You can create a new prototype file with information about the product to package.
Follow these steps:
  1. Click the New icon on the toolbar.
    The New package dialog appears.
  2. Enter information about the PIF package, as follows:
    • Package name
      Indicates the name of the PIF package, according to the UNIX naming conventions, up to a maximum of 128 characters.
    • Package version
      Indicates the version of the PIF package in the format M.m.b.r, where M (major), m (minor), b (build), and r (revision) are numeric values in the range from 0 - 99,999. Each of the values entered can consist of a maximum of 5 digits, for example, 10 or 00010.
    • Package platform
      Indicates the UNIX or Linux platform specifying the hardware and operating system on which the PIF package can be installed. When you select Any, the package can be installed on all supported UNIX and Linux platforms.
    • Template
      Indicates the template used as a framework for the creation of an individual package setup. A template is formatted as a prototype file.
  3. Click New.
    The new prototype file is created in the Packager's package library and the package is displayed in the project pane.
If the package creation fails, the error message is displayed in a separate tab of the Output panel. This error message tab remains visible till a new build job is started; thus, allowing you to switch between patches without loosing the error information.
