<ebom> Element
The ebom element is an optional child of an sBOM <instance> element. If present, it specifies which eBOM part the sBOM instance is linked to. For example, it provides base attribute and visual settings.
An <instance> can contain one child ebom element or none. If it contains one, the sBOM instance is linked to a part in the eBOM specified by the ebom element. If it contains none, the sBOM instance is not linked to a part in the eBOM. It represents a service-only part that only exists in the sBOM.
<ebom> Syntax
<ebom copyasm="" pvcidpath="">
<refpart name="" category=""></refpart>
</ebom>
<ebom> Attributes
copyasm
Boolean value (default=false). If true, the referenced eBOM item and all of its children are copied to the sBOM. This creates a structure in the sBOM that is identical to the referenced eBOM structure.
pvcidpath
(Optional) specifies the internal ID path to an eBOM item in the eBOM structure so it can be referenced in the sBOM. If pvcidpath is specified, a child refpart element is not required.
