Create a binary artifact repository

With TeamForgeNexus integration enabled, each project can have one or more binary repositories.

Remember:

Before you can create a repository for binary artifacts, a site administrator must set up TeamForge-Nexus integration and add one or more binary servers to your TeamForge site.

  1. Click BINARIES from the Project Home menu.
  2. Click Create Repository. The Create Repository page appears.
  3. Server: Select a Nexus or Artifactory binary repository server from the drop-down list.
  4. If you are creating a Nexus repository, type or select the values for the following fields in the Create Repository page.
    Tip: Hover your mouse over the Help icon (question mark icon) for relevant tooltip.
    • Repository Name and Repository ID: Type a name and ID for the binary repository.
    • Repository Type: Select one of the following types from the drop-down list: Hosted Repository or Proxy Repository or Virtual Repository.
    • Provider: Select the content provider of the repository from the drop-down list.
    • Repository Policy: Repositories can store artifacts of a release or snapshot or both. Select a policy from the drop-down list.
    • Override Local Storage Location: Leave this blank to use the default local storage location. To change the local storage location, type the path (URL) in the following format.
      • Windows: file:/{drive-letter}:/
      • Other operating systems: file://
    1. Modify the default access settings such as Deployment Policy, Allow File Browsing, Include in Search and Publish URL, if required.
    2. Modify the Not Found Cache TTL duration (in minutes), if required.
    3. Click Save.
  5. If you are creating an Artifactory repository, type or select the values for the following fields in the Create Repository page.
    Tip: Hover your mouse over the Help icon (question mark icon) for relevant tooltip.
    • Repository Type: Select one of the following types from the drop-down list: Local Repository or Remote Repository or Virtual Repository.
    • Package Type: Type the package type. For example, "maven". Package type cannot be changed once the repository is created.
    • Repository Key: Type the repository key. The repository key must be unique within an Artifactory instance. Can contain no spaces or special characters. Cannot begin with a number.
    1. Fill in the fields (modify the default values, if required) listed under the "General", "Include/Exclude Patterns", and "Maven Settings" sections. Hover your mouse over the Help icon (question mark icon) for relevant tooltip.
    2. Click Save.
The binary repository is created.

After creating a binary repository, you can now configure traceability for the repository so that your Nexus or Artifactory runtime events are published to EventQ. See Configure traceability for binary artifact repositories.
