Package configuration: Legacy method to inter-relation
Legacy Package Deployment Model has the ability to configure packages also. Package configuration is the way we handle configuration in Legacy Deployment Model. Packages are different objects in legacy model which has no relation to the project, so we cannot apply project scope parameters or such things for them. However, package configuration solved this problem in another way.
Package configuration consists of properties and values which will be set outside of the package and can be used inside the package simply. There are five types of package configurations, four of them are based on the location of configuration values, and one of them is for passing values between packages.
We will take a look at some of the most common package configurations in this recipe with a sample like what we generated in the very previous recipe (Parameters), but this time we work with package configuration instead of parameters.
