## Description

Performs the Update now procedure on a package. This will create a SyncJob to the CiSync service residing on the Point-server with the 'AutoJob' bit set which will (after completion) in turn create 'auto-syncjobs' to child servers as well as BaseAgent-DistributionServers when/if the package is assigned or the child servers are 'replica' servers.

This function is equivalent to the CM-plugin right-click action on a package.
