# Package Mapping

# Introduction

Package mapping involves creating a new virtual package alongside the existing ones while ensuring that the correct concurrency is calculated. This process is particularly useful when multiple raw package names correspond to a single package. The new package name should be visible in both the License Monitor and historical reports.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

# Configuring `package-mapping`

Open package-mapping in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify packages to combine with the following syntax:
```
MAP: <Combined_Package_Name>      
<PackageName_1>       
<PackageName_2>
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
Example
```
MAP: CombinedPackage   
Package028
Package114
```
This example combines the usage of Package028 and Package114 and will be gathered through CombinedPackage.
Save the changes.

Open package-mapping in the etc directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify packages to combine with the following syntax:
```
MAP: <Combined_Package_Name>     
<PackageName_1>       
<PackageName_2>
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
Example
```
MAP: CombinedPackage 
Package028
Package114
```
This example combines the usage of Package028 and Package114 and will be gathered through CombinedPackage.
Save the changes.
