Install Components

A Component contains all the resources required to work on a given technology.

Some components are already installed by default in Semarchy xDI Designer but some ther components must be installed afterwards.

Components contain resources such as:

  • Technology definitions

  • Metadata definitions

  • Templates

  • Modules

  • Sample projects

For more details and the full list of components, refer to the components documentation.

Certain components require a specific license. A component not included in your license can be installed, but will not be available in Semarchy xDI Designer.

You can review the components installed in Designer from the About dialog, by clicking the Installation Details button.

From that dialog, you can also selectively uninstall Components.
