Create a binary artifact repository

With TeamForge-Nexus 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 in the project navigation bar.
  2. Click Create Repository.
  3. 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.
    • Server: Select a binary repository server from the servers available in the drop-down list.
    • 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://
  4. Modify the default access settings such as Deployment Policy, Allow File Browsing, Include in Search and Publish URL, if required.
  5. Modify the Not Found Cache TTL duration (in minutes), if required.
  6. Click Save.
The binary repository is created.

After creating a binary repository, you can now configure the runtime (TeamForge Orchestrate) so that your Nexus runtime events are published to Orchestrate. See Configure runtime for binary artifact repositories.
