Understanding and Creating Directives › Parameter Directives

Parameter Directives

Parameter-related value directives are initiated in the Component Blueprint by selecting the Parameters, Directives element and clicking Add Directive. Existing parameter directives are viewed and edited from the Parameter tree that appears when you select a parameter directive element.

The fields displayed vary by the Directive Type selected.

Examples:

• The WIN32 v*.* Component Blueprint defines a Constant parameter directive that exposes the product name and associated Service Pack version in the parameters of a discovered Windows operating system component in a service.
• The same WIN32 v*.* Component Blueprint defines a Constant parameter directive that exposes the Vendor in the parameters of a discovered Windows operating system component in a service.
