Add extensions [Settings]

View read-only information about a composite bundle in the internal bundle repository that is currently available to be added as an extension to a composition unit.

After you import the enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file for your OSGi application as an asset, you can update versions of existing bundles but you cannot add extra bundles to the asset. However, after you have added the asset as a composition unit to a business-level application, you can extend the business-level application by adding one or more composite bundles to the composition unit.

To view this panel in the administrative console, click the following path:

Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > composition_unit_name > [Additional Properties] Manage extensions for this composition unit > Add > cba_name
