Versioned Custom Software Sources
A versioned custom software source is a custom software source specific to lifecycle environments.
A versioned custom software source has several distinct attributes:
- Version designator: When creating a versioned source, you assign a version to the software source.
- Specific package content: During creation, you use filters or a package list to limit the content. A versioned custom software source should only include the packages and modules you want to install on target instances. When creating a versioned custom software source with filters, the latest-only option is required.
- Immutable: After creating the source, you can't change the packages and modules in the software source, or its version.
Important
Take care when selecting the packages and modules in the versioned custom software source. When promoted to a lifecycle stage, the service installs all content in the source to the target instances.
