Computed Attributes
In the CentraSite Eclipse GUI, the definition of a registry object is represented by attributes and profiles.
Attributes represent the individual Properties of Registry Objects, Classifications of Registry Objects, Associations Between Registry Objects and External Links that are defined for a registry object.
The object's type definition determines which attributes are visible in the CentraSite Eclipse GUI. For example, the asset type for a Service includes attributes that identify the name of the service, provide the service's endpoints, identify the owner of the service, supply links to programming documentation and so forth.
In CentraSite Eclipse GUI, attributes appear as properties:
All registry object types that represent assets include the following basic attributes:
Attribute
Description
Name
The name under which the asset is cataloged.
Description
A descriptive comment that provides additional information about an asset.
Key
The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) that is assigned to the asset and uniquely identifies it within the registry. CentraSite automatically assigns a UUID to an asset when the asset is added to the registry.
Version
The user-assigned version identifier for an asset. The user-assigned identifier can be made up of any sequence of characters. It is not required to be numeric.
System Version
The system-assigned version number that CentraSite maintains for its own internal use. CentraSite automatically assigns this identifier to an object when a version of the object is created. The system-assigned identifier is always numeric and always has the format:
MajorVersion.Revision
Where:
*MajorVersion is an integer that represents the asset's version number. This value is incremented by one when a new version of the asset is generated (e.g., 1.0, 2.0, 3.0).
*Revision is an integer that represents an update to a particular version of an asset. When the revisioning feature is enabled for CentraSite, the Revision number is incremented each time a change is made to the object (e.g., 1.0, 1.1, 1.2).
An asset's System Version attribute cannot be deleted or modified by a user.
Created
The date on which the asset was added to the catalog. CentraSite automatically sets this attribute when a user adds the asset to the catalog. Once it is set, it cannot be modified.
Last Modified
The date on which the catalog entry for the asset was last updated. CentraSite automatically updates this attribute when a user modifies any of the asset's attributes.
Submitting Organization
The organization to which the asset belongs.
Owner
The user who currently owns the asset. CentraSite automatically sets this attribute when a user adds the asset to the catalog.
Lifecycle State
The asset's current lifecycle state. If a lifecycle model has been associated with an asset type, CentraSite updates this attribute as the asset passes through its lifecycle.
