Defining and Removing Software Dependencies 

Use

The Software Catalog in the SLD contains information about dependencies between software component versions at installation time (in the InstallationTime context). However, you have to define dependencies in other contexts (in the BuildTime and MetaDataRequest contexts) and dependencies between third-party software component versions. Bear in mind that you can only define a software component version that is a prerequisite for another software component version.

Prerequisite

You have a user assigned to the LcrInstanceWriterCR role.
