<p class="MsoNormal">Dear everyone,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s another pretty basic question.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I currently have three repositories in our instance of AS. One was created by the migrator when I migrated over our accessions, one is blank, and one holds resources that I want to play around with.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today I imported our accessions and created the third repository mentioned above, but was surprised to find that the names and subjects that I had imported appeared in every repository, not just the repository that the migrator created.
This made me realize that a very basic assumption of mine was seriously flawed: I had guessed that repositories were completely separate from one another, and that if I had an agent record for “Doe, John” in one, it would not appear elsewhere.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I’d like to request a basic explanation of what the repositories hold that are unique to them, and what is shared across the entire instance? What defines “a repository?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the continuing assistance!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">-Valerie</p>
