It is quite common that a product is comprised of different components, and a component is used by different products. We suggest to set up builds for these components and products separately in this case, and utilize QuickBuild's dependency mechanism to use result of component builds in product builds. QuickBuild implements build dependency through a special repository type - QuickBuild Repository. Assume we have two configurations: root/product and root/component. Configuration root/product is created to build the product, and configuration root/component is created to build component. To use component artifacts, you will need to:

  1. Switch to repositories tab of root/product, and define a QuickBuild repository there retrieving desired files from desired build of root/component.
  2. Switch to steps tab of root/product, and add a checkout step into step execution graph to check out from the repository defined above.
