Source and Target Packages in Template Jobs vs. Custom Jobs

AdminStudio Enterprise Server 11.5 | Job Manager

Edition: Job Manager is included with AdminStudio Enterprise Edition.

The selection of source and target packages in a Template Job differs from how source and target packages are selected in Custom Jobs.

For Template Jobs:

Target packages are selected when a Template is created.
Source packages are selected when a Job based on a Template is created.
An Import Job Step cannot be included. All actions must be performed on packages that have already been imported into the Application Catalog.

For Custom Jobs:

Both Source and Target packages are selected when the Custom Job is created.
An Import Job Step can be included, and you can use newly imported packages as Source packages in subsequent Job Steps.
