Naming Convention for Installation Plans and Package Builds

The naming convention for installations plans and package builds is:

<Pathcode><PackageType><DateString><X>

where:

  • <Pathcode> is the first two characters of the path code, like DV, PY, PS, PD

  • Valid values for <PackageType> are: F (Full Package) or U (Update Package)

  • Valid values for <DateString> are in this syntax: YYMMDD

  • <X> is an optional character to distinguish duplicate names

To avoid naming conflicts, when the package name is defined by the System, the package name will be: PSFYYMMDD1, where 1 (X) is incremented to the next available number. After this value reaches 9, the process logs this error:

Cannot find next available package for today: MMDDYYYY

Note: This process automatically defines a full package for the selected path code. It derives the Foundation, Language, and Server(s) information from the currently deployed package for this path code. If the system cannot find a deployed package in this path code, it writes this error in the log:Cannot find deployed package for <Path Code>.

To recover from this condition, you have three (3) options:

  1. Wait and let the system launch the automatic package build for the Language Install Batch on another day.

  2. Delete the package name in both JDEPLAN and DEP920 environment, then resubmit the Language Install Batch with package build.

  3. Manually build and launch the package.
