A Blueprint is the abstract or metadata definition of a software component. Blueprints contain directives describing how to locate an installed component instance and how to account for and understand all of the component's elements. These elements include the installed file system, registry variables, data in databases, and other runtime assets. Once located, Blueprints apply notes and rules to each element enabling even deeper understanding of their function and constraints.
CA provides a library of predefined Blueprints covering most common software components (such as web servers, operating systems, and databases). The predefined Blueprints appear in the Blueprints table and are identified as being created by the internal user system_user. You can also create your own custom Blueprints. Custom Blueprints are identified as being created by the user name of the person who creates them.
