Creating and Using a Subproduct
Using subproducts provides a way for you to organize filesets into
different groupings beyond that provided within a product. A subproduct
is a reference to groups of logically related filesets. For example, you
might create a subproduct that references a fileset grouping for the
entire runtime configuration. It is important to remember that
subproducts only reference filesets and do not physically contain
them.
Specifying a subproduct lets you group filesets within a larger product
specification. Attribute values are used to define the subproduct. If a
subproduct is specified, the subproduct attributes, tag and contents are
required for a valid PSF.
To create a subproduct
Step 1. Select the appropriate product element in the Package Structure that
contains filesets.
Step 2. From the main menu, select Structure > Add Element(s) >
Subproduct.
Step 3. Enter a subproduct name.
Step 4. Select the appropriate filesets to add to the subproduct.
Step 5. Click Add.
Step 6. Continue this process until all subproduct content has been added.
Step 7. To save and exit, click OK once all contents have been added.
