.pack

Description
Use the .pack command to add an adaptor for a packaging application to a project step. A packaging adaptor is a Build Forge object; it is based on the adaptor template for a packaging application. The adaptor code for the step is executed when the project runs.
Syntax
.pack <adaptor_name> [entry_name]
The <adaptor_name> is required; it is the name assigned to the adaptor in the Management Console. The <adaptor_name> case should match the case used in the console.
If your adaptor template has multiple interface functions, specify the one that you want to execute by using the entry_name option. The entry_name must match the name attribute specified for interface element in your adaptor template. In the following example, the entry name is PackageFunction.
If you are using an adaptor link, the adaptor is called automatically and the first interface function in the adaptor template is executed. To execute a different interface, in the adaptor template, set the default attribute to yes (default="yes") on the interface that you do want to execute.
Examples
.pack MyPackagingAdaptor
.pack MyPackagingAdaptor PackageFunction
