Software Package Builder 5.0 User's Guide

IMPORTANT: If File * is used to add files, you will not be able to display the individual filenames
from the Destination Filesystem. This makes it difficult to determine if you are delivering more
files or directories than intended. A common problem encountered when using the File * option
is the accidental inclusion of source control directories (e.g., RCS, CVS) and/or editor scratch files
to the package. Selecting the Recursive option is an alternative way to explicitly add all files and
directories under a particular directory. Using the Recursive option allows the packager to display
and verify the files and directories that will be included, avoiding accidental inclusion of
unnecessary files.
Setting File Mapping Options
You can set one of three file mapping options using the following steps:
Procedure 5-1 To set the recursive option
1. Select the Recursive checkbox.
2. Once the appropriate source and destination directories have been selected, click Add.
3. Continue adding directories recursively or clear the Recursive checkbox.
Procedure 5-2 To set the file * or include option
1. Click the Advanced Options button. The Advanced Options dialog box displays, as shown
in Figure 5-2.

2. Select the file mapping option you want to enable by clicking in the check box. This will
enable the mapping option and display a checkbox on the Manage Fileset Content main
window, as shown below.
