About Download Package Attributes

Download package attributes describe the download package, express its availability dates, specify its export compliance settings, and so forth.

Attribute

Description

Download Package ID

A unique ID used to associate the download package with products and files.

If the download package is to support containerized applications, the download package ID must fulfill the following requirements:

•

Allowed characters: letters, numbers, and the special characters dot (.), underscore (_), and minus (-).

•

Any letters must be lower case

•

Start with a letter or number

•

Maximum 100 characters

Download Package Name

The name of the download package to be displayed to users in the End-User Portal. It should be brief but descriptive, for example, Enterprise Server 2.4 Solaris or Enterprise Server 2.4 Documentation.

Extended Description

An optional, additional description attribute for the download package. Maximum: 1000 characters.

Container Delivery

Specifies whether the download package supports the distribution of containerized applications, such as Docker images and Helm charts.

•

Yes—Download package supports the distribution of containerized applications as well as file-based installers.

•

No—Download package supports only file-based installers.

See Managing Containerized Applications for more information.

Version

The version of the download package.

Release Group

An optional attribute to help sort the download package’s appearance in the End-User Portal. Maximum: 20 characters.

Effective Date

The date when the download package becomes available on the End-User Portal. Accounts have access to the download package if the download package’s effective date occurs within their entitlement’s effective and expiration dates on the line item for that download package.

Expiration Date

The date when the download package moves to the archive (Previous Versions) tab or becomes inaccessible from entitlement lines with start dates later than this expiration date.

If the expiration date is in the future, the download package appears on the new versions section of the End-User Portal. If the expiration date is in the past, the download package moves to the release archives section. Accounts have access to the download package from the release archives section even if the download package is expired, provided there is an overlap between the download package’s effective and expiration dates and the entitlement's effective and expiration dates.

Archive Date

The date on which the download package moves to the archive (Previous Versions) tab. Users may still download it if they have access through an overlap with their entitlement dates, but must find it on the archive tab on the End-User Portal. (New entitlements with beginning dates after the expiration date will not have access to this product at all.)

Download Package Producer

The producer of the product and the download package. (See Managing Producers.)

Product Line

The product line in which the download package appears.

End User License Agreement

An optional, click-through license agreement. (See Managing License Agreements.)

Physical Distribution Available

Specifies whether users on the End-User Portal have the option to request a copy of the download package on physical media. FlexNet Operations offers customizations to integrate with a physical distribution facility. When your site is integrated, this attribute shows whether or not end users have the option to request a physical copy of the download package. (See About Physical Distribution and Order Media Requests.)

This option is not supported for containerized applications.

Restrict to US/Canada

Specifies whether to restrict delivery to users in the United States or Canada or to permit delivery outside those countries.

Yes—Restricts delivery to users within the United States or Canada.

No—Permits delivery to users outside the United States and Canada.

If you choose No, ECCN, ENC, and CCATS attributes are required. Otherwise, they are not used. See About Export Compliance for more information.
