Configuring Your Developer Settings

Available in: Developer Edition

Package uploads and installs are available in Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

User Permissions Needed
To configure developer settings: “Customize Application”
To create packages: “Create AppExchange Packages”
To upload packages: “Upload AppExchange Packages”

The developer settings in a Developer Edition organization allow you to create a single managed package, upload that package to the AppExchange, allowing other users to install and upgrade the package in their organization. After configuring your developer settings the first time, you can no longer modify them. Regardless of the developer settings, you can always create an unlimited number of unmanaged packages.

To configure your developer settings:
  1. From Setup, click Create | Packages.
  2. Click Edit.

    This button doesn’t appear if you’ve already configured your developer settings.

    Note

  3. Review the selections necessary to configure developer settings, and click Continue.
  4. Register a namespace prefix.
  5. Choose the package you want to convert to a managed package. If you do not yet have a package to convert, leave this selection blank and update it later.
  6. Click Review My Selections.
  7. Click Save.

You may want to specify a License Management Organization (LMO) for your managed package; to find out more, go to http://sites.force.com/appexchange/publisherHome.
