Managing Repository Objects

Repository objects are a reference or connection to a mainframe (CA View, CA Dispatch, or CA Bundl) repository. You view, create, edit, and delete the repository objects on the Repository subtab of the Administration tab. You can click the Name column header to sort the objects by the repository name in alphabetic or reverse alphabetic order. You can also refresh this list from the CA OM Web Viewer database.

A number of properties are controlled at the repository level. These properties let you control the abilities of all the users who have access to this repository object. For example, you can have certain roles that only have access to a particular repository object.

Consider the following information about repository objects:

• Each repository object maps to exactly one CA View, CA Dispatch, or CA Bundl system. A repository object can never map to two different repositories
• You can create several different repository objects that each point to the same View, Dispatch, or Bundl repository location, but have different access permissions.

  For example, you can have two or more repository objects that point to the same View repository, so that different independent groups of properties can be applied to different roles/users. Therefore, you could have two repository objects that both point to the same mainframe repository, and have one repository object that allows the file upload, and one repository object that does not allow a file upload.
