How to Define a Repository Basket

To define a repository basket:

1.	From the Repository Manager menu, select Define, Repository Baskets.

The Repository Baskets window opens.

ALTERNATIVE:

You can also open this window from the Manage tab of the catalog, by double-clicking Repository Baskets.

2.	Specify a Name for the repository basket, and optionally a Description.

For example: Structure, Rules, and TeamWork.

NOTE:

The name of a basket cannot contain any of the following characters:

\ / : * ? " < >

3.	In the Repository field, specify whether this basket is a Definer (default), Authorizer, or BenchMark basket.

4.	Save your changes.

The Export Model is also written to a file that is used when exporting a repository using this basket. For example to:

C:\XML Repository Manager\models\Structure, Rules, and TeamWork_basket.xml

5.	In the Sections Exported part of the window, delete or Exclude all sections that you do NOT want to be exported.

6.	Likewise, for each included section, in the Tables Exported in this Section part of the window, delete or Exclude all tables that you do NOT need.

7.	Save your changes.

9.	Click the SELECT and WHERE Clause button.

The Export Model for the repository basket is regenerated. In the example above, this export model would now contain the following line:
