Panels for Creating and Editing Companion Installations

Getting there

Create a companion install package (also called a "companion database") to install any files that are not installed with Reflection. Because companion files are installed independently of Reflection, you can upgrade the product without removing these support files. You can also deploy additional support files without re-installing the product. If, for example, you are supporting several business units that require their own customized configuration files, you can create a companion install package for each business unit.
