The <compVarSet> Element

The <compVarSet> element allows you to supply the name of an existing component variable setting in the <install> step of a plan, when a <component> child element of the same step exists.

The <compVarSet> element is a child of the <install> element and is valid only if the <install> element uses a <component> repository targeter.

The <compVarSet> element appears just after the <component> element. For information about <component> repository targeters, see Repository Component Targeters in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 XML Schema Reference Guide.

The <compVarSet> element has one attribute: name. The name attribute for the <compVarSet> element supports variable substitution and must be an existing component variable setting name in the target component.

If a <compVarSet> element is specified for a targeter component in an install step, you cannot override the component's name either in the Plan Run screen of the browser interface, or when running the plan at the command line, with the pe.p.run command and the -vs argument.
