Creating an extension bundle for deployment

Before you can use the extension bundling features in the Deployment form, you must enable the FarmEnableExtensionBundle setting in the Settings Editor form of the Configuration Manager utility, or using the Configuration Manager from a Command Line Interface (CLI). See the help topic about the farm-wide setting for extension bundling in the Configuration Manager help.

Note: Only users with MGCoreTrans and MGDeveloper license modules can access the Extension Bundles form.
  1. Open the Extension Bundles form and initiate a new record.
  2. Specify this information:
    Name
    Specify the extension bundle name.
    Description
    Optionally, provide a description.
    Namespace
    Optionally, select a namespace from the list, to which the extension bundle is to be included.

    Including a package to a namespace indicates that the package is a global package, which can be deployed to multiple customers.

    Note: The list contains all namespaces, imported by the Tenant Management Service (TMS), from the CloudSuite Portal (CSP). To view all existing namespaces, open the CSP Namespaces form. Only users with MGCoreTrans and MGDeveloper license modules can access the CSP Namespaces form.
    Version
    Optionally, specify the version of the extension bundle.
  3. Click Save.
To add objects to the extension bundle, use the Deployment form. You can add objects to extension bundles using Access As and Object Prefix values or using forms, selected items, and referenced items. After you add objects to an extension bundle, you can use the Extension Bundles form to generate and download the deployable zip file of the extension bundle. To deploy it in the target environment, use the Deployment form.
