Product information
This topic describes the structure of a product XML file.
When you create a product, you specify the following fields:
- Product name
- Product description
Note: Some of the fields must not be modified manually (such as the releases that a
product contains), otherwise the Content Store will be corrupted. Please contact
IXIASOFT before modifying the product file manually. |
By default, IXIA CCMS checks that product names are unique within a deployment, but you can configure it so that other fields in the .product file are unique as well. See the Administration Guide for IXIA CCMS for the procedure.
