A package definition file must contain at least one command line. Files are optional.
Note
Files that you add when you define the package do not appear in Software Manager.
Therefore, you cannot resolve conflicts between files you add to the package definition
and files in other packages.
To create a package definition
1. Do one of the following:
On the Projects tab, click the Run link to the right of the task or tool associated
with Package Definition. Package Definition will be run on the default project
file. This tool might skip pages or populate fields based on command-line
options defined in Process Templates Setup.
On the Tools tab, double-click Package Definition.
The Specify Package page appears.
2. Complete the page:
Project Name
Enter a name to identify the project when the package definition is saved in the
share point Project directory.
Application Name
Enter a name to identify this application in the Software Manager database.
Package Name
Enter a unique name to identify this package in the Software Manager
database. Typically, you use the application name plus specific version
information. Example: If the application name is Adobe Acrobat Reader, the
package name might be Acrobat Reader 9.0.
Package Description
Describe the package. This becomes part of the package meta data when the
package is imported into the Software Manager database.
3. Click Next on the Specify Package page.
The Specify Files page appears. The upper panes of this page display the directories
and files that are accessible from your computer.
4. (Optional.) To include files in the package definition, use the following buttons.
