Procedures

Component procedures contain the logic for how to install, uninstall, and control a component. A given component can define any number of procedures. For example, it can define more than one way to install or uninstall a component. An example of a control procedure might be some logic for starting and stopping a server.

The only way to add install, uninstall, and control procedures is through the advanced edit feature in the HTML user interface or through the XML check-in process using the CLI.

When you create a composite component, by default it will inherit a default install procedure and a default uninstall procedure. In general, components often inherit their procedures from their component type. For more details on inheritance see Component Inheritance.
