Editing an origin or origin ID

You can select a different origin or origin ID shown for a Linux distribution and used in a project version's BOM.

To select a different origin or origin ID:

  1. Log in to Black Duck.

  2. Select the project name using the Watching or My Projects dashboard. The Project Name page appears.

  3. Select the version name to display the Components tab and view the BOM.
    BOM page

  4. In the component list view of the BOM, click and select Edit to open the Edit component dialog box.

  5. If the component you selected does not have a distribution, the Origin ID lists do not appear. If necessary, select a different component and version to display the Origin ID lists.

  6. Select the name of the distribution and then the version from the Origin ID lists.

    Tip: You can edit the matched component and version, license, and usage at the same time as you change the origin and origin ID.

  7. Optionally, enter a purpose for this adjustment and/or select the Modification checkbox and enter information regarding this modification in the field.

  8. Click Save.

    The origin and/or origin ID is updated. If the new values carry a different type of risk than the previous one, the security risk calculations for the OSS component and for the project version are updated.
