Governance Registry contains the capability of interacting directly with external file systems and a variety of version control systems which supports Maven. Enabling support on Maven SCM plugin has fulfilled the mentioned aspect in GREG. Now a user can integrate Governance Registry with over 10 version control systems which are listed out at http://maven.apache.org/scm-1.7/matrix.html.

With the SCM support on Governance Registry users are able to fulfill following scenarios. 

  • Capability of directly managing a resource resides at a version control system from the Registry. The user can browse Resources/Collections and do operations such as add,update or delete resources from Registry end so it will get effect on the version control system as well.
  • A user can add WSDL,Schemas like artifacts from the Registry end and store all its dependency structures in the mounted version control system. This would allow the user to use those dependencies with some other third party product as well e.g. - Build Systems.
  • If a user works with different types of multiple corporate repositories such as SVN, GIT, Perforce, VSS, and if the user wants to create a single view which allows to browse and manage the resources it is possible to use the registry for this aspect by enabling SCM support.

Warning

It is not possible to add properties to any of the checked out resources since the resources are maintained in file system, and therefore operations such as Mounting, Symbolic Links, Life Cycles and Retention would not work on resources within an SCM mount.
