Use this page to view, edit, and create new set of directives that will facilitate staging and installation of components in an image.
Directives are instructions or a set of commands that perform specific tasks. These directives, when created, will be uploaded to the Software library. At the time of component creation, you will choose from one of these directives that you create here and apply them as per the requirement.
These directives (or scripts) are referenced as component directives, and the provisioning process will invoke these scripts at the appropriate time.
Though the scripts are configured when you are creating the directives, you can re-configure them at the time to component creation.
Software versions indicate the specific release of a product, a release modified by a patch, and/or a software bundle released or packaged by the vendor.
The Oracle Software Library maintains these software components.
You can view a list of existing directives based on different versions of the directives (such as Latest Version, Latest Active Version, Latest Mature Version, All Inactive Versions, and All Mature Versions).
The following values in the dropdown list help perform a search based on a combination of values.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Latest Version | Search for latest version of all available components. This will retrieve the current version of all directives, irrespective of their status (that is active, or inactive). |
| Latest Active Version | This search is a combination of version and status. This will retrieve the current version of all directives that are in the active state only. |
| Latest Mature Version | This search is a combination of version, maturity value, and status. It will retrieve the current version of all directives that are in the active state, and have the highest maturity value (production.) |
| All Mature Versions | This search is a combination of maturity values and status. It will retrieve directives of all versions that are active, and have the highest maturity value (production.) |
| All Inactive Versions | This search will retrieve directives of all versions that are inactive only. |
In the View dropdown list, select the required value to view a list of the selected version of the directives.
You can also perform a search for the required directives by clicking Advanced Search.
