What components does the Application Packaging wizard prompt for during archive file generation?

The Application Packaging wizard is designed to facilitate the generation of archive files that contain essential elements of a Pega application. When working with this wizard, a major focus is on the elements needed for proper application deployment and maintenance.

In this context, the inclusion of data instances is crucial because they represent the actual data stored in the application. These instances reflect the operational state of the application and its configuration, which needs to be preserved when packaging the application for transfer or backup. The ability to include data instances ensures that not only the application structure is maintained but also the contextual data that the application relies on is included for full functional integrity.

The other components mentioned, such as rules definitions, implementation notes, and data types, while important for the functioning of Pega applications, do not specifically align with the primary focus of what the Application Packaging wizard prompts for during the archive file generation process. The wizard emphasizes the need for complete and accurate data instances that support application operation upon deployment.
