Data Repository API
The Data Repository is a permanent structure to store data that can then be reused, modified or
augmented at a later time, by different processes.
The Data Repository can be accessed at runtime by the Push To Repository plugin and other
tasks (see "Data Repository" on page84) and at design time via the "Data Repository
Manager" on page744.
This topic explains how to access the Data Repository in script.
For a quick start, turn to this How-to: Interacting with the Data Repository API.
Warning
All operations on the Repository must be performed through this API - rather than directly
accessing the physical file - since the Repository's underlying file structure may change over time.
This API is guaranteed to remain compatible with future versions of the Data Repository. It is used
by all Workflow tasks dealing with the Repository.
