N1 Service Provisioning System 4.1 Reference Guide

The systemService Installed Component Targeter

The <systemService> element may be used as a targeter for the <checkDependency>, <createDependency>, <call>, <uninstall>, and <addSnapshot> steps. It identifies a particular system service component that is assumed to be installed on the current physical host.

Note –

Use of the <systemService> targeter implicitly retargets to the root physical host of the current host. If one needs to target a system service on a different host, a <retarget> step must be used. One cannot otherwise name a new host within the <systemService> targeter.
