Dynamic Suite 

Composition
An Introduction
Mayank Johri
Dynamic Suite Composition
It enables a virtual application
package to allow dependent plug-
ins or middleware packages to use
the primary package’s registry
settings so that the packages
behave and interact with one
another in the same way as if they
were installed locally on a
computer. It allows apps to be
sequenced in separate virtual
environ. yet selectively

Virtual Working Environment

 DSC: Benefits
Multiple set of dependencies can be
defined using multiple OSD files.
Mandatory and optional dependencies
can be defined.
Dependent packages can be updated
without updating other packages.
Same dependency package can be
used by multiple packages.
 DSC: Drawbacks
Sequencing time increases based on the
number of dependent packages.
Management of DSC not practical.
Cannot use primary package for more
then one combinations of secondary
packages.
 DSC: Definitions
Primary Package:
Package which is responsible for
creating the virtual working
environment.
Secondary Package:
Packages which are called by the
primary package to create the virtual
working environment. There are two
types of Secondary Package
 DSC: Secondary Package
Mandatory Secondary Package:
Packages which are streamed along
with the primary package
Optional Secondary Package:
They are only streamed if required.
