Repository storage area settings

Required Rights (by category)	Server Administration
Access	Configuration Categories →  DROPS - Import Process →  Artifact Repository Settings

When releases are imported into DROPS their destination is a repository where they are stored for later use/deployment. When they are imported, releases are automatically organized by component, then application, based on a modifiable template.

Open the artifact repository Settings editor to set the location of this storage area.

Repository Storage Area

The path to the root location of the Artifact Repository. By default, this repository is automatically created in the DROPS Server.

*Default component URI Template

[Required] This field contains the template of the directory structure that defines how the artifact repository will organize imported artifacts.

A standard URI prefix is mandatory for this field.

The variables in the template refer to the variables defined for releases (${release}) and their associated applications (${application}) and components (${component}) as well as the path defined for the storage area (${root}). The variables are replaced with a code for each entity in the directory.

The default value is:

file://${root}/app${application}/cmp${component}/rls${release}

Important!

Imported artifacts must be stored in the correct order to be recognized. If you modify the default path, by changing the prefixes for example, do not change the order of the ${} variables (application, component, release)!

Default Release Increment Part

Define the default part of a release’s version number to increment when importing artifacts. This value will be available in the Import Artifacts wizard but can be modified.
