First build questions -- Working with "tools"
CLM 4.0.5
All, if I have 5 pieces of the build, and 3 of them are tools/pieces that are rarely built, should I create separate streams/components for these and only add them to the main stream when going to QA? Or should I configure a workspace and use the "Components to exclude" checkbox
Any thoughts?

One answer
It's not clear from your question if all 5 pieces are part of your "release" or not.
Each piece should definitely have it's own component. If certain pieces have their own release cycle, independent of the other pieces, then it makes sense for those pieces to have their own stream.
If there's nothing independently release-able, then my thoughts shift to how long does it take to build this stuff. You mentioned that 3 pieces don't change that often...do they take long to build? If not, then in my mind it's easier just to build them all the time rather than work out some complex scheme were you only try to build them some of the time.

That is sort of what I was asking, devs are working on the main 2 sections and the other 3 are rarely changed, They currently do a complete delete and rebuild everything. I was looking to maybe break this up.
