Package Functions in ERO

When a package is attached to a release, some package functions exclusive to releases are added. You can access these functions through the release - Release Package List panel described in the previous topic.

To make it easier to work on a release package, most of the commonly used package life cycle functions are also available through the release - Release Package List panel.

The following table provides information about functions listed on the release - Release Package List panel. The table shows whether the function is a ChangeMan ZMF base product function or an ERO function. For base product functions, the table shows the Package List Option for the function in the base product and the menu path (jump command) in the base product.
