BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Repository (ALER) provides the tools to manage and govern the metadata
for any type of software asset, from business processes and services to patterns, frameworks,
applications, components, and data services. ALER maps the relationships and interdependencies that connect
those assets to improve impact analysis, promote and optimize their reuse, and measure their impact
on the bottom line.
Note: ALER 3.0 RP1 is available. The ALER 3.0 RP1 enhancements do not affect most of the core ALER 3.0 documentation.
If no RP1-specific documentation exists for a guide, the link takes you to the core ALER 3.0 guides.
