Overview of creating components

Components are the centerpiece of the IBM® UrbanCode Deploy deployment engine. Components associate deployable items (artifacts) with processes that deploy them.

The following diagram summarizes the basic steps that you do to create components:

The source type identifies the artifacts that are used by the component. The source type can be almost anything that is associated with a software project. Sources are defined with source plug-ins.

Component versions are created when artifacts are imported into the artifact repository. Version history is maintained and components can be rolled back to earlier versions.

Component processes consist of user-configured steps that operate on components, usually by deploying them. Process steps are provided by automation plug-ins. Processes can be created with the process design editor, or by using CLI commands.
