Specifying Package File Location
Before you create a package, you must configure the location where you want to save the package file. You can save it in the current workspace or in the user-defined location. By default, it is saved in the current workspace.
To set the package preferences:
1. Go to Options > Preferences > DataConnect > Package and Deploy.
The Package and Deploy options are displayed.
By default, the Store package in Workspace option is selected that saves the package in the current workspace. If you want to save it in a different location, then clear this option.
2. In Packaging Options, select the required options:
Store Package in workspace - Select this option to save new packages in the Packages folder for each project. click Browse and specify the location where you want to save the package. The specified location is displayed in the text box. The default location is C:\Users\<username>\Actian\DataConnect\Packages.
Always create external RTC for package - Select this option to always create an external RTC with new packages. The RTC can be used with the client SDK or the -RC engine option.
Always overwrite external RTC file - If overwrite option is not selected, then an RTC file will be created to make sure that the file name is unique. The default will be created first.
packageName_entrypointName_entrypointType.rtc (default)
packageName_entrypointName_packageVersion_entrypointType.rtc (if the default file exists)
packageName_entrypointName_packageVersion_dateTimeStamp_entrypointType_.rtc (date and timestamp will be added to the subsequent versions so that the file name is unique).
3. In Integration Manager, by default, the Connect to Integration Manager powered by Actian DataCloud option is selected that saves the package in the default actian server after specifying the Username and Password. If you want to save the package in a different location, then clear this option and specify the following:
Server URL - Type the name of the server.
Username - Type the user ID to connect to the server.
Password - Type the password to connect to the server.
4. Click Test Connect to verify the connection.
An appropriate message is displayed when the test connection is successful or unsuccessful.
5. Click Apply and Close to save the settings.
