Presto and MashZone Repositories
The Presto Repository is the database that the Presto Server uses to store meta-data, attributes and configuration for Presto including:
Artifacts (mashable information sources, mashups, and apps)
Macros
Taxonomies such as categories, tags and providers
Presto attributes (global, user and custom for artifacts)
Configuration properties for the
Presto ServerSnapshots taken of mashable or mashup results.
If you are using the default User Repository, user and group data is also stored in the Presto Repository.
Important: | The Presto Repository and MashZone Repository are initially installed in a Derby database suitable only for trialpurposes. For proof-of-concept, development or production uses, move both these repositories to a robust and compatible solution. |
Similarly, the MashZone Repository holds meta-data for the MashZone feeds and connections supported by the Integrated MashZone Server for Presto.
Configuration and administration tasks for these two repositories include:
Maintenance Suggestions
Your existing standards for database backups, security and maintenance can be applied to the Presto and MashZone Repositories. In addition, you should set up procedures to monitor or regularly manage growth for the Presto Auditable Events table. This table tracks audit information for updates to the Presto Repository.
You may also want to move snapshot data to a separate database to more easily manage growth and other operations for these datasets.
