If your archive does not include associated data, use the Application Packaging wizard
to identify data-admin instances associated with your application and create a product rule to
define your application. This is most common for customers who have upgraded from PRPC 6 or
earlier.
-
In the header of Dev Studio, click .
-
In the Application field, select the application to
package.
- Select the product target ruleset and version in which to generate the product rule.
-
Specify which rulesets to display:
-
To display all of the rulesets specified in the Rule-Application instance of the selected application, select the check box.
- To save the product rules in an application or built-in application layer, select the check box.
-
To display only the rulesets that are not part of the currently selected application, clear the check box.
-
Enter the name and version number of the ruleset in which to create the product
rule.
Note: If you select a ruleset version that is in the application you are packaging,
the product definition itself becomes part of the package.
-
Clear the check box next to each built-on application to exclude from the application,
and click Next.
Tip: To create a completely self-contained package, include all applications
in the stack. If you later try to import the application into a system that does not
include the dependent applications, the import fails.
-
Complete the remaining screens to specify items to include or exclude from the
application package.
-
Click Finish to package the application.
What to do next: After the application is packaged, click any of the following buttons to continue:
-
Preview - Displays the rules, application data, system data,
schema, and code items that are exported based on your selections.
-
Modify - Edit the content of the application product rule. For more
information, see Product
rules.
-
Export - Create a .zip file with content based on your selections.
This .zip file can be used to archive a version of your application and for importing your
application to other servers.
-
Migrate - Migrate the application directly to another server. For
more information, see Migrating products from the user interface.
