Config Repository

The Configuration Repository (CR) is a self-contained service for managing backups of:

• Ua Namespace nodeset files
• Apis Variable mapping files
• Apis Hive configuration files

CR can compare different versions of backups to each other.

The structure inside CR is organized as a hierachy

• Level 1: Folders
• Level 2: Stores
• Level 3: Revisions
• Level 4: Content

Folders

Folders can be nested to the users choosing. Only folders can be at the root of the repository. The users are free to organize a folder hierachy.

Stores

Stores are containers for Revisions (backups). A store is of one specific type, Namespace, Variable Mapping or Hive Configuration.

• A Store of type Namespace can store nodeset2.xml file only.
• A Store of type Variable Mapping can store Apis hive config files only (text).
• A Store of type Hive Config can store Hive configuration backups only (zip).

Revisions

Revisions can be added to Stores only, and must be of the same type as the Store. A Revision is a placeholder for an actual backup (Content). The revision contains metadata for the backup like, name, description, version, date and more.

A Revisions type must correspond to the type of the Store it belongs to. I.e. a Revision for a namespace can only belong to a Store for namespaces.

Content

Content is an actual backup file. Content is always assosiated with a Revision.

A Content file might be:

• nodeset2.xml file for an Ua Namespace
• Hive config text file for Variable Mapping
• Hive backup zip file for Hive Configuration

Compare Revisions

Revisions in the same Store can be compared to one another. One revision is selected as base, the other as "compare to". The result will be sets of Added/Deleted/Modified from the viewpoint of the base. The diff-results for the 3 different types are different.
