Packages and Versions

A package enables you to create a snapshot of a selected application with all of its content and dependencies. Each snapshot is called a “version”. You can use the same package to create subsequent versions. This enables you to create different versions of this snapshot over time, as the source application changes.

Packages and versions give you the ability to “back up” source applications, which you can deploy at a later time - even if the source application has been changed or even removed.

Note: Packages include all of the objects contained within its source application, but they do not contain the actual data associated with any datasets from the source application. Rather, the data is loaded when the objects are deployed to the target application, after the deployment job completes.

Before You Begin: Verify that the desired source and target servers have been created.

  4. Under Content Source, click the Server drop-down and select the server to use as the source.
  5. Click the User drop-down and select the User that owns the application you wish to include in the package. This list contains only the users with Composer rights on the server.
  6. Click the Source Application drop-down and select the application you wish to include in the package. The list of applications available is filtered based on the user you selected previously. The Create New Version button activates, and you may now create a new version.
