Creating components from DevOps Build

The Create Component window displays.

In this case, the component inherits source configuration, properties, and processes from the template. For information about templates, see Component templates.

ubuild Url

The URL of the Build server, such as https://Buildrepo.example.com.

User

The user name of the Build-credentialed user.

Password

The password of the Build-credentialed user.

Project

The name of the project. Build projects roughly correspond to Deploy components.

Build Process

The name of the build process that contains the builds to import.

Status

The status that a build life must have before it can be imported. The server only imports build lives that contain this status.

Artifact Sets

If Copy to CodeStation is checked, type the list of artifact sets to resolve in CodeStation. Place each list item on a new line.

Extensions of files to Convert

If text-type files must be converted into another character set, type the list of file extensions to be converted. Matching file types are converted into the default or system character set of the system where the agent is located. Separate list items with commas, for example:

txt,log,ini,sh

Import Versions Automatically

Select this check box to check for new versions periodically and to import new versions automatically. If you do not import versions automatically, you can import versions manually by clicking Components > selected component > Versions and then clicking Import New Versions.

Copy to CodeStation

This option, which is selected by default, creates tamper-protected copies of the artifacts and stores them in the embedded artifact management system, CodeStation. If the check box is cleared, only metadata about the artifacts is imported. In most cases, keep this check box selected. The default for this setting is in the system setting Components copy to CodeStation by default. For more information, see System settings.

Default Version Type

Specify how to import versions into CodeStation:

Full

Each version is comprehensive and contains all artifacts.

Incremental

Each version contains a subset of artifacts.

Use the system's default version import agent/tag

If this parameter is selected, the agent or tag that you specified on the System Settings page is used to import component artifacts. Agents must have access to the system where the artifacts are located. For more information, see System settings.

Import new component versions using a single agent

If this parameter is selected, use the Agent for Version Imports field to identify the agent that is used to import artifacts into the component. The agent must have access to the system where the artifacts are located. To import artifacts from where the server is located, install an agent in the same location and specify that agent.

Import new component versions using any agent with the specified tag

If this parameter is selected, use the Agent Tag for Version Imports field to identify the tag that is used to select agents to import artifacts into the component. All tagged agents must have access to the system where the artifacts are located.

Inherit Cleanup Settings

To apply the component version cleanup settings that are specified on the System Settings page, select the Inherit Cleanup Settings check box. If this check box is cleared, you must specify how long to keep component versions. For more information about cleaning up component versions, see Cleaning up component versions.
