The Options page is the final step before starting PackBot.
This page of the wizard allows users to change two minor settings:
Output Folder
This is the root folder where all the repackaged / virtualized projects are saved.
|
Note: A subfolder is created for each task. The name of the subfolder is the same as the name of the project that has been configured in the previous step of the wizard. |
Parallelism Level
This number indicates how many tasks can run at once. By default, this is set to the number of unique machines that are defined in the pools. Setting this number to a higher value speeds up the packaging of many packages at once, provided that the machine is capable of running that many different virtual machines. On the other hand, when running on a slower hardware, the number may be decreased to get an overall better performance. Modern computers should be able to run up to two or three VMware Workstation machines without much performance penalty. ESX and Hyper-V servers are usually powerful enough to start much more machines at once and when working solely on them, the number can be safely increased as well.
Advanced Scanning and Exclusion Options
These options are equivalent to the PackRecorder settings, described in the following chapter: Coverage + Exclusions.
