Packages add new functions to a schema or integrate schemas with
other software packages. You can use the Package Wizard to apply packages.
Note that if you are working in a MultiSite environment, you must
always apply packages from the same site.
To apply a package by using the Package
Wizard:
- In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer, right-click on the
schema version to which you want to apply the package and click The Package Wizard opens and lists all available package versions.
- Select a package revision to apply.
- Click The latest package versions are displayed.
If the package version that you are looking for is not listed, click More
Packages.
If you select a version from this list
and click OK, the package is displayed in the original
Install/Select window.
- If you are running on a Japanese (code page 932 or 60932) or Simplified
Chinese (code page 936) platform, the package version that is displayed is
the latest matching localized version and the latest ASCII version. Otherwise,
only the latest ASCII package versions are displayed.
- If you are running on a Japanese (code page 932 or 60932) or Simplified
Chinese (936) platform, but are currently working with English packages, clicking More
Packages displays the latest English package versions.
- In the second page of the wizard, select the schema to modify. The Designer verifies that the package you selected can be applied to
the schema. If the package cannot be applied to the schema, you see an error
message. For example, if the package modifies a particular field, and that
field does not exist in the schema, none of the components of the package
are applied to that schema.
The Designer determines whether the selected
package can be applied to the schema without affecting the schema components.
- If it can, click Finish.
- If it cannot, click Next.
- If you must modify record types in your schema before you can apply
the package, the Package Wizard Setup Record Types for Package window opens.
This window lists record types in your schema that the package can enable
or modify, for example, by adding fields, actions, or a script. If the package
does not include modifications for enabling existing record types, the list
is empty. Select the record types that you want the package to enable. Click Finish or Next.
- To skip this step without selecting any boxes, click Finish or Next.
- To enable the record types in the Package Wizard later, click . For more information, see Enabling
record types.
- When you add a package that uses state types, the Package Wizard
Setup State Types window opens. Select the record types that you want the
package to enable. Click Finish or Next.
On this page of the wizard, you must assign state types to the states
for each record type that you choose to enable. For each state in the package,
click the State Type field and select the appropriate
state type from the existing schema that should be mapped to this state. You
must map each of your existing states to a state type in that package. You
can map more than one state to a state type, but each state type requires
at least one state. When you are finished, click Finish.
To
skip this step, click Finish. You can set the state
types later by clicking . For more information, see Mapping
state types.
