Package Properties

The following table describes the fields you must complete when adding or editing packages. If any of these fields are incorrect or left blank, the package generates an error when the package is executed.

Field	Description
Package type	FILE or SQL
File	If the FILE package type is selected, a file text box is displayed so that you can specify the file that contains the package. Note You can find example packages in the Examples folder. See Adding Sample Packages to the Data Manager. Choose eData Data Upload to upload package files to the MyFiles or Examples package group. See Transferring Files Using OSoftTaskFtp2008. End of the note. Note The System Files group is read-only and contains packages that are maintained by SAP. You cannot upload files to this group. End of the note.
Package name	The name of the package. If the file contains packages, you can view a list of available packages (when you select the file package type).
Group	The folder group to which the package is added. You can define a new group here.
Description	A description of the package.
Task Type	You can control who has access to run the package. If you select Admin Package, only users who are Planning and Consolidation Administrators can run an administrative package. The package can still be saved to a team that contains non-administrative users. A non-administrative user can see the package, but cannot execute it. If you select User Package, users who have been assigned the Execute Data Management task security privilege can execute the task.
