Repositories contain all data and information related to Sybase ETL objects, projects, and jobs.
During a session, multiple repositories are simultaneously accessible. You can copy and transfer projects between repositories, which allows you to separate your production repository from your development repository. See “Managing projects”.
A repository usually belongs to a single client, such as a department or firm. More than one client can use the same repository. Each client can support any number of users; each user has a user name and password that controls access to information.
Do not manually manipulate data in the repository tables. Sybase cannot guarantee the functionality of a repository after it has been manually manipulated. It can also make the repository unusable, and your work may be lost.
