This time saving feature allows providers to publish local catalog items to Service Bridge as remote record producers.
A provider can create a remote record producer from the following catalog classes.
- Catalog Item
- Record Producer
- Hardware Catalog
- Software Catalog
The catalog item must meet the following requirements.
- Must be in a published state
- Must be one of the supported classes
- Cannot already have been published to service bridge
Catalog items can be published to Service Bridge individually or in bulk. When publishing catalog items in bulk, the default limit is 20 items. The limit can be changed by defining and setting the system property sn_sb_pro.max_batch_size_covertable_catalog_items.
Publishing a catalog item to Service Bridge creates a copy of the item as a remote record producer. The remote record producer is associated with the original catalog item via the reference field Created from cat item.
