Define the source type and identify the artifacts that are associated with the component. The source type can be any or nearly any associated with a software project. After the source configuration is defined, all artifacts must be of the defined type. See Creating components.
Create the initial component version by importing artifacts into the artifact repository, CodeStation. Versions can be imported manually or automatically. Version imports can be full (all artifacts are imported) or incremental (only changed artifacts are imported). IBM UrbanCode Deploy tracks all artifact changes. Tracking these changes lets you roll back components or deploy multiple versions of the same one.
Use the process design editor to create a process for the component; see Process editor. Component processes consist of user-configured steps that operate on the component, usually by deploying it. The available steps are provided by installed plug-ins. As shipped IBM UrbanCode Deploy provides plug-ins for many common functions. Numerous other plug-ins are available from UrbanCode; see http://plugins.urbancode.com.
