Ordering software within a BLPackage by dependency
Using the BLPackage editor, you can order software packages according to their dependencies.
For example, if you are deploying a package called Patch_A, and it depends on another package called Patch_B, the BLPackage should process Patch_B before Patch_A.
To specify a dependency for a software package, use the software package's DEPENDENCY_LIST property to specify other software packages already stored in the Depot on which the package is dependent.
To order software by dependency
- In the hierarchy view, select the BLPackage or any software package included in the BLPackage.
- Right-click and select Order by Dependencies from the pop-up menu.
All software packages in the BLPackage are ordered according to their dependencies.
