Deploy an Application with Artifacts
Create an Artifact Repository Speciļ¬cation
An artifact repository specification is a template for an artifact repository instance.
An artifact repository specification defines properties to access an artifact repository instance and identify
the artifacts it contains. The specification contains an action script that uses the property values to resolve
the artifact repository instance and the artifact during deployment.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application architect or an application catalog administrator.
n
Verify that you are a member of the appropriate business group.
n
Familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of defining and configuring component properties and
actions. See Chapter 12 Developing Application Services Components.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Library > Artifact
Repositories.
2
Click the Add icon ( ).
3 Enter a name and description for the artifact repository specification.
4 Enter a tracking identifier to identify the physical artifact in the repository.
Use a unique string to serve as a builld ID, job ID, commit ID, version number, or other identifier. The
system uses this identifier to locate different versions of the same artifact in the same repository. You
can use this identifier in action scripts.
5 Select a business group from the Business Group drop-down menu.
Only business group users can access the artifact repository instances created from this
specification.
6 Add a repository access property.
A repository access property specifies the server URL and any other information required to locate an
artifact repository instance.
a
Click the Add icon ( ) for Repository Access Properties.
You can use an empty row in the Repository Access Properties list instead, if available.
b Enter a property name in the Property Name text box.
c (Optional) Enter a description in the Description text box.
