Switch Versions from One Package to Another

The Switch Package process lets you move versions from one source package to a target package.

Note: Any versions that have review comments and attachments are switched with the package. When the target package has a review request, all source package comments and attachments are transferred to that review request. When the target package does not have a review request, the source review request is duplicated before transferring the comments and attachments. The status of the new review is reset to Open or In Progress and the primary reviewer must approve the review again.

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click a package, and select Switch Package process from the shortcut menu.

   The Switch Package process dialog appears, and the Versions list is automatically populated with the source versions.

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

2. Use the Source Package or click the Package button, and use the Select a Package dialog to select a source package.

   The selected package populates the Source Package field.

3. Select the versions in the Versions list that you want to switch to the target package.

   The versions are destined for the target package.

4. Click the Package button, and use the Select a Package dialog to select a target package.

   The selected package populates the Target Package field.

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

   Click OK.

   The versions are switched to the target package and are no longer associated with the source package. If a failure occurs, all selected versions remain with the source package.
