You can configure object packages as described in General object management. Additionally, you can, and in some cases you must, configure each component object individually. For example, you must set logon credentials and parameters for each component object individually, rather than at the object package level.
Component objects inside an object package have the same functionality as they would outside of the object package, regardless of limitations of the object package. For example, with respect to notification, object packages support only event notification; however, you can set audit, email, and event notification for the individual component objects inside the object package. For report objects in object packages, processing extensions and alert notification are both supported. However, again, these do not apply to the object package as a whole.
In contrast, you cannot set destinations or server groups for component objects. You can only set these at the object package level. For details on setting destinations, see Selecting a destination. For details on setting server groups for objects, see Specifying servers for scheduling.
On the Properties page of an object package, the "Scheduled package fails upon individual component failure" check box is selected by default. This means that if one of the component instances in a package fails, the object package instance in the History will appear as Failed. If you do not want the object package instance to fail if one of the component instances fails, clear the "Scheduled package fails upon individual component failure" check box.
