Abstract:
1. A method for creating an editable service metadata asset lifecycle event notification distribution list, said method comprising: providing a service metadata repository on a computing device, said service metadata repository storing a set of service metadata assets associated with a plurality of applications distributed on a network, wherein each service metadata asset is associated with an owner, and wherein each service metadata asset includes data for accessing a service provided by at least one of said applications; receiving from said owner associated with a particular service metadata asset, an indication of one or more distribution recipients that are designated to receive notifications regarding the particular service metadata asset stored in the service metadata repository; associating the one or more distribution recipients with the owner in a link table, wherein the owner and the one or more distribution recipients are related to the particular service metadata asset through the link table; triggering, by a sender, an event associated with the particular service metadata asset, said event causing an asset lifecycle event notification template to automatically generate a service metadata asset lifecycle event notification in the service metadata repository; detecting the service metadata asset lifecycle event notification generated in the service metadata repository, presenting the sender with the one or more distribution recipients associated with the owner in the link table; receiving from the sender an edited list of distribution recipients that includes one or more modifications to the distribution recipients in the link table; and sending the service metadata asset lifecycle event notification, from the queue component, to the owner and to the edited list of distribution recipients.
