.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.
To execute a different interface, edit the adaptor template to set the default attribute to true (default="true") on the interface that you want to execute.
Examples
.pack MyPackagingAdaptor
.pack MyPackagingAdaptor PackageFunction
