Updating Package Metadata
Package metadata can be updated to change the status of the package or to push the file
entries metadata in the package to the File Metadata Repository. The "Update Package
Metadata" page enables you to do the following:
• Change the status of the package. You can release or obsolete a package by
changing its status to "Released" or "Obsoleted". Once a package is updated to the
"Released" status, it can no longer be updated and becomes accessible to other
users. Once a package is updated to the "Obsoleted" status, it can no longer be
updated or deployed.
Note: With the Change Approval Framework, once an approver
approves a request to release/obsolete a customization package
from a user, the package is released/obsoleted. The user does not
need to release/obsolete the package explicitly after the approval.
Tip: Add comments for future reference when you release or
obsolete a package. For example, state the reason why you are
obsoleting a package.
• Add file metadata entries to the File Metadata Repository.
• If you are the owner of the package or super administrator, you can mark the
package as "Public" which entitles the package to be shared across all users for
view/update.
• Add comments which are recorded in the package history for the above changes.
