Packaging Utility checks the open set of repositories for
required files when copying packages. Repositories listed in the Content
table are considered the open set of repositories
To access the Content table:
To remove a repository from the open set of repositories:
- Select the repository.
- Click Close Repository.
- In the Close Repository window, click OK.
Types of offerings
After you open a repository,
you can determine whether a package is a base offering or an update
offering in the Content table. Expand the repository name until the
product version displays. Offering types are indicated by the icons
next to the product versions:
: Base offerings
: Update offerings
The repository for an update offering does not contain
all the files required to install the product. Update offerings have
a base offering. The base offering is typically a major release of
a product and an update offering is typically a minor release.
Example
Product A version 1.0 is a base
offering while Product A version 1.0.1 is an update offering. Packaging
Utility copies only full working repositories. A full working repository
contains all the files necessary to either install the base offering
or install the update offering with the base offering. Packaging Utility
gathers files from both the update offering and the base offering
when you copy update offerings.
