Defining SC dependencies in SLD doesn't work!

Question

Hello,
we are using NWDI 2004. i created a new product and a new SC. So far, so good. but creating dependencies in build time for developing SC in SLD  doesn't work.
I get the following mesage after creating the dependency:
Created prerequisites to SANDBOXSC, 1.0 of xxx at BuildTime  (Details)
but after refreshing there are no defined dependencies to find in usage dependencies list.
unfortunately i cant find any log entry to analyze the problem.
by deleting a defined dependency from usage dependency list is the same. i get a corresponding message but after refreshing the the entry is still in usage dependency list.
i tried to define dependencies manually im CMS Web UI using Required Software Components and   get the following message:
After adding a required SC manually, you must edit its dependencies in the CBS Build Compartment XML
accordingly i change the XML of CBS Build Compartment using  "Check and Edit XML of CBS Build Compartment" in CMS Web UI.
<dependencies>
<used-compartment>sap.com_SAP_JTECHS_1</used-compartment>
<used-compartment>sap.com_SAP-JEE_1</used-compartment>
<used-compartment>sap.com_SAP_BUILDT_1</used-compartment>
</dependencies>
<build-variants>
<build-variant name="default" required-for-activation="yes">
<variant-mappings>
<variant-mapping used-compartment="sap.com_SAP_JTECHS_1" used-variant-name="default"/>
<variant-mapping used-compartment="sap.com_SAP-JEE_1" used-variant-name="default"/>
<variant-mapping used-compartment="sap.com_SAP_BUILDT_1" used-variant-name="default"/>
</variant-mappings>
</build-variant>
</build-variants>
but after saving and restoring the track data the manually changed data were delated.  I suppose because of sync with SLD.
any idea what is the reason for this and how to solve it?
kind regards
rouzbeh

Hi Ravi,
If you want to create DC there is no need to create software component and product , DC itself is a indepenedent container. DC is used to share different DC's
example:
dc1 -> go to your componect -> click add to public part (by addition your dc to public part it becomes available)
dc2-> dcmetadata -> used dc's ->right click -> add used dc's
in dc2 you will get all reference to all the compoenent for which u have done public part
Hope it is becomes clear to you now.
