Merging Software Components with the Same Name​

To merge software components with the same name into a suite, you must first merge them together, then merge them into a suite. A new component suite cannot have the same name + vendor combination as an existing software component; it must have a unique name + vendor combination.

For example, if you had:

  1. A software component ABC, with the vendor Cisco.
  2. A software component ABC, with the vendor MS.
  3. A software component ABC-Suite, with the vendor None.

You could merge either 1. or 2. into 3. without problem. However, if you tried to merge 1. and 2. into 3., you would receive a validation error prompting you to merge 1. with 2. before trying to merge them into 3..
