Packages encapsulate components to be applied into an existing iSM configuration or iWay Integration Application (iIA). Packages are built using the iSM Administration console by selecting the specific components to be included. The package command enables packages to be managed through a command console or within a script.

To use package, issue the following command:

package  <action> <name> [-config <name>] [-directory <name>] [-version number]

where:

<action>

Is the specific action to apply. Supported actions are listed and described in the following table.

Action	Description
add or merge	Merges a package into the configuration.
delete or unmerge	Removes a package from the configuration.
list	Lists the packages that are currently installed.

The following table lists and describes the switches that are supported by the package command:

Switch	Description
-config	Name of the iSM configuration or iIA. If omitted, then the current iSM configuration is addressed.
-directory	Location of packages if not in the standard install location. This switch applies only to the merge action. Note: Packages are built in a standard location in your installation by the iSM Administration console. You can move your packages to an external directory for distribution if required.
-version	The version for the package. The default value is 1.
