Asset repositories contain composites. Each composite contains assets and metadata for one type of server (for example, webMethods Integration Server) that you deploy onto a runtime instance of that server type.

You use your continuous integration server and your version control system with webMethods Asset Build Environment to build assets into composites and to store those composites in an asset repository. Asset Build Environment produces a flat file asset repository, which consists of a directory of asset-related files such as asset composite definition language (ACDL), ZIP, and jar files. You can point to the directory from Command Central or ZIP the directory and upload it to Command Central. You can also push the flat file repository files to a Git repository on a machine accessible to Command Central and then connect Command Central to the Git repository.
