Detailed Description

<class>Component</class> is a superclass of all types of components discoverable in an inventory scan.

A component represents a named object in a system installation such as a file, database or routine.

Components maintain a relationship with an optional parent component and any sub-components. For example, files are subcomponents of directories.

Component data is stored in the SYS database, and may be exported into an XML representation.
