Create packages - setup
Clicking on Tools / Packages / Create packages opens up the context menu window. The first tab contains general information about the package.
Name of the package
Version number can be assigned by the user and must conform to a predetermined format e.g. 1.0.0.0
Update URL if the user plans further updates for the package
Documentation URL if the user provides documentation
Support email if the user provides support
Description of the package
Make license validation available
If the checkbox has been activated, the user has the possibility to assign a license key to protect his or her product from piracy.
Choosing the package content
After the general information of the package has been defined, the content of the package can be selected. With a click in the checkbox next to the element, this element can be added to the package. Indicators, strategies, conditions, self-programmed conditions, alert handlers, entry, stop, and target escorts, workspaces, templates and hot keys are available for selection.
Settings from the Configuration Escort
The tab TE_Config.xml contains all the settings of the Configuration Escort. These settings can also be made available for other users too.
Further export settings
Alongside the contents listed above, there is also the option to add your own instrument data to the package by selecting the checkbox "Export instrument data". The two other checkboxes are for the general AgenaTrader support service. This data is requested to understand a problem the user might have; however, these have no practical function in creating the trader packages themselves.
