To define a configuration map lineup that contains platform-specific
required maps, you basically do the following:

If you initially develop applications for only one platform, you might
first group all of your applications and needed prerequisites into one
configuration. Then, after you make the applications usable on
different platforms, add the required maps and restructure your configuration
map.
Keep three things in mind when defining the configuration map
lineups:
- Try to include in the configuration map and the required maps only those
applications and prerequisites that team members likely do not already have in
their images.
- Try to add an application to only one configuration map. Why? If
several editions of an application exist in several maps, then loading one of
those maps might add an edition of the application that is incompatible with
other applications in the image. To reduce the number of times that an
application is added to a configuration map, you might place applications that
commonly serve as prerequisites into separate configuration maps. Then,
add those configuration maps as required maps.
- Specify Boolean expressions for lineups only when your applications are
platform-specific. You can specify expressions that test for any number
of conditions. But, when you do so, you make it harder to maintain your
configuration map lineups.
When you define a configuration map lineup, you basically release one
configuration map (the required map) to another configuration map. To
release a configuration map as a required map, the following conditions must
exist:
- The configuration map that will contain the required map must be an
edition.
- You must be the manager of the configuration map that will contain the
required map.
The configuration map that you want to release can be an edition or a
version. The method you should use to release it depends on whether you
want to:
- Add a released map to a configuration map
- Replace the required map currently released to the containing
configuration map with a different edition or version of the required map or
with a different configuration map
Provided these conditions exist, you can create a required map by
completing steps illustrated in the following example.
