Recommended minimum set of packages

MadCap Software recommends having at least three deployment packages of IXIA CCMS Desktop: Prod (Production), Prod-Admin (Production Administration), and Test. Depending on your needs, you might have more.

Prod and Prod-Admin are the most frequently used packages—one for regular users and one for CCMS Administrators. The Test package is used to test new functionality or bug fixes while leaving the user with the capabilities to continue working with the official Prod package.

The specifications of the minimum set of packages are as follows:
