Packager Wizard as a mechanism for deployment was last used when the Great Pyramid of Cheops was built. You can't create a job deployment package until you have released one or more jobs.

It is much easier to use Version Control to get read-only DataStage objects promoted.

In Manager, highlight the job and go to Tools|Release Job. This job will be available to the Package Wizard.

WHY does client only want Packager Wizard?

It is outdated and superseded technology, at least for job deployment. And if they don't understand "released jobs", then they are speaking from a position of total ignorance.

Challenge them!
