In this tutorial, you will learn some best
practices for
configuring and modifying a repository. You will modify various elements
in the sample repository to create a category schema or an intuitive
structure where users can submit and find assets.
As a
repository administrator, you must configure
your repository for company-wide consumption of assets. Ultimately,
you want to create an IBM® Rational® Asset
Manager server and client configuration that will make it easy for
users to find existing assets and classify new ones. One of the most
important structural elements of the repository is the category schema.
Administrators who create strong, meaningful category schemas for
their users will create a structure in the repository that facilitates
asset consumption. Users search within different categories across
the organization and by doing this, they can collaborate efficiently
between departments.
