Using a Working Environment

So that users can work in HOPEX UAF, the UAF Functional Administrator has to create an Enterprise.

An Enterprise is a purposeful undertaking, conducted by one or more organizations, aiming at delivering goods and services, in accordance with the enterprise mission in its changing environment. During its development over time, an enterprise has to adapt to its environment and sets up transformation goals and objectives along with course of action to achieve these objectives. The design and realization of the resulting transformation stages may transcend organizational boundaries and consequently require an integrated team working under the direction of a governing body to involve stakeholders in transformation initiatives.

tLibraries are collections of objects used to split repository content into several independent parts. They allow creation of virtual partitions of the repository. In particular, two objects owned by different libraries can have the same name.

In the context of the HOPEX UAF solution, a library can hold all the elements of your project.

For more information on managing libraries, see Enterprises and libraries.

The Environment > Containers navigation menu provides access to the list of libraries and Enterprises of your repository. The content of Containers element are trees.

To get more information about the use of folders in HOPEX trees, see Handling Trees.
