Working with Components Assigned to a Deployment Package

An Application consists of Components. If you assign an Application to a Package, all Components of this Application are assigned to the Package.

Assigning Components

1. Open the Release Automation perspective and click the Packages tab.
2. Double-click a Package to open it.
3. Click the Components tab.
4. Click Assign in the toolbar to assign Components to the Package. The popup displays all components of assigned applications. Check (or clear) the components which should be assigned to your package and click OK to save your changes.

Copying Components from the Predecessor Package

You can bulk-copy components from the predecessor package if you select a predecessor package beforehand (see Working with Deployment Packages).

The popup displays all components which are referenced by the predecessor package of the current package. Components of the predecessor that belong to an Application which is not yet assigned to the current Package are grayed out and cannot be selected.

Check (or clear) the Components which should be referenced in the current Package too and click OK to save your changes.

Creating and Assigning Artifacts to Package Components

1. Open the Release Automation perspective.
2. Click the Packages tab.
3. Select the Components tab.
4. Select a Component.
5. Click the + inline button next to the Component name to create and assign the Artifact.
6. In the dialog, select an Artifact Source.
7. Enter a name for the new Artifact.
8. The Source Path and Archive Type (for example, .zip, .tar, .tar.gz) fields are populated with the values defined in the custom type. Both fields are editable.

   Note: If the Archive Type is not empty, the system will unpack the content of the Artifact while transferring the Artifact to the Deployment Target.

9. Enter the remote artifact checksum file to be downloaded (See: Working with Components Assigned to a Deployment Package).
10. Click Create.
