Life Cycle Management

Life Cycle Management(LCM) acts a major role in SOA Governance. The default LCM supported by WSO2 Governance Registry allows users to promote, demote life cycle states of a given resource. Furthermore, it can be configured to use checklists as well.

User Interface

Associating a lifecycle to a resource

In the resource browser view, use the "Lifecycle" portlat to associate a lifecycle from the drop down menu.

Promote, Demote and Checklists

Figure 21 : Checklist and Promoting lifecycle

Once a life cycle is associated to the resouce, user is allowed to promote once all checklist items are clicked, if available.
