Supporting Documents and Resources
The repository is a WebDAV-enabled file store. It holds resources related to objects stored in the CentraSite registry. These include:
*Files representing supporting documents that contain useful information about assets, such as technical specifications, sample code or programming guides.
*Asset files such as the WSDL files of services or XPDL and schema definition files.
*Files produced or consumed by CentraSite such as policy descriptions, lifecycle models or reports.
*Folders for organizing the files.
The supporting documents are organized in the Supporting Documents Library in the CentraSite repository. Each organization in CentraSite is assigned a subfolder in this library where its supporting documents are located.
The files representing other resources are organized in folders outside the Supporting Documents Library.
By default, a CentraSite user can access the documents in the Supporting Documents Library of the organization to which he/she is assigned. A CentraSite Administrator can access the overall folder structure of the CentraSite repository.
The folders and files held in the repository can be linked to objects stored in the registry. Some features of CentraSite, such as the importing of a Web service, create entries in the repository as well as corresponding objects in the registry.
You can browse and manipulate the folders and files of the repository in the Repository Explorer view and in the Documents view. You can create new folders and files and delete existing ones at any time.
The files stored in the CentraSite repository are versionable. A new version of a file is created each time changes to it are uploaded to the repository or when its properties are changed. You can list all the versions of a file on the Versions tab in the Details Editor and display the contents of each version in read-only mode in an Eclipse Workbench editor.
