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 may comprise determining a software object to be transported. The method may then create, on the first system, a transport request comprising an object list. The method may also define, on the first system, a transport container and include the software object in the transport container. Further, the transport container may be included in the object list of the transport request. The transport request may then be provided to the second system.
