Versioning your Repository - Expert I

Versioning the Repository includes when you wants to manage the your repository items through BCC (Merchandising).

Follow the series of steps to register your repository in BCC.

Step 1: Place the RDF(Repository Defination File) in BCC Module.

Step 2: Place the Component file in BCC Module with following Contents in it.

Path: /my/Library.properties

$class=atg.adapter.gsa.GSARepositoryatg.adapter.version.VersionRepository
$scope=global
repositoryName=Library

# database access- for Publishing Schema, use JTDataSource
dataSource=/atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/SwitchingDataSourceJTDataSource
transactionManager=/atg/dynamo/transaction/TransactionManager

# our XML definitionFile
definitionFiles=/my/library.xml

# XML parsing
XMLToolsFactory=/atg/dynamo/service/xml/XMLToolsFactory

# id generation
idGenerator=/atg/dynamo/service/IdGenerator

#Add Following two.
versionManager=/atg/epub/version/VersionManagerService
versionItemsByDefault=true

Step 3: Create the Production and Staging Components (Staging not needed, if you have only Production Workflow)

Path: /my/Library_production.properties

$class=atg.adapter.gsa.GSARepository
$scope=global
repositoryName=Library_production

# database access- use SwitchingDataSource
dataSource=/atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/SwitchingDataSource
transactionManager=/atg/dynamo/transaction/TransactionManager

# our XML definitionFile
definitionFiles=/my/library.xml

# XML parsing
XMLToolsFactory=/atg/dynamo/service/xml/XMLToolsFactory

# id generation
idGenerator=/atg/dynamo/service/IdGenerator

lockManager=/atg/dynamo/service/ClientLockManager_production
foreignRepositoryMapper=/atg/repository/ProductionRepositoryMapper

Path: /my/Library_staging.properties

$class=atg.adapter.gsa.GSARepository
$scope=global
repositoryName=Library_staging

# database access- use JTDataSource_staging
dataSource=/atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/JTDataSource_staging
transactionManager=/atg/dynamo/transaction/TransactionManager

# our XML definitionFile
definitionFiles=/my/library.xml

# XML parsing
XMLToolsFactory=/atg/dynamo/service/xml/XMLToolsFactory

# id generation
idGenerator=/atg/dynamo/service/IdGenerator

lockManager=/atg/dynamo/service/ClientLockManager_staging



Step 4: Override the ContentRepositories component.

/atg/registry/ContentRepositories

Step 5: Add your custom repositories to ContentRepositories component.
