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 for various types of users, as follows:
Type of User | Tasks |
Administrator | Manage user accounts, user groups, and roles. |
Enterprise architect or an analyst | Manage policies, generate reports, define new asset types, and monitor the performance of services in the run-time environment. |
Developer | Search the catalog for assets to use and to publish new assets. |
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.)
