Creating a change package
You can use the change package wizard to create new change packages directly in Explorer.
About this task
To create a new change package:
Procedure
- Right-click anywhere in the change packages view and click New
> Change Package. The Change Package dialog
opens.
- If you select Automatic change package numbering in the Configuration Manager Preferences view, you do not have to enter a package name. A new change package number is automatically assigned to the change package. If automatic numbering is not enabled, you can enter the name of the new change package.
- Optional: Enter a description and an external reference. The external reference might, for example, be the unique ID of a corresponding item in your enterprise's change management system or problem tracking system. The CM server passes this reference as a parameter in the communication area (COMMAREA), to user exit programs.
