15.1 Objects included in Package

After a Package has been Built select the Package in the Main Window, then use the Included Objects tool on the toolbar or the Objects option from the Package menu.

 

During the Build step, the repository objects included in the Package definition are used in combination with the cross-reference settings to determine the complete set of objects to be included in the Package.

The first tab in the Object included in Package dialog, Selected Objects, details all the objects specifically selected for inclusion in the Package.

The second tab, Cross Referenced Objects, details all objects included in the Package, that is objects specifically selected for inclusion in the Package and any cross referenced objects included in the Package when it is built.

Use the Save to File option on the Selected Objects tab or Cross Referenced Objects tab to create a text file of the objects.

The Delete option can be used remove objects from the Package.  If any objects are removed from the Package, the Package will need to be re-built.

When a Package is modified and saved, any cross-referenced objects previously included in the Package will be removed.  The cross-referenced objects will be regenerated when the Package is re-built.

If you re-build a Package (without re-saving the definition) you have the option to:

  • re-build the list of cross-referenced objects

or

  • use the cross-reference object list generated during the last build.

If any of the objects associated with the Package have changed it is recommended that you rebuild the cross-referenced object list.
