Semantics of components.txt in RTC project template
![]()
Hello,
when exporting a RTC project template the resulting zip file contains some files. There is also a "components.txt" that in our case contains following content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><components> <component uri="com.ibm.team.workitem.linkClosure" version="1"/> <component uri="com.ibm.team.workitem.query" version="7"/> <component uri="com.ibm.team.dashboard" version="1.7"/> <component uri="com.ibm.team.enterprise.process" version="1"/> <component uri="com.ibm.team.workitem" version="11"/> </components> What is this about? Does it say anyhting about the RTC server version the template has been exported from? Thank you Kind regards, Marko |

Yes, my understanding is that this is where the version compatibility information is stored.
If any of your server process component versions do not match those in the components.txt file, then attempting to import that template into that server will fail with a "version mismatch" error. Marko Tomljenovic selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Could you please verify that this version information is also used to perform a compatibitily/validity check when doing a template import?

Yes, I have verified with the RTC process team that this answer is correct.
Fine. Thank you for that.

Yes, the version of a particular process component is incremented only if there has been an incompatible change in that process component (which is why the process components do not all have the same version number). And yes, you can therefore import a process template as long as the process component versions match those of the server you are importing into.
