Product Packaging
Agent components are bundled together into product installation packages, referred to simply as packages in this document. Each package is identified with a package version number and each component within a package is identified with a component version number.
Each package and component maintenance level is identified with a version number (see Versioning, below). The component maintenance level is incremented whenever a new component is made available that contains defect fixes or feature enhancements. A package maintenance level is incremented when a product component within the package changes or the package installation changes.
Package maintenance levels are not necessarily made available for all platforms. Package maintenance may be released for a subset of supported platforms. For example, Universal Agent 6.3.0 for z/OS and UNIX may be at maintenance level 6.3.0.1,
...
but
...
Universal
...
Agent
...
6.3.0
...
for
...
Windows
...
may
...
be
...
at
...
6.3.0.0.

identifiers
...
at
...
its
...
discretion
...
when
...
it
...
deems
...
an
...
appropriate
...
number
...
of
...
enhancements
...
or
...
capabilities
...
have
...
been
...
introduced
...
to
...
warrant
...
the
...
change.
...
Versioning
Package version numbers are comprised of four numeric identifiers: version, release, modification level, and maintenance level.
For example, for Universal Agent 6.3.0.1:
...
- 6
...
- =
...
- Version
...
- 6
...
- 3
...
- =
...
- Release
...
- 3
...
- 0
...
- =
...
- Modification
...
- Level
...
- 0
...
- 1
...
- =
...
- Maintenance
...
- Level
...
- 1

Product

component
...
version
...
numbers
...
are
...
similar
...
to
...
the
...
package
...
version
...
numbers.
...
Each
...
product
...
component
...
within
...
the
...
package
...
is
...
identified
...
with
...
the
...
same
...
version,
...
release,
...
and
...
modification
...
level
...
as
...
the
...
package,
...
and
...
with
...
a
...
maintenance
...
level
...
that
...
is
...
independent
...
of
...
the
...
maintenance
...
level
...
of
...
the
...
package
...
or
...
other
...
components
...
in
...
the
...
package.

For
...
example,
...
within
...
a
...
Universal
...
Agent
...
6.3.0.1
