For a complete description of package promotion, see Package Promotion in Detail.
The package promotion process has several steps:
- Creation of temporary saved sets for each repository in the package.
- Validation of the records in the temporary saved sets for each repository.
- Revision of the temporary saved sets based on package promotion rules, for example, removing any records that belong to packages that have validation errors.
- Promotion of the records in the temporary saved sets for each repository.
- Removal of the temporary saved sets to reduce clutter.
The validation and promotion operations launched by Package Promotion processing are visible in the Job Monitor as individual jobs. The Scheduled Import Jobs repository shows the overall package promotion progress.
