BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Repository (ALER) is an SOA repository that provides tools to manage and govern the metadata for any type of software asset, from 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.
In WebLogic Integration (WLI), you can do the following:
You can select services from ALER and use them in WLI processes. For example, you can search for a specific web service, retrieve the WSDL from ALER, and use it to generate a service control in a WLI process. You can search for assets, based on keywords or the type of service (WSDL- or XML-based).
You can store metadata about WLI assets in ALER. The metadata includes information that can be used to make a WLI asset discoverable by other products for reuse.
For more information about ALER, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13168_01/aler/docs30/index.html.
ALER integration with WLI enables you to search for and use assets from the repository without having to leave the WLI IDE ((Integrated Development Environment).
