Component identifiers

The CDMT uses the following codes to identify elements of components:


vendorCode
A unique, trademarked string that identifies the vendor of the product; for example, The SCO Group.

componentCode
A string that identifies the component, unique within the vendor's namespace; for example, WServer.

versionCode
The version number of the component; for example, 3.2.5.

packageCode
A string that identifies the package within the component; for example, KSH.

componentID
A string that identifies the vendor, component, and version, in the format vendorCode:componentCode::version; for example, SCO:WServer::1.0.0.

packageName
A string that identifies the vendor, component, and package, in the format vendorCode:componentCode:packageCode; for example, SCO:unixos:KSH.

packageID
A string that identifies the vendor, component, package, and version, in the format vendorCode:componentCode:packageCode::Version; for example, SCO:unixos:KSH::3.2.5.


NOTE: Because vendorCode, componentCode, and version are elements of the path to the root of the component's SSO, shorter names will result in better symbolic link performance.
