Graphical User Interfaces to CentraSite
You can use the following graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to interact with CentraSite:
CentraSite Business UI
CentraSite Business UI is a browser-based interface that offers a business-level view of the CentraSite registry. Business users use this interface to browse the asset catalog, publish assets to SOA, and generate reports.
You can start CentraSite Business UI from the Windows Start menu on the machine where Software AG Runtime is installed, or you can open a browser and enter this URL:
http://Software AG Runtime_server:Software AG Runtime_port/BusinessUI
The default user ID and password are Administrator and manage, respectively. Administrator has the CentraSite Administrator role.
You can access CentraSite Business UI as follows:
*Log on as the internal user Administrator. Provide the default user ID Administrator and password manage in the logon screen and then click Log In.
*Log on as a user who has been registered as a CentraSite user. Provide your user ID and password in the logon screen and then click Log In.
*Browse CentraSite Business UI as a guest user who can only see assets whose view permissions include the Everyone group. On the logon screen, click Access as Guest without supplying a user name or password.
To log off CentraSite Business UI, click the Log Out link at the top of the screen. If you do not explicitly log out, your session automatically times out after 30 minutes of inactivity. Software AG recommends explicitly logging off to make sure the cookies from your session are cleared from your machine and not reused if you log back on to CentraSite Business UI before your earlier session's timeout period elapses.

CentraSite Eclipse UI
The CentraSite Eclipse user interface is a plug-in for the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This interface enables developers to easily discover and publish assets directly from their Eclipse development environment. It also permits developers to use drag-and-drop techniques to incorporate assets from the CentraSite registry into development projects in Eclipse. (Certain administrative operations can also be performed using the Eclipse plug-in.)
