How do you include a custom Database Task (and its associated custom PL/SQL package) in a delivery/customer-solution repository, given that exporting the Database Task itself only produces an XML file, and there doesn't seem to be an export option for its Schedule?

Answer

Run the documented method in the database to extract the Database Task definition into PL/SQL-code format, then wrap that generated code in an .ins file and add it to your repository — IFS's own documentation on 'Including Database Tasks and Database Task Chains in Code' covers the exact procedure. The Task's Schedule (its recurrence/timing) is explicitly not something that gets exported or delivered this way — the schedule has to be set up manually in each target environment after the task itself has been delivered.
