Generic Profiles
In addition to the profiles that you define, CentraSite provides several predefined profiles, called generic profiles, which you can optionally include in an asset type.
The generic profiles contain system-defined attributes and controls. The information on the generic profiles is generated by CentraSite. You cannot customize the content of the generic profiles or add attributes to them. You can, however, select which of these profiles you want CentraSite to include with an asset type.
Generic Profile
Description
General
Displays the asset's generic information. This profile contains the general attributes that are common to all registry objects (Name, Description, Organization etc).
Summary
Available only for Service, XML Schema, and Application Server asset types. Provides basic information about a Service, XML Schema or Application Server. For a service asset, this profile includes a list of the operations and bindings that the service provides.
Notifications
Displays the list of users who are registered to receive notifications when changes are made to the asset.
Classification
Displays the list of categories by which an asset is classified. This profile also contains controls for adding ad hoc classifiers to an asset.
Associations
Displays the list of objects to which the asset is related. This profile also contains controls for establishing "ad hoc" relationships between an asset and other objects in the registry.
Permissions
Displays the asset's instance-level permissions. This profile also contains controls for modifying the asset's instance-level permissions.
To view all of the instance-level permissions for an asset, a user must have Modify or Full permissions on the asset. To edit the instance-level permissions for an asset, a user must have Full permissions on the asset. If a user has only View permission on an asset, the Permissions profile shows only that particular user's permissions for the asset.
Note:
The Permissions profile is enabled for all asset types. You cannot disable this profile at the type level. To restrict access to this profile, use instance-level permissions.
Versions
Displays the versioning history for an asset and provides links to earlier versions and revisions of the asset. This profile also contains the controls for generating a new version of the asset, purging older versions of the asset and reverting to a previous version of an asset.
External Links
Displays the list of links to external documents and files that are attached to the asset. This profile also contains controls for attaching documents and files to an asset.
Object-Specific Properties
Displays the list of object-specific properties that have been assigned to an asset. An object-specific property consists of a key, which identifies the name of the property, and an optional String value, which contains the data associated with the property. (A property's value can be null.)
Object-specific properties are used to hold information about an instance of an asset when there is no predefined attribute to hold that data. Typically, they are used in one-off situations to attach ad-hoc data to an instance of an asset. For example, if you were managing a certification effort, you might use an object-specific property to identify the set of assets that required certification.
Note:
The Object-Specific Properties profile is enabled for all asset types. You cannot disable this profile at the type level. To restrict access to this profile, use instance-level permissions.
Audit Log
Displays the update activity associated with an asset. This profile lists each change that has been made to an asset and identifies the user that made the change.
Subscriptions
Displays the list of users who are registered to receive notifications when changes are made to the asset.
Policies
Displays the list of design/change-time policies and run-time policies that are applicable to an asset (i.e., it displays all the policies whose scope encompasses the displayed asset).
Note:
The Policies profile is displayed for virtualized services regardless of whether you enable or disable it for the Service asset type. In other words, when you disable the Policies profile for the Service asset type, the CentraSite Eclipse GUI removes the profile from service assets, but continues to display it for virtualized services.
Performance
Displays the run-time performance metrics associated with an asset. If you are using webMethods Mediator, webMethods Insight or another run-time monitoring component to log performance metrics for an asset, CentraSite displays those metrics on this profile.
Note:
The Performance profile is displayed for virtual services regardless of whether you enable or disable it for the Service asset type. In other words, when you disable the Performance profile for the Service asset type, CentraSite Eclipse GUI removes the profile from service assets, but continues to display it for virtual services.
