color=#0000ff size=2>Yes, I have done exactly that in the past to see where my
files were copied to in the repository. I guess my big problem is that
there is no way around copying our data from the place where it is maintained to
the repository in order for it to be accessible as a resource. Allowing a
resource to point to a different physical location would make data
management quite a bit easier for us and we wouldn't have to worry about
reversing out the actual physical path to that resource and then incorporating
that into our batch routines. This would also totally eliminate the need
to load these resources at all via HTTP or as packages.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->

package and data shuffling to keep your repository data in synch with the source

managed data structure is a detriment, in my opinion. Many of us will want
to update our data through external processes and there is no easy way to just
copy files into the repository or point to an existing network location. I
think this is going to become a much bigger problem as people put these systems
into production and realize that they have to "load" their data into
repositories. It's also going to be a large problem for keeping data up to
date with ongoing system maintenance. Scheduled process are going to be a
necessity to ensure that the data in the repository is in synch with the source
data. And, in the case of large source datasets, the entire dataset will
have to be reloaded as there is no incremental update
method. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

imported SDFs are processed (into SDF v3, I believe). Is it currently possible
to import SDF data sources into the repository without using
Studio at all, just using the server API? Is it possible to create your own
Packages using the server API? I would be interested in doing
this for our migration tools. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
