The CentraSite Business User Interface (UI) allows you to quickly and simply access CentraSite's features geared towards occasional users and non technical user roles.
CentraSite is a registry for creating, searching, and publishing assets in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment. SOA is an approach to building business systems using reusable blocks of functionality known as services. Business analysts, enterprise architects and developers assemble services into higher level constructs such as business processes, composite applications and complex services.
CentraSite serves as the central catalog for the services, APIs and other computing assets of an organization, and provides the tools and infrastructure necessary to implement and manage SOA-based applications, from their design and implementation to their deployment and ongoing operation in the runtime environment.
The CentraSite Business UI offers business-level features such as the following:
Search or browse for assets in CentraSite.
Create assets in CentraSite.
Export assets from one CentraSite registry to another.
Monitor the lifecycle state of an asset.
Create reports about asset usage.
Navigate to frequently-used functions from your Welcome page.
Receive automatic notifications about changed assets.
View or respond to your most important notifications from the Inbox.
The Welcome page of the Business UI is configurable and you can set up views of your most frequently used functions and search queries, such as "My Favorite Assets", "Recently changed assets" etc.
