other software packages. You can use the Package Wizard to apply packages.

always apply packages from the same site.
About this task
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.
The Designer
determines whether the selected package can be applied to the schema without
affecting the schema components.
- If it can, click Finish. The Designer will
attempt to apply the package to the schema and you will see a success or failure
message on completion.
- If it cannot, click Next and continue to the
next step.

record types in your schema that the package can enable or modify, for example,

record types.
- When you add a package that uses state types, the Setup State Types
page opens. For each of the records that you have applied the
package to, select the appropriate state type for each of that record's states.
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.
