Associating a File to Download Packages

You can associate a file to one or more download packages from the file’s View File page. The download packages to which you associate the file can be identified by their download package IDs, their system IDs, or located via a download package search.

Note:If your existing files have the same download package associations you want to make for the current file, it may save time to use the Associate Where command instead. See Using Associate Where to Copy Associations from Another File.

To associate a file to download packages

On the View File page, click Associate > Associate to Download Packages. This link opens the Associate File to Download Packages page.

Identify the download packages to associate. Choose whether to enter download package IDs or to search for download packages:

•

Enter download package IDs when you already know the download package IDs or system download package IDs of the download packages you want to associate.

In the Download Package IDs field, type the download package IDs as a comma-separated list or enter them one per line. Note: If you enter system IDs, remember to select the Use System IDs check box.

Click Associate Download Packages.

•

Search for download packages by entering search criteria if you do not know the IDs of the download packages you want to associate.

Type your search criteria into the download package search fields.

Click Search. The Producer Portal shows a list of download packages that match your criteria.

Select the download packages to associate and click Associate File to Selected Download Packages.

The Producer Portal creates associations between the current file and the download packages you identified and opens the Where File Used page for the current file.
