Understanding Asset Repositories
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, your version control system, and webMethods Asset Build Environment to build assets into composites. Asset Build Environment produces a flat file asset repository consisting of a directory of composites along with related files such as asset composite definition language (ACDL), ZIP, and jar files. You can point to the directory from Command Central, ZIP the directory and upload it to Command Central, or push the composites and related files to a Git repository on a machine accessible to Command Central and then connect Command Central to the Git repository.
