A scoping mechanism for items in the model.

Note that you can refer to a Package item using the Category name.

Important When you retrieve the type of a Package, it is returned as Category.

In addition to the common attributes

A textual property that defines the access permissions of a Package.

The syntax is as follows:

where:

For example:

DEV\David,User,Owner;DEV\Andrew,User,Write

Access is read/write.

A textual property that records the order of the Package's Attributes. For example:

Attribute1

Attribute2

Access is read/write.

A string describing whether the Package is browsable. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.

Access is read/write.

A textual property that gives an overview of the dictionary item.

Access is read/write.

A Boolean property that specifies whether the Package is a profile Package. Profile Packages appear as high-level folders in the Find Model Items dialog. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.

Access is read/write.

Note that when a Package has its Is Profile Package attribute set to TRUE, the Package is linked to the Dictionary item through the Profile Package association.

A derived string that specifies the Code Editor language for the Package when no value is set for the Language attribute.

The derived Effective Language value can be overridden by Language values set for child Packages, Operations and Action Nodes.

If the Language and Effective Language attributes are both blank, no Language is set for the Package. If the Code Editor cannot find a language to use, it uses the default language of C++.

When a value is set for the Language attribute, the Effective Language attribute is blank.

Access is read-only.

A string that specifies the Code Editor language that is set for the Package.

The specified language can be overridden by Language values that are set for child Packages, Operations and Action Nodes.

If no Language value is set, the Code Editor uses the language that is specified by the derived Effective Language attribute.

Access is read/write.

A string describing whether the access permissions of a Package are exported when using the Package Import/Export > Export command. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.

Access is read/write.

A textual property that records the order of the Package's Operations. For example:

Operation1

Operation2

Access is read/write.

A string describing whether ACS should generate the Package as a subfolder or namespace for C++.

The string can be set to Folder or Namespace.

Access is read/write.

A string that returns the current user's access permissions to the Package, that is, either Read, Write or Owner.

Access is read-only.

A string that specifies the name of a com object that is then available to all your profile scripts, except on delete scripts. The name must be a valid com object that can be created through a VB script CreateObject function.

Note that if the Profile Prog Id contains non-alphanumeric characters, those non-alphanumeric characters are replaced with underscores.

Access is read/write.

A string describing whether the Package is protected. Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.

Access is read/write.

Note that if the Package is under configuration control, you cannot change the Protected property manually.

This attribute is no longer used.

Access is read/write.

In addition to the common associations

Relationship to Comments that are applied to the Package.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

Relationship to Constraints that are applied to the Package.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

A collection of Boards that run the software of a Package.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

See also Contained Board.

A collection of Boards that are scoped by the Package.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

See also Board.

A collection of items that are dependees of the Package (as defined through Dependencies).

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

A collection of Dependencies for which the Package is the dependee.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

A collection of Dependencies for which the Package is the dependent.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

A collection of items that are dependent on the Package (as defined through Dependencies).

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

The Formal Template Parameters that are owned by the template Package.

Modeler ensures that Formal Template Parameters on a template Package match associated Actual Template Parameters on a bind Dependency. If you create Formal Template Parameters through the automation interface, you must ensure that they match any associated Actual Template Parameters.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

Relationship to Comments that are owned by the Package.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

Relationship to Constraints that are owned by the Package.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

A collection of all items scoped to this package.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

A collection of all child Packages.

Multiplicity is 0+, access is read/write.

Relationship with parent package.

Multiplicity is 0-1, access is read/write.

Each of the following associations are a collection of items (whose type is that of the association name) that are scoped by the Package. In each case, the multiplicity is 0+, and the access is read/write:

If you use these items on add, for example:

Package.Add ("<class name>")

then this will prevent you from adding more than one item of the same name to a package.
