How to Edit the Attributes of an Asset
Use the following procedure to edit the attributes of an asset.
To edit the attributes of an asset
1. In CentraSite Business UI, display the details page of the asset that you want to edit. If you need procedures for this step, see Displaying Details of an Asset. 2. In the actions bar for the asset, click Edit.
3. To edit an asset's Basic Information profile that includes the generic attributes, namely: Name, Description, Organization, or Owner, place the cursor in the appropriate field and modify the text as required.
4. To modify an asset detail that includes extended attributes associated with the asset, do the following:
a. Select the profile that contains the attributes that you want to modify.
CentraSite will display the attributes for the selected asset. If you have Modify permission on the asset, you can edit the asset's attributes.
b. Edit the attributes on the profile as necessary.
Editing an Asset File:
Certain assets contain one or more associated files. For example, the web service includes a WSDL file and the XML service includes a schema file. You can upload a new file or update an existing file for the asset accordingly.
For an instance of a web service or abstract service only:
Attach the WSDL file to the catalog entry using the Attach icon in the asset's actions menu.
If you are attaching a WSDL file to a service which already has a WSDL, the service name in the new WSDL must be identical to the service name in the existing one or the process will fail.
If you select the option Resolution and the attached WSDL contains an Import or Include reference to a WSDL or schema that already exists in the registry, the dialog allows you to choose whether to retain the existing WSDL or schema, or to replace the existing WSDL or schema by a uploading a new one. If you choose to use upload a new WSDL or schema, you can specify whether the new WSDL or schema should overwrite the existing one, or whether a new version of the WSDL or schema should be created.
If you select the option Resolution, and the attached WSDL contains an Import or Include reference to a WSDL or schema that does not already exist in the registry, the dialog allows you to upload the WSDL or schema.
For an instance of an XML Schema only:
Attach the schema file to the catalog entry using the
Attach button in the asset's
Technical Details profile. For additional information about attaching a schema file to an XML schema catalog entry, see
Attaching a Document to an Asset.
For an instance of an XML service or REST service only:
Attach the schema file to the catalog entry using the Add (resource) button in the asset's Technical Details profile. For additional information about attaching a schema file to an XML service or REST service, see the CentraSite User’s Guide.
Editing a Service Endpoint:
Assets such as the REST services and webMethods IS REST services can contain one or more service endpoints. You can specify multiple endpoints or modify existing endpoints as required.
c. Repeat steps 4.a and 4.b for each profile that you want to edit.
Note: | If at any time you want to abandon all your changes, click Close. CentraSite will ask you if you want to save your edits. Click No to abandon your edits and return the asset's attributes to their previous settings. |
5. When you have finished making your edits, click Save.
6. When you are prompted to confirm the save operation, click Yes.
Note: | An attribute can be a required attribute (that is, you must supply a value for it) and have a default value. If you do not supply a value for an attribute that is required and has a default value, the default value is automatically assigned to this attribute. |
