Hello,
I try to use a maximum number of schema in metadata, so I can see how many different schema I use, share them, trace modification and so on.
But I find that actual schema management in repository is not really flexible. In particular, I have two suggestion :
1 - enable a "generic" metadata repository (as it exists DB connections, File Delimited, ect) in which schema could be defined without being attached to a connection or a file ;
2 - add a bouton in property view of component / edges to allow user to save built-in schema to repository ;
Use case for 1 : I have quite a complex built-in schema used as an input of several tMap component. Due to a functionnal requirement, all the tMap have to have the same schema. If I modify one schema (for example add a field), I need to do the same for all other tMap by hand ;
Use case for 2 : I use a repository schema for a component, need to modify it (so it become "built-in"). If I want to save the modification in repository, I have to create a fresh new one schema (or edit an old one), but I can't just update/save as new my built-it schema.
Any remarks appreciated
