Creating packages

Edit online

When you create a package, the actual configuration data is collected and added to the package and the package manifest is created. The package is in the form of records in a staging table.

Before you begin

  1. Create and approve the package definition.
  2. Identify targets to which the package will be distributed.
  3. For CHANGE package definitions, activate the package definition.

Procedure

  1. In the Migration Manager application, select the package definition.
  2. On the Package tab, click Create.
  3. In the Upload Compiled Sources window, in the Read-Me Information field, type information about the package that you are creating. This information is to help the administrator to deploy the package in the target environment.
  4. Optional: For a Snapshot package, specify a different processing action from what was specified when the package was defined.
  5. If the Compiled Sources table window contains files, click Upload File next to each file.
    The listed files were specified in the package definition.
  6. Optional: Upload any compiled sources that were not specified in the package definition:
    1. Click New Row.
    2. In the File Name field, click Upload File.
    3. In the Upload a File window, click Browse to specify a file to upload, and then click OK.
  7. Click Continue, and then click OK after the package is created.

What to do next

After the package is created, you can distribute it.
