How to Package

Packaging varies according to the type of application being generated. They are as follows:

Online packaging for character-based (block mode) applications
Batch packaging for batch applications
Window packaging for GUI applications
Cooperative packaging for Client server applications
Component packaging to build components for use in Component-Based Development

Packaging also varies according to the environment for which you are generating. If you change the environment, the new target may have different packaging requirements, making repackaging necessary.

All packaging can be performed on the workstation. All packaging is uploaded and stored on the encyclopedia. Packaging done on the encyclopedia is downloaded with the model or subset and must be changed if it is not appropriate for your workstation environment.

Note: You may see an asterisk (*) next to a procedure step when you package load modules. The asterisk indicates that the procedure step is checked out to another subset. You cannot package procedure steps that are checked out to another subset.
