Composite Cartridge Editor Manifest Tab

Use the Manifest tab to manage entity-level dependencies in a composite cartridge. Design Studio uses the following top-level entity types to determine all entity-level dependencies in a composite cartridge project:

Order
Fulfillment Pattern
Order Recognition Rule

By default, all entities from all component cartridges that are referenced in the composite cartridge are included in manifest.

Note:

Design Studio populates the entity list based on project-level dependencies defined in the Dependency tab. If you have not defined any project dependencies, the entity list will be empty. See "Project Editor Dependency Tab" for more information.

Required Entities

Field	Use
Entity Type	Displays the top-level entity types that define the scope of the composite cartridge: Order, Fulfillment Pattern, and Order Recognition Rule. Select an entity type to display the required entities from component cartridges that are referenced in the composite cartridge. By default, all entities in all referenced component cartridges are included in the solution scope.
Entity List	Displays the required entities for the selected entity type. If the cartridge is sealed or read-only, the entity list is read-only. To exclude entities from the list, deselect the Include all from project check box, click Select, and from the selection list select only those entities that you want to include in the solution. For example, you may choose to exclude a new orchestration fulfillment pattern that is still in development and untested. Once the list is populated, you can click Remove to remove entities or Open to open the corresponding editor. Note: Excluding an entity in the Manifest tab removes it from the validation process only; packaging is not impacted. If the entity is referenced in the run-time environment, it will be available.
Include all from project	By default, the check box is selected. The entity list is automatically populated with the entities from all referenced component cartridges. To customize the entity list, deselect the check box and click Select to select one or more entities from the selection list.
