Build Component Manager

The build component manager is used to define the components and their dependencies used during Adelia component-based build.
Before using this manager, it is best to familiarize yourself with the concepts and terminology relating to the build components by reading the following help sections:

• Adelia component-based build
• Executing an Adelia component-based build project.

Display criteria

Radio buttons

All

The component type does not affect the display of the list of components.

Messages

Only Messages-type components are displayed in the list.

Pgm/Classes

Only Programs/Classes-type components are displayed in the list.

Favorites

Only the components selected by the user with the Add to favorites option are displayed in the list. This list of favorites is limited to 20 Programs/Classes-type components. It is specific to each user and kept when the build component manager is opened.

This list is also used by the Associate to a build component context menus or the Assoc. component buttons in the Maintenance manager and Object manager to perform a quick selection of a component.

Filter

This filter is used to limit the display of components.
It contains a list and an entry field.
This list is used to select the name of a column to which the entered alphanumeric filter will be applied.
An alphanumeric filter can be comprised of numbers, letters or "?" (to replace any character) or "*" (to replace a group of characters) wildcard characters.
Each time a column name is selected, the last filter entered for it is restored as well as a contextual menu in the input field, used to choose from the last four filters entered and the predefined characters [] (no components displayed) and * (all components displayed).

The list of build components

This list presents the components meeting the display criteria.
The following are displayed for each component: its name, type (Messages or Pgm/Classes), description, the groupId of its artifacts, the prefix of the names of its artifacts, the date of the last artifact production (corresponding to a successful build with deployment of artifacts in a repository) and its version.

This list's contextual menu contains the options proposed in the Components menu of the menu bar, as described below.

Alternate ascending and descending sorting in each column is obtained by clicking on them.

In a correction environment, there may be a check mark in front of each component name.
A red check mark indicates that the component is held by default correction. A black check mark indicates that the component is held by a correction other than the default one.
