Before You Begin
Before you begin to view the details of an asset, keep in mind the following points:
CentraSite renders the
Basic Information profile by default.
Profile selected for rendering displays highlighted in the navigation panel with an active
icon. Also, if the profile has one or more required attributes with an empty value, then
CentraSite displays an invalid
icon in edit mode.
Profiles that have no data are displayed in gray in the navigation panel when you are in view mode. These profiles become active in edit mode.
Attributes that only have a value are displayed in the content panel when you are in view mode.
CentraSite maintains all of the attributes associated with a profile in edit mode, irrespective of their values.
When displaying the list of profiles in the navigation panel, if the character length for any single profile name exceeds the limit set by the
navigationPanelMaxCharLength value, then that profile name gets truncated. If you have a profile name which displays truncated, move the cursor over the profile to view its fully qualified name as defined in the type definition.
You can view a tooltip text for any attribute in a profile of the asset's details page by moving the cursor over the attribute. The tooltip text gives a summary of the attribute's purpose. The tooltip text shown is the content of the attribute's Description field, and is as defined for the asset in the asset type definition.
The action bar displays a list of actions (operations) that you can perform on the individual asset. The list of actions that you will see for an asset depends on your current configuration settings and the type of asset instance.
You will only see profiles for which you have View permission.
This is of specific relevance to REST and XML based service assets. Beginning with version 9.7,
CentraSite supports the enhanced interface for REST services (in contrast, earlier versions of
CentraSite supported a standardized interface for REST services). Documentation of the prior REST service interface is available to
Software AG customers who have a current maintenance contract in
Empower,
Software AG's global extranet (
http://empower.softwareag.com/).
If you have REST services that were created prior to version 9.7 or if you are using the current version of
CentraSite Business UI, you will only be able to view details of these services in
CentraSite Control. You cannot edit or delete REST services using the
CentraSite Control user interface (not even if you belong to the
CentraSite Administrator role). This is because,
CentraSite Control does not support the enhanced REST interface. You will only be able to edit or delete REST services using the
CentraSite Business UI.
