BIS Mapping
Repository Service

A managed Git Service for integration projects in BIS

BIS customers currently need to operate their own Mapping Repository or rely on external services such as GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket to version their mapping projects. This setup often results in:

High setup and operational effort

Configuring Git servers or managing external accounts requires significant time and resources.

Security risks and limited governance

Inconsistent access controls and auditing increase risk.

Heterogeneous project structures

Teams may follow different repository layouts, complicating collaboration.

Complicated onboarding for developers

New team members must navigate varying setups, slowing down productivity.

Lack of central transparency

Tracking mapping projects across teams is difficult without a unified view.

These challenges can slow development, increase operational risk, and make governance oversight more difficult.

The BIS Mapping Repository Service provides a fully managed Git environment embedded directly in the BIS Hub design time, purpose-built for BIS mapping projects. It makes repository-based mapping management easier and more visible for all customers while supporting established BIS 6.7 development workflows through direct integration with BIS Developer Studio.

Multiple cloud Git repositories per customer

Flexible capacity enables organized management of multiple mapping projects.

Compatibility with the BIS Developer Studio Git plugin of BIS 6.7

Developers can perform commits, pushes, and pulls directly from their familiar environment.

Optimized for BIS Mapping Designer project structures

Standardized layouts simplify collaboration and project maintenance.

Web UI in BIS Hub

Allows creation and management of repositories, read-only project viewing, and Personal Access Token management.

Token-based authentication

Replaces passwords with secure tokens, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

No dedicated Git server required

The service removes infrastructure overhead and maintenance effort.

CI/CD Ready

The service can be seamlessly integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines.
