In this example using MongoDB Community Edition 6.0, we'll create a managed package in Application Workspace via the Application Workspace Setup Store.
To create a managed package:
1. On the Connectors page, select the Application Workspace Setup Store connector.
2. Click Resources in the table toolbar.
3. Search for and select the product - in this case, MongoDB Community Edition 6.0.
4. Click Create package in the table toolbar.
5. In the Create package window that opens:
On the Overview tab
- Enter a name for your new package or keep the default name.
- As the Package type, select 'Managed'. Managed means that every time MongoDB releases a new version for this product, the Application Workspace Setup Store connector updates the package with the latest version. For more details about package types, see Connectors.
- In Publish, select the stage to which you want to publish the new package. For more details, see Package
- Leave the Update existing packages unchecked. If this option is selected, it will overwrite an existing package.
On the Setup details tab
- Access links to the release notes and product description on the developer's official website, plus links to Recast Help Center articles
- View virus scan scores and CVE reports, in case any vulnerabilities and exposures exist for this resource.
- In the Superseded by products table, view all the product versions within Application Workspace Setup Store that supersede the currently selected version.
If you decide that you want to install one of the versions marked as superseded in this table, just double-click on it, and then click Confirm. It will open a new Create package dialog box for this version.
On the Dependencies tab, Application Workspace lists all prerequisite software components and automatically detects if they are installed or not on your local system. You can easily create a package for each uninstalled component right from the dialog box by double-clicking it or by selecting it and clicking Create package in the table toolbar. It opens a new Create package dialog box where you configure the new package.
- Select Ignore missing dependencies if you do not want to create managed packages for connected dependencies.
On the Customize tab, access the customization wizard for additional settings offered by the developer.
On the Entitlements tab, add the identity (like contexts, device collections, devices, groups, users and user collections) to which you wish to publish the newly created package.
On the Summary tab, leave the Modify package after creation enabled if you want to open the newly created package and further configure it.
If you configure the managed package to be published in the user's catalog, the following sections come prefilled: excerpt, description, media, details and website.
