Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Applications.
2 Open the application, application version, and deployment profile in order.
3 Open the Application Properties page in the Deployment Profile wizard.
4 Click the tab for the type of object mapped. For example, click Application Component or Service
to display the corresponding properties.
5 Locate the artifact repository and artifact names in a New Value text box.
The values have Repository: and Artifact: prefixes.
6 Click the names in the New Value text box.
The Value for Property dialog box appears.
7 (Optional) You can enter the value for the tracking identifier defined in the artifact repository
specification.
The tracking identifiers for the out-of-the-box artifact repository specifications are JOB_ID for a
Jenkins build and VERSION for a Yum build. Other specifications can have other tracking identifiers.
You can leave the text box blank and enter the tracking identifier later when you deploy, either
returning here to enter the tracking identifier, or using Quick Deploy on the application.
8 (Optional) You can also override artifact management for the deployment. Specify the URL for the
application component in the type your own value text box. The URL then takes precedence.
