Wise Package Studio Getting Started Guide
Not available in Standard Edition.
When you create a new Wise Software Repository, all links to the old repository are
broken, but the data is not deleted. The new repository becomes the default for all Wise
Package Studio clients that connect to this server.
To create a new repository
1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Symantec > Wise Package Studio >
Wise Repository Manager.
2. In the Wise Repository Manager, on the File menu, click New.
The Create New Repository wizard starts.
3. Complete the dialog boxes that appear. When you are asked to specify the share
point directory, specify a share point path that resides under an existing location.
See Repository Configuration Dialog Boxes
The new databases are created and associated with the share point directory you
specified.
To provide an additional level of security, your database administrator can set
permissions on tables in the new databases. This is not required, but is an option if you
are concerned about unauthorized users changing database tables outside Wise Package
Studio. For recommendations, see Setting Database Security in the Wise Package Studio
Help.
Not available in Standard Edition.
In a large enterprise with multiple teams, each team might use a different Wise
Software Repository. However, a Wise Package Studio server can be associated with only
one active repository at a time. To change the default Wise Software Repository for a
server installation, open a new repository.
Note
To change the default repository for a client installation, use the Workbench Preferences
dialog box > Repository tab and specify the share point that is associated with an active
Wise Software Repository. See Setting Repository Preferences in the Wise Package
Studio Help.
If you upgrade from a previous version of Wise Package Studio that has multiple
repositories, only one repository is upgraded. To upgrade the other repositories, you
must open them and then upgrade them.
To open a repository
1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Symantec > Wise Package Studio >
Wise Repository Manager.
2. In the Wise Repository Manager, on the File menu, click New.
