GUI Access to CentraSite
CentraSite includes these graphical user interfaces (GUIs):
CentraSite Control is a browser-based user interface that supplies access to all of
CentraSite's features. Administrators use
CentraSite Control to perform administrative activities such as managing organizations, users, groups and roles. Developers and analysts use
CentraSite Control to browse the asset catalog, publish assets into the SOA, define policies, deploy run-time policies and virtual services, generate reports and monitor the performance of services in the run-time environment.
The
Business User Interface is a browser-based interface that offers a business-level view of the
CentraSite registry. Business users use this interface to browse the asset catalog, publish assets into the SOA and generate reports.
The CentraSite Eclipse user interface is a plug-in for the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This interface enables developers to easily discover and publish assets directly from their Eclipse development environment. It also permits developers to use drag-and-drop techniques to incorporate assets from the
CentraSite registry into development projects in Eclipse. (Certain administrative operations can also be performed using the Eclipse plug-in.)
