Therefore, you might want to import the same package into your database more than once, each time with a
different set of transformations. What happens when you import the package the second time depends upon the
identifiers you selected on the
Duplicate Package
Tab. In this example:
•
If you select the
List of Transform Files
and
ProductCode
identifiers on the
Duplicate Package
tab of the
ConflictSolver and Application Manager
Options
dialog box, Application Manager will not identify these two
packages as duplicate, even though they have the same
ProductCode
, because they have a different set of
transformations. Therefore, the package will be imported with the same display name as the first package.
•
If you only select the
ProductCode
identifier on the
Duplicate Package
tab of the ConflictSolver and
Application Manager
Options
dialog box, Application Manager will identify the second package as a duplicate
because the two packages have the same
ProductCode
.
Duplicate Product Name Conventions
When it identifies a duplicate package, by default Application Manager generates a new name for that package by
pre-pending the Product Name with the Manufacturer’s name and, if necessary, appending the Product Name with
numbers:
•
1st Package
: PowerPoint
•
2nd Package
: Microsoft Corporation_PowerPoint
You can edit the
Duplicate Package Naming Syntax
on the
Duplicate Package
tab of the
Options
dialog box.
When Duplicate Packages are Identified During Bulk Import
If Application Manager is performing a bulk import or reimport, it still identifies duplicate packages using the user-
specified criterion. Application Manager will generate a unique displayed product name and allow the import to
proceed without prompting the user.
Application Manager identifies duplicate packages based upon the identifiers that you selected on the
Duplicate
Package
tab of the ConflictSolver and Application Manager
Options
dialog box. See
Using Duplicate Package
Identifiers
for more information.
