Table 5–1 Summary of Steps for Creating Components

HTML User Interface 

Command Line Interface 

  1. Use the Components page to create a new component.

  2. On the Component > Details page, add the reference to components that make up the component. If a components has already been checked in, you add it as an existing component. Otherwise, check in the component as a new resource.

  3. Save the component. Saving the component creates a new version of the component with a specific name and version number. This new version of the component is associated with the specific versions of the resources that make it up.

  1. Run the cdb.c.lo command to list the resources that make up the component you want to manage.

  2. Using an XML editor such as TurboXML, write the XML definition of the component.

  3. Run the cdb.rsrc.ci command to check in the resources that make up the component you want to manage.
