Component Resolution

Multiple ways to specify component IDs

In addition to specifying a /ComponentId as an explicit argument there are additional ways how to feed a command with components:

Before the command starts executing, a so called component resolution takes places, to resolve all those component ids which will be used for the current action.

The simplest way to provide a component id is to specify it explicitly as an argument. In addition, you can specify a /QueryFilter or /ComponentsSet as the source for components. Last but not least you can refer to a /Folder in your repository or you specify a /PackageVersion . In any case, components are resolved from all provided sources you specify and the command runs with the resolved list of all these components.

If you use multiple parameters, like /ComponentId and /QueryFilter, the command will use the aggregate of all references components (additive).
