Assigning Software ComponentsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

The required software components must be created and configured in the System Landscape Directory (SLD).

For more information, see Creating and Removing Third-Party Software Components .

You have loaded a development configuration and are now in the Configuration Service.

For more information, see the Display/Change Development Configuration section in this documentation.

Procedure

To add a software component to a development configuration, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose the Software Component Definition tab page.

  2. To get a list of software components that you can add to the development configuration, select Add SC .

    Note

    Displaying the software component list can take a very long time for a large System Landscape Directory.

  3. Select the required software components from the list and choose Add .

    Note

    If the required software component is not in the list, create it in the System Landscape Directory. To do this, select Create New Software Component and follow the instructions on the screen. Select Refresh to be able to see the software component you just created in the list.

    For more information about creating software components, see Defining New Versions of Software Components .

  4. Optional: To select software components for development, select if from the software component list and select the checkbox To Be Developed .

    Note

    If a DTR is specified in the development configuration then the checkbox is selected automatically.

  5. Optional: You can specify build options for every development configuration. You can either specify build options that make sense in your own development configuration or select a build option from the documentation of the build options that are supported. No build options are selected by default.

    For more information on the supported build options, see Build Options

    With the Apply to All Software Components pushbutton you can copy all the build options of a developed software component to all software components. However you cannot copy individual build options to other software components. Note that the required software components do not have build options.

  6. To save the changes, choose Save .

    Note

    If you have specified a runtime system for the development component, check if new software components are to be deployed after adding a software component on the Local Settings tab page in the software component table. If these are not to be deployed then deselect the checkbox of the new software components.
