Definition

This flag indicates whether you want the language packages to be unpacked during the import or not.

If this flag is not set (default), the system checks whether the data files for the transport requests in the package are already in the transport directory when it unpacks the package file. If so, they are not unpacked again and this step is skipped. A data file is only unpacked from the package if the system cannot find it in the transport directory.

This reduces the import time for language packages, since packages being imported into multiple systems in the same transport domain only need to be unpacked for the import into the first system in the domain. This option makes sure that unpacked files are used for the other systems in the domain. It also makes sure that any imports running for other systems do not terminate due to opened data files being changed or opened again.

If you set this flag, the transport files needed for the import are always unpacked from the package file before the import. This is not normally necessary.
