| About Packages You can create data packages (.mgp files) here in the Site Administrator or during the process of loading file-based data in Autodesk Infrastructure Studio. Large collections of source-data files can be zipped up in this file format and saved for easy transport. You can use packages to load data onto the site when a standard load procedure fails on very large files due to a timeout. The advantage of creating spatial data packages is that you can transfer large files to the server, using the Load Packages page to extract the data directly into the resource repository. This is often more efficient than loading large data files over HTTP, which can take much longer or lead to timeout problems. You can save a package file anywhere. However, all data packages must be copied to a specific packages folder before they can be loaded into the repository. You specify the location of the package folder with the Site Administrator program (on the Configure Services page: Packages folder). You then use the Load Packages page to extract the data directly into the resource repository on the site server. . The process of creating and loading a package file looks like this: You specify the location of the package folder using the Site Administrator program, then create the package in the Site Administrator or from a load procedure in Autodesk Studio, and finally load the package using the Site Administrator.
