Editing CBS Build Compartment XML 

Use

When you save a track, the Change Management Service (CMS) generates the correct XML content for performing the build in the Component Build Service (CBS). This XML content is part of the development configuration and defines the CBS build compartment in which the software component is built. In special cases, you may need to edit the content of the XML file:

●      If you want to enter build options in the CBS build compartment.

●      If you need to enter a dependency relationship for a required SC.

Prerequisites

You have created a track.

The XML content needs to be different from the standard settings.

You work in the CMS Landscape Configurator.
