Dependency Types of Development Components

There are several ways of using other DCs. For an explanation, refer to the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio under Dependency Types:

·        Design Time (needed for special editors only)

This dependency between components can be used by special tools. Currently, this option is not used.

·        Build Time (needed for compilation)

This dependency specifies that a component is used during compilation or when wrapping another component.

·        Deploy Time (refuses deployment if dependants are missing)

This dependency specifies that a used component must already exist in the runtime system to allow the using component to be deployed.

·        Run Time (if one deployable uses another one)

This dependency specifies that a component requires another component at runtime.

You can combine any of these uses.
