You can publish information or metadata to a shared library or registry that resides in CentraSite. By publishing this metadata, you make these assets available to other CentraSite users. You can also retract published metadata from CentraSite.

The metadata that you can publish are about Integration Server assets, Integration Server administrative assets, and Trading Networks (TN) document types. Integration Server administrative assets include Adapter connections, Broker connections, and JMS connection aliases. For a complete list of assets that you can publish, see webMethods Service Development Help.

You can use Software AG Designer to select the assets for which you want to publish or retract metadata to or from CentraSite. Designer publishes metadata using the credentials defined in the CentraSite connection in Designer.

You can also use the pub.metadata.assets:publishPackages service in the WmAssetPublisher package to publish metadata for packages and administrative assets. You can create a scheduled task that uses this service to publish metadata regularly. The pub.metadata.assets:publishPackages service uses the CentraSite credentials defined in Integration Server to publish metadata.

For detailed instructions on publishing and retracting metadata, see webMethods Service Development Help. For information about administering the shared library in CentraSite, see the CentraSite documentation.
