Text Based Repository

Transformation Manager (TM) stores information as files within a standard directory structure. This is known as a text repository. Data stored is compromised of model meta-data and transformation projects.

TM Text Repository has a number of distinct benefits, including:

• offering a simple means of organising data
• providing efficient access to data
• the ability to be stored in version control system and shared by multiple users

Accessing a Text Repository

TM allows users to create new empty text repositories, via the Repository page of the Project Wizard. The user can specify a name and location for the new repository. Alternatively a user may connect to an existing text repository by browsing or specifying the file path to the root of the repository.
