This topic provides information about the package manager which is used to create and deploy packages from existing projects. A package is an archive file that contains all the artifacts that are required to run a map or process.

The package file is stored with the .djar extension. This file includes all the map or process artifacts in a single file so that you can deploy it to a server where it can be run with the djengine.

If compatibility mode is disabled (default state), then the new package can be created using a Runtime Configuration file (*.process.rtc or *.map.rtc). If compatibility mode is enabled, then the new package can be created using a *.ip.xml file. The selected process and any artifacts referenced by the process are automatically added to the package list. You can add additional artifacts to the package after creating the initial package inventory file.

To create a package, you must first create a package inventory file and then use this file to create a package.
