Creating Components

You create the initial component version by creating a component and importing artifacts into the artifact repository, CodeStation. You can import component versions from a number of different sources either manually or automatically.

To create a component:

Ensure that any artifacts you want to import into Deployment Automation are ready and are in the location from which you want to import them, such as your file system or a source configuration tool.
Navigate to Components > Create Component [button].
Enter the information needed to create the component.
- The basic fields are available for every source type. See Basic Fields.
- Select the source location of your artifacts in Source Config Type, and then complete the additional fields specific to that source configuration type. Once the source configuration type is defined, all artifacts for the component must be of that defined type. See Source Configuration Type Fields.
Click Save.

Saved components are listed in the Components page. If you have selected Import Versions Automatically, the initial versions will appear under the component's Versions tab after the polling period plus any quiet period have elapsed. If not, you must import the initial versions manually. See Component Versions.

The following topics describe the component options.
