About the Application Package wizard

The Application Package Wizard helps you package in a Product rule the classes, rules, and data that make up an application. A Product rule is an instance ofRule-Application-Product (RAP).

The wizard lets you review data instances associated with the application, and to manually remove any that you do not want to include in the RAP. When the RAP is complete, you can export it as a zip file or use the RAP to migrate the product to another system.

The wizard generates a Product rule with the same name as the application it contains. You can reuse the Product rule for future exports or migrations of the application.

The product rule created by the Application Packaging Wizard automatically contains instances of the following data classes that form part of the application you are packaging:
