    Informatica MDM Hub
    , query groups are logical groups of queries. Select the query group under which the query is organized.
    Query group name
    Name of the new query group - only needed if you chose to create a new group above.

    Optional description for the new query group you are creating.

    The Create New Package wizard displays a final dialog box. The dialog box you see depends on the type of package you are creating.

    Deselect the columns that are not relevant to your package.
    You must have both a PUT and a non-PUT package for every Foreign Key relationship. Both Put and non-Put packages that you create for the same foreign key relationship object must have the same columns.
    If you selected to create a non-Put enabled package for foreign key relationships (see Step 7 of this procedure - do not check the Put check box), the following dialog box is displayed.

  11. Click
    Finish
    to create the package.
Use the Packages tool to view, edit, or delete this newly-created package.
You should not remove columns that are needed by
