This CSD file is delivered in an XML format. A sample CSD file is provided with the product. A component identifies itself to PassPort via values for four properties: component name, component version, component group and instance. PassPort knows three of these values (name, version, group) when it imports the CSD file. Upon importing the file, PassPort assigns an instance value of default. It is important to note that all four values must match on the PassPort and the Transfer CFT side. If not, your Transfer CFT cannot communicate with PassPort.
