Create Package Template Groups and Package Templates
A package is an individual item being transported to another environment, such as a target rule or a source target table. A package group is a collection of packages, organized into a logical set of code to be transported as a unit, such as Stewardship Tier Security or Advanced Data Migration Wave Value Mapping.
Promote is delivered with a set of best practice package template groups with package templates to use as a starting point for code transportation. When a template is copied into a package group, all packages in the template are added to the package group. The package filter criteria can then be modified to fit the project’s needs.
If additional package template groups are needed beyond what is delivered, create a new one.
To create a package template group:
-
Select Configuration > Templates in the Navigation pane.
-
Click Add.
View the page description for the Package Template Groups page
-
Enter a template name in the NAME field.
-
Click the TEMPLATE DEFAULT check box to enable it, making the template group the default when using a template to create a package group (i.e., clicking the Copy Template button on the Copy Template page).
-
Click Save.
To add template packages to a package template group:
-
Select Configuration > Templates in the Navigation pane.
-
Click the Packages icon for the package template group.
-
Click Add.
-
Enter a sort order in the PRIORITY field. This is the order that the package runs when the package group is compared or transported.
-
Enter a package name in the NAME field.
-
Click Save; the Vertical View displays.
-
Enter a brief description of the package in the Description field.
NOTE: The remaining fields on the Data Structure and the Object Structure tabs are for filtering. Refer to Add Filters to Packages for an explanation of each filtering method and a description of the filter fields.
