Registering an Existing Component

In the TIBCO Developer Hub, you can register entities like templates, import flows, APIs, components, resources, locations, and more, to the TIBCO Software Catalog. Even if a company is not managing the software (for example, SaaS offerings), they can still create components for tracking ownership.

Register a new component

There are two ways to register a component. To register your component, follow any of one of these procedures.

Link to an Existing Entity File

    Procedure
  1. Navigate to Develop and click Register Existing Component.

  2. Enter the complete URL path to your entity file to start tracking your component, and click Analyze.

    The registering wizard analyzes the file, previews the entities, and adds them to the TIBCO Software catalog.

Link to a Source Repository

    Procedure

  1. Navigate to Develop and click Register Existing Component.

  2. The registering wizard discovers all catalog-info.yaml files in the repository, previews the entities, and adds them to the TIBCO Developer Hub catalog. If no entities are available, the registering wizard creates a pull request. It adds an example catalog-info.yaml and prepares the TIBCO Developer Hub catalog to load all entities once merging the pull request.

    Note: It is possible to name a catalog-info.yaml file however you want, but prefer to name it as catalog-info.yaml.

  3. Enter the name of the create component and select the entity owner. Click the Use CODEOWNERS File as the Entity Owner checkbox.

  4. Preview the pull request and entities and click Create PR.

  5. Review all the details and finish registering.

What to do nextAfter registering, see these below topics to view and manage the entities in the catalog.
