Use the Package Definition editor
to define package definition properties.
Before you begin
To use the deployments and packages components, you must have
a Developer for IBM® Enterprise
Platforms client access license (CAL). You must also have the following
permissions:
- Build
- Save Build Engine, Save Build Definition, Request Build, Save
Build Result.
- Packaging
- Request Package.
- Deployment
- Request Deployment.
A project administrator can modify these permissions
by right-clicking your project area, clicking Open,
and then expanding the Team Configuration node
from the Process Configuration tab in the Project
Area editor.Note: For Rational Team Concert version
4 or version 5, the IBM i and z/OS® scripts are consolidated,
so the directory structure changed. If you upgrade from V3.0.1.x to
V4.0 or later but continue to use the V3.0.1.x package and deployment
definitions, the old scripts are used. If you create new package and
deployment definitions, the new scripts are used. If you customized
the scripts for version 3.0.1.x, make the same changes to the new
V4.0 or later scripts. For more information, see
https://jazz.net/library/article/876.

Results
The Package Definition editor opens to the
Overview tab, displaying an overview of your new package definition.Note:
The archive produced on z/OS uses the PAX/tar file format, even if the package
has a .zip extension. You can inspect the content of the produced archive. See
Inspecting a package.
What to do next
Configure your package definition according to the steps
required for your operating system. Also, for Linux® or UNIX you
must create a ship list file by completing the steps that are described
here: Creating a ship list filter file. A ship list filter
file is optional for IBM i and z/OS.
