Structure of VPI Package

VPI Package (.ZIP) is a collection of one or more applications. Each application (.ZIP) is downloaded as a single unit on eVo based devices.

Below example, has a main VPI Package (MainVPI.ZIP) that has two Applications. (Application1.ZIP and Application2.ZIP.)

VPI Package can be imported into VHQ and set up as a VHQ Package. The contained V/OS Applications (Application1.ZIP and Application2.ZIP) are extracted and set up as VHQ Applications. Manifest File#0 defines the Package Name and Version, Manifest File#1 and Manifest File#2 define the Application Name and Version for the Applications Application1.ZIP and Application2.ZIP respectively.

The VPI Packages are built by the Corresponding SE (Sales Executives) using VPI Package Installers.

NOTE:

For the devices enabled for Automated Download, VHQ compares Application Name and Version defined in Manifest Files (Manifest File#1 for Application1, Manifest File#2 for Application1) against the Application Name and Version as reported by Device and downloads the Applications that do not match.
