Creating a Package Definition

To set up a new application in Aras Innovator, the user must create a Package by creating a Package Definition with its dependencies and then exporting the Package.

In this case, the manifest file for the import must be adapted and needs to be committed or staged to the Version Control System.

The following steps outline the process of creating a Package Definition:

1. Login into the Aras Innovator instance.

2. From the Table of Contents, expand Administration and Configuration, then select PackageDefinitions.

3. Click Create New PackageDefinition.

4. On the PackageDefinition Form, enter the name of the PackageDefinition. For example, com.aras.training.sde.

5. Create a test Item and add it to the new Package.
