<systemType> Installed Component Targeter

The <systemType> element identifies a component that is an instance of a particular type that is assumed to be installed on the target host. If more than one installed component matches the specified criteria, the component that was most recently installed is used.

The <systemType> element can be used as a targeter for the <checkDependency>, <createDependency>, <call>, <uninstall>, and <addSnapshot> steps.

Attributes for the <systemType> Targeter

The <systemType> targeter has the following attributes:

• name – A required attribute of type systemName, which is the name of the system type component. If the system type is defined by a plug-in, the system type name should be prefixed with the plug-in name, such as pluginName#typeName.

• installPath – An optional attribute that is the install path of the desired component. The value is converted to universal format prior to component resolution. This attribute can reference simple substitution variables.

• host – An optional attribute that is the host on which the component is installed. By default, host is the current host. See the description of the host attribute in Attributes for the <retarget> Step. This attribute can reference simple substitution variables.
