How DCM computes and creates a transfer package

A transfer package is a set of files that is generated from a transfer set and destination database definition pair at the source database.

DCM creates a transfer package using:

By default, DCM saves the 30 most recent times at which the transfer package was generated. The modification time of each object version in the transfer set is compared with the last generated time. Each object that is newer than the last generated time is then added to the transfer list. The time that the transfer package was last generated is shown in the Last Generated field of the Generate dialog.

After DCM compares the modification times, it removes from the transfer list any objects that are excluded or ineligible. This result is accomplished using built-in exclusion rules of DCM. The Exclude dialog can also be used to further restrict which objects are transferred. The final transfer list is shown in the Preview Generate dialog. All these objects are included in the data part of the DCM transfer package.

These objects are excluded from the transfer list when DCM applies its built-in exclusion rules:

You can also exclude objects from the transfer list using one or more of these options in the transfer set Exclude dialog:

You can include or exclude objects from the releases, templates, or process parts of a transfer package using one or more of these options:
