Using Packages › Move a Package to a Different Project

Move a Package to a Different Project

The move package process lets you move one or more packages from the current project and state to a state in another project. This process moves only the package definition and history, not any changes made in the first project. Changes associated with packages cannot be moved with this process.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the package you want to move.
2. Right-click the package, and select move package process from the shortcut menu.

   The move package process dialog appears and lists the package you selected.

   Note: The lowercase italic text indicates the process dialog name by the process type, since the process execution dialog names differ to each site.

3. (Optional) Click Add (the plus [+] sign) to open the Select Packages dialog from which you can select packages in the current state. Click OK.

   The packages are added to the move package list.

4. (Optional) Select packages from the list, and click Remove (the minus [-] sign).

   The packages are removed from the move package list.

5. Select a target project and state by using the drop-down lists.

   The target project and state are specified.

6. (Optional) Select the Include Package History option.

   All the package history records that have been created in former projects are included in the moved package.

   Note: If you no longer require the history, excluding it can reduce processing time.

7. (Optional) Select the Keep Source Package option.

   Duplicates the source package and the same form is associated with both packages. Because the package relationship is maintained by the associated form, a form property page is also added. Both the packages share the same history and after the move both are independent packages linked only through forms.

8. (Optional) Click Note to view information about the process.

   Click OK.

   The package appears in the destination state of the destination project.
