the instance based on that snapshot, the repositories were successfully emptied out, but the Agents and Subjects remained. I might ask him to ask the question in a more technical sense, but can anyone inform us as to why that happened? Why did the Agents and
Subjects persist? How can we remove them, other than manually?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Dear everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Here’s another pretty basic question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">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?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thanks for the continuing assistance!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
