Predefined Lifecycle Models
CentraSite installs a number of predefined lifecycle models that you can use to classify and govern assets.
These include:
Model Name | Applies to | Active upon Installation of CentraSite? | Customizable? |
BPM Process Lifecycle | Process objects | No | Yes |
Lifecycle Model for Lifecycles | Lifecycle Models objects | Yes | In limited ways. |
Policy Lifecycle | Policy objects (Both design/change-time policies and run-time policies) | Yes | In limited ways. |
Service Lifecycle | Service assets | No | Yes |
CentraSite uses some of these lifecycles to govern particular types of registry objects (Policy objects, for example). These lifecycle models have system policies associated with them. You can customize these lifecycle models in only limited ways. These lifecycle models are already active when CentraSite is installed.
Other lifecycle models are treated as user-defined lifecycle models. These lifecycle models are provided to you as a convenience. You can use them instead of creating your own models from scratch. You may customize these lifecycle models as required. These lifecycle models are not active when you install CentraSite. If you want to use them, you must activate them.
