Managing SCA module metadata

WSRR provides the facilities to create, update and remove metadata for SCA modules and all their derived logical objects.

This is performed in an identical way for all WSRR artifacts. It is important to note that built-in relationships and general properties created for SCA modules are derived from the SCA documents that defined them. This means that this metadata cannot be altered by the user. It can, however, be used to find and locate artifacts and thus achieve the goal of the registry.

You can also clone an SCA module and edit the endpoints in the cloned version. The cloned version can then be promoted to the target environment. There are seven possible export bindings for an SCA module (see ExportBinding). When you clone an SCA module, you can edit the endpoints for the bindings that the module uses. An exception to this is the SCA export binding endpoints. These are derived from the module name, and so cannot be overridden.

The general methods of managing metadata are described in the Related links.
