Configuring a component
The Catalog page enables you to select a configurable component and modify the component in the
repository of the HP Version Control Repository Manager (VCRM). This process can be initiated to preconfigure

Catalog page, which takes you to the Setup page of the component. Clicking the Component is
Configured icon (green flag) enables you to reconfigure the component.
3. Select the component that you want to configure. Click Next or Cancel to abort the configuration
operation. The Setup page for the component that you select appears.
Note: Each configurable component has its own settings and configuration page. Follow the instructions
for data entry on the specific page that appears.
4. After entering all configuration data, click Save. Your changes are saved and you are returned to the
Catalog page. Click Cancel to abort the component configuration.
