Provisioning

Provisioning is a process allowing to define a view aggregating several assets, coming from assets selection or datasets selection. In the case of datasets, the preferred asset will be used.

The shopping cart process allows to define this aggregation, comment it, and share it with other users (when shopping cart is public).

Once the shopping cart is finalized, you can launch the Provisioning workflow.

First step : content analysis

TIBCO Cloud™ Metadata will display what can be done with the contents of the shopping cart.

For each element, will be displayed the following informations :

When you have reviewed these elements click on the ‘Start’ button.

Second step : fill view elements

On this page, you’ll have to fill in key information for the view to be created. This view will be materialized as an asset in TIBCO Cloud™ Metadata data. This asset must have a owner and must be located in an instance of TDV where the view will be created. A justification will reviewers and approvers to qualify you request.

The instance of TDV available are the one that are automatically created on agent registration. See administration guide for more details.

Third step : review

This step occurs only when a reviewer has been configured in the administration (See administration guide as a static role or a dynamic role.

Forth step : approvals

This step occurs only when at least one approver has been configured in the administration (See administration guide as a static role or a dynamic role.

Fifth step : view finalization

When all elements are set, click on ‘Finalize’ button.

Published View Updates

For TDV published views that were created using provisioning, the owner can perform update operations from TIBCO Cloud™ Metadata directly.
