I need to create a new package VRC and I'm not quite sure of the steps I need to take.

package = tr
vrc = liv0

1. I gone to Maintan Package VRC's - ttadv1111m000 and added a record for my new package vrc.

2. I added my software component directories for my new package vrc in ttadv1115m000 - Maintain Directories of Software Components

3. I have a package combination already created.

4. I then go to ttaad1121m000 - Maintain Packages by Package Combination where, under my LIVE_001 pck comb I add a record for my new trB40O_c4_liv0. I'm presumming that I now need to select the "REBUILD DD" option. This is where my nerves start to go. What does the rebuild dd actually do? Will I need to do a rebuild I've read somewhere in the session help that you do not always need to rebuild dd.

At the moment under my LIVE_001 pck comb I have a trB40U_c4_stnd package vrc do I replace this with my new trB40O_c4_liv0 or append trB40O_c4_liv0 ?

I've attached screen shots of what I've done so far

Thanks

What about the Rebuild DD option in Maintain Packages By Package Combination?:confused:

Thanks

PJ

That's right, you said package VRC.

The procedure is the same, just leave out steps 3, 6 and 7.

As a final step, you need to go back to Maintain Package VRCs and change the status to 'released' to avoid developers changing released software by mistake.

Unless you are copying software components into the new VRC right away, there is no need to create a runtime DD.

Remember that a VRC is only a repository for software components. No more, no less. It's the software that needs to be converted to runtime, not the bin that holds it.

Thanks you've made things very clear.

In my current LIVE_001 package combination I already have a trB40U_v4_stnd package vrc do I replace this with my new trB40O_c4_liv0 package vrc or append trB40O_c4_liv0 ?

I really should read these questions before answering them, shouldn't I?:rolleyes:

Either option will work. To avoid future confusion I would replace stnd with liv0.

Anything else I left out?
