CentraSite Documentation : CentraSite Administrator’s Guide : Object Type Management : Basic Components of a Type : Profiles : Generic Profiles
Generic Profiles
In addition to the profiles that you define, CentraSite provides several predefined profiles, called generic profiles, which you can optionally include in an asset type.
The generic profiles contain system-defined attributes and controls. The information on the generic profiles is generated by CentraSite. You cannot customize the content of the generic profiles or add attributes to them. You can, however, select which of these profiles you want CentraSite to include with an asset type.
The following table describes the generic profiles that are available in each CentraSite graphical user interface.

Summary
Applicable for Service, XML Schema, Application Server, BPEL Process, Interface and Operation asset types. For a Service type of asset, this shows a list of the operations and bindings that the asset provides. For a BPEL Process, Interface, or Operation type of asset, this shows the basic information such as the asset owner, but includes no type-specific attributes.
Basic Information
This shows the general information about the asset, such as the asset's version, last modified date, asset type, owning organization, owning user, a description of the asset, and the number of watchers and consumers.
Consumers
This shows the list of users, applications, and arbitrary assets that are registered to consume the asset.
Advanced Information
This shows additional information about the asset. The profile functions as a high-level container for a set of profiles defined in the asset's type definition. Beginning with CentraSite 9.8, the Advanced Information profile will not be visible in the user interface.
Permissions
This shows the asset's instance-level permissions. The profile displays the controls for modifying the asset's instance-level permissions.
To view all of the instance-level permissions for an asset, a user must have Modify or Full permissions on the asset. To edit the instance-level permissions for an asset, a user must have Full permissions on the asset. If a user has only View permission on an asset, the Permissions profile includes only that particular user's permissions for the asset.
Versions
This shows the versioning history for the asset and provides links to earlier versions and revisions of the asset. The profile displays the controls for generating a new version of the asset, purging older versions of the asset and reverting to a previous version of an asset.
Subscriptions
This shows the list of users that are registered to receive notifications when changes are made to the asset.
Audit Log
This shows the update activity associated with the asset. The profile displays each change that has been made to an asset (including changes in an asset's lifecycle state) and identifies the user that made the change.
Object-Specific Properties
This shows the list of object-specific properties assigned to the asset. An object-specific property includes a key that identifies the name of the property and an optional String value, that contains the data associated with the property. (A property's value can be null.)
Object-specific properties are used to hold information about an instance of asset when there is no predefined attribute to hold that data. Typically, they are used in one-off situations to attach ad-hoc data to an instance of an asset. For example, if you were managing a certification effort, you might use an object-specific property to identify the set of assets that required certification.
Identification
Applicable only for Application type
This shows the list of consume identifier tokens for a virtual API.
For a list of the supported consumer identifier tokens, see Run-Time Governance with CentraSite.
API Key Identification
Applicable only for API Key type
This profile shows a list of the available access keys for an API. This profile displays the API key string and its expiration date.
Note:  
CentraSite displays the API Key Identification profile in an instance of virtual API, ONLY if this profile is included in the API Key type definition.
OAuth2 Identification Details
Applicable only for OAuth2 Client type
This profile shows the OAuth2 client credentials (Client Id, Client Secret, Client Name, Scope, and Refresh Token) for a virtual API.
Note:  
CentraSite displays the OAuth Identification profile in an instance of virtual API, ONLY if this profile is included in the OAuth2 Client type definition.
Specification
This shows the list of external documents such as Functional Requirements, Error Messages, Release Notes and so forth that are attached to the asset.
Classifications
This shows the list of categories that are used to classify the asset. The profile displays controls for adding ad hoc classifiers to the asset.
Associations
This shows the list of objects that are related to the asset. The profile displays controls for establishing "ad hoc" relationships between an asset and other registry objects.
External Links
This shows the list of links to external documents and files that are attached to the asset. The profile displays controls for attaching documents and files to an asset.
Policies
This shows the list of design/change-time policies and run-time policies that are applicable to the asset (that is, it includes all the policies whose scope encompasses the displayed asset).
Note:  
When you disable the Policies profile in Service asset type definition, CentraSite removes the profile from instances of the type Service, but continues to display the profile in instances of the type Virtual Service.
Performance
This shows the run-time performance metrics captured for the asset. If you are using webMethods Mediator, webMethods Insight, or another run-time monitoring component to log performance metrics for an asset, CentraSite includes those metrics on this profile.
Note:  
When you disable the Perfornance profile in Service asset type definition, CentraSite removes the profile from instances of the type Service, but continues to display the profile in instances of the type Virtual Service.
Events
This shows the run-time events associated with an asset. If you are using webMethods Mediator, webMethods Insight, or another run-time monitoring component to log run-time events for an asset, CentraSite displays those events on this profile.
Note:  
When you disable the Events profile in Service asset type definition, CentraSite removes the profile from instances of the type Service, but continues to display the profile in instances of the type Virtual Service.
Members
Applicable for Package and IS Package types. This shows the list of objects to which the asset is related. The profile displays controls for establishing "ad hoc" relationships between an asset and other objects (for example, assets, users or organizations) in the registry.
Processing Steps
Applicable for Virtual Service, Virtual XML Service, and Virtual REST Service types.
For a Virtual Service, this shows the protocol (HTTP, HTTPS or JMS) and SOAP format (1.1 or 1.2) of the requests that the service will accept.
For a Virtual REST Service or Virtual XML Service, this shows the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) of the requests that the service will accept. Also, you specify the HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE or Use Context Variable) that are supported by the native service.
The profile displays the request routing methods and protocol for authenticating the requests.
Deployment
Applicable for Virtual Service, Virtual XML Service and Virtual REST Service types. Shows the list of virtual services that are ready for deploying in the webMethods Mediator gateway.
Run-Time Metrics
This shows the run-time performance metrics that are available for the asset. If you are using webMethods Mediator, webMethods Insight, or another run-time monitoring component to log performance metrics for an asset, CentraSite includes those metrics on this profile.
Note:  
When you disable the Run-Time Metrics profile in Service asset type definition, CentraSite removes the profile from instances of the type Service, but continues to display the profile in instances of the type Virtual Service.
Run-Time Events
This shows the run-time events that are available with an asset. If you are using webMethods Mediator, webMethods Insight, or another run-time monitoring component to log run-time events for an asset, CentraSite displays those events on this profile.
Note:  
When you disable the Run-Time Events profile in Service type definition, CentraSite removes the profile from instances of the type Service, but continues to display the profile in instances of the type Virtual Service.
API-Portal Information
This shows the maturity status, grouping, subscription terms , and the access token types for the API. This profile displays the icon shown in API-Portal to represent the API.
API Key Scope
Applicable for API Key and virtual types.
This shows the name of the native API associated to the API key. To view details of the native API, click the hyperlinked name.
Note:  
CentraSite displays the API Key Scope profile in an instance of virtual API, ONLY if the profile is included in the API Key type definition.
ARIS Properties
Applicable for Process type.
Displays the ARIS-specific attributes that are of use when CentraSite is integrated with the ARIS products.
