Moving an object within a BLPackage

Using the BLPackage editor, you can move an object within a package.

You cannot move an object to a higher level in the hierarchy, in effect changing the parent of that object.

Special considerations for ordering COM+ objects

When creating a BLPackage that contains COM+ objects, there may be special considerations for ordering items in the package.

COM+ objects often contain items identified as Components/name (where name is a variable). Often these components also contain collections called Components/name/InterfacesForComponents.

When creating a BLPackage, you should order items in the package so that each Components/name item precedes any Components/name/InterfacesForComponents items. To help you resolve problems in the hierarchy of COM+ objects, you can right-click the root component asset that contains COM+ objects and select Resolve COM+ Hierarchy. This sorts all COM+ assets in parent-first order, with their child assets in alphabetical order. However, note that BMC Server Automation has a limited understanding of the hierarchy within a COM+ object. Therefore, ensure that you still review the order of the COM+ objects and adjust them as necessary to enable a successful deployment of the BLPackage.

To move an object within a BLPackage

  1. In the hierarchy view, select the object you want to move.
  2. Right-click and select any of the following from the pop-up menu:
    • Move Up — The selected object moves above the preceding sibling in the hierarchy.
    • Move Down — The selected object moves below the nearest succeeding sibling in the hierarchy.
    • Move to Top — The selected object moves to the top of the hierarchy.
    • Move to Bottom — The selected object moves to the bottom of the hierarchy.
