titleBest Practices When Using the CM Tool Unpacker
  • Run the validation rules on the pack settings before starting the unpacking action. See Understanding the CM Tool Validation Rules.
  • If any validation rule fails, go through the description solution provided for the failed rule and try to fix the issue before starting the unpacking action. Possible solutions are provided for most rules.
  • The CM Tool provides the ability to remove unwanted entities or metadata using check boxes(by deselecting the appropriate check box). If you remove any entities or metadata from the packing in this mannerpack, be sure to validate those entities or metadata run the validation rules to ensure that they will not cause the unpacking to fail.
