Issue/Introduction

Here is a way to customize PC Transplant to store the package in another location other than a Package Server. You will want to use a Copy File task to send down the Client package of PCT, and then use a Run Script task to execute the commands below. Your not able to run individually from the client due to license issues, you have to send it through the ITMS Console.

Environment

GSS 3.x, Deployment Solution 8.x

Resolution

To store PC Transplant packages in a custom location, then a custom run script task can be created with below commands:
