Ideally, any user-defined ACEs should be put in their own category.Rule Type The Rule Type of this ACE is displayed (read only).• Custom - Source Only Packages ACEs allow you to quickly test any column or anyvalue of a table. For example, you could use a user-defined ACE to identify packages thatcreate a desktop icon. To define a user-defined ACE, you use an SQL “Where” clause.• Custom - Source and Target Packages ACEs allow you to compare columns orvalues of Source package tables (new packages that you want to install onto a user’ssystem) to columns or values of Target package tables (packages already installed on auser’s system). For example, you could use a Source and Target Packages ACE todetermine if the installation of a Source package onto a Target system would produceduplicate registry entries. To define a Source and Target Packages ACE, you must definean SQL “Where” clause, and specify a Join Column (a table column in the ApplicationCatalog database that has a matching value for both the Source and Target packages).• DLL - User Provided DLL based ACEs allow you to run more complex tests—testingmany tables in any combination. For example, you could use a DLL-Based ACE to confirmthat a source product language is the same as all target product languages. To define aDLL-Based ACE, you use SQL and other programming commands. With DLL-BasedACEs, you can use a Conflict Application Resolution Definitions (CARDs) to fix the conflict.
