Project Packages
- Chandresh Patel
Package definition is introduced with FlexDeploy 5.0, where user can define package with list of files which can used during build request of with release definition. Package details can change during development life cycle as necessary. Users can continue to build ad-hoc packages i.e. without any name as before.
Packages are uniquely defined at partial deployment project, hence you can have package with same name in two different projects if necessary. Package list can be accessed from Packages button or green packages tab.
Security Permission
Execute Project permissions is needed for package create and edit. Users can create or update package from build request form also, hence this approach is taken for package security.
