Content table
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:
- Start Packaging Utility.
- Click Copy Packages.
- Open a repository. See Preparing to copy packages from a repository or Preparing to copy packages from Passport Advantage for information about opening repositories.
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 opening a repository, you can determine if 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 copying update offerings.
