VOB Creation Wizard: components
Use this window to indicate whether the VOB will contain multiple components or just one VOB-level component.
You can store multiple components in a VOB. If your project uses a small number of components, you may want to use one VOB per component. However, if your project uses many components, you may want to store multiple components in several VOBs. A VOB can store many versions of many elements. It is inefficient to use a VOB to store one small component.
Keep in mind the following restrictions:
- A component root directory must be the VOB root directory or one level beneath it. A component includes all directory and file elements under its root directory.
- You cannot nest components.
- Allow this VOB to contain multiple components
- Set to create a VOB in which you can store multiple components.
- Seed the VOB with these components
- To create the components that you plan to store in this VOB, set this
option, select a view, and click Add.
The Add Component window appears. After you complete the fields in the Add Component window and click OK, the component appears in the list below Seed the VOB with these components.
To remove a component from the list, select it and click Remove. To change a component name or root directory, select it from the list and click Change.
- Create VOB as a single VOB-level component
- Set to create a component at the VOB root directory.
If you make a component at the VOB root directory, that VOB can never contain more than that one component.
