New Repository Manager UI

Starting TrueSight Orchestration Platform 8.2.00, the Repository Manager graphical user interface (GUI) is updated using a new framework that does not need Flash. For this release, the old repository UI is also available, however BMC encourages you to use the new UI.  

If you are upgrading from an earlier version, content in the repository, and all role-based access settings such as groups and permissions appear seamlessly in the new UI.

UI changes – A comparison

The following table compares the old and the new GUI. 

New URL

If you want to access the Repository Manager using a URL directly instead of launching it from the Grid Manager, you now use the new URL:

If you access the Repository Manager link from the Grid Manager application, the new UI is launched. The old UI is still available in this release and is accessible by using the URL.

Permissions tab – Cleaner, organized UI

In the old UI, two high-level categories for permissions were clubbed together with no clear distinction between permissions that determine how to user will access the Repository Manager and permissions for accessing content (adapters and modules).

In the new UI, two separate sections clearly define the Repository Permissions and Content Permissions, which enable you to easily identify and assign permissions to groups based on your requirements.

Edit permissions for multiple groups at a time

In the old UI, you can only edit permissions for one group at a time. Using the new UI, you can select multiple groups. 

Only the selected groups are displayed in the Edit Permissions page. 

Delete multiple groups with a one-click action

You can now select several groups from the list and delete them with a one-click action. In the old UI, you could only delete one group at a time.

Where to go from here
