What to do next
Explore whether to add a customized task to the Application Services library. See Add a Custom Task to
the Library.
Add APT Repository Config Predefined Task
The APT Repository Config predefined task is a script used to update the APT repositories to install or
update software on Ubuntu or other DEB-based operating systems.
You can configure the APT Repository Config properties to add a new repository or remove all of the
existing repositories. If you need more than one repository, you can create multiple tasks and link them in
the execution plan by adding one task next to the other.
Use the predefined sample task only in a test environment.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application publisher and deployer.
n
Verify that the predefined task is added to the execution deployment plan before you add any
services or application components that require APT for installing or updating software packages.
n
Verify that Application Services is configured to use a proxy. See Configure Application Services to
Use a Proxy for External URLs.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Applications.
2 Click the name of the application.
A list of application versions appears.
3 Select an application version.
4 Create a deployment profile.
5 In the Deployment Profile wizard, follow the prompts to Execution Plan.
