Abstract

Systems and methods consistent with the invention relate to the distribution of software. According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for distributing software from a first system to a second system comprises determining a software object to be transported. The method stores the software object in a storage device and creates, on the first system, a transport request which comprises an object list. The method defines, on the first system, a transport container and includes a reference to the stored software object in the transport container. The method also includes the transport container in the object list of the transport request and provides the transport request to the second system.
