What are the precautions to be taken while creatin

问题:

I am trying to create components in a vob for the upcoming project.

What are the common mistakes people make while creating those components?

Do I have to select a view and the root directory to make a component?
I think the root directory will be same as the pvob. Can I select any view here?

回答1:

• Vob component vs. root-based component: declaring a all vob as one component doesn't scale well when you have many component to declare (each vob component would involve its own vob_server process, which consumes resources on the server).
  It is better to use a generic-named vob in order to declare in its (direct) sub-directory components.

• The name of the root directory of the component cannot be changed once the component is created: better make it right the first time

• The component need to be created in the first directory level of a Vob:
  myVob/myComponent1,
  myVob/myComponent2, ...
  So the naming convention should reflect that.
  You cannot declare components within a directory like: myVob/Apache/Cmp1. You might want to name it myVob/Apache_Cmp1.

• "root directory will be same as the pvob": no: you should keep the pvob separate from the vob.

  • The vob contains data (files and directory, like the root directory of your component).
  • The pvob contains metadata, like the UCM names (of your UCM projects, Streams, Components, Activities, ...)
