package to export.
The deployment configurations defined in the package appear on the Deployment list.
-
By default, no deployment is selected and all the deployment configurations defined in the package are exported. To
include the deployment configuration in the package, on the
Deployment list, select a deployment type.
The deployment configurations settings for the selected deployment type are exported and the values for the global variables, server variables, web services and device settings defined in the base package as applicable, are overwritten with the values from the selected deployment type. For example, if the server variable value in a base package is BaseDB and the server variable value in the production deployment type is ProductionDB, after export, BaseDB is overwritten with ProductionDB.
