19.9. Editing the Repositories Available to a Profile

Abstract

Containers can download the artifacts it requires from feature repositories. Using the Repositories tab, you can add and remove repositories from the profile's list.

Overview

In order to provision the artifacts specified in a profile's containers need to be able to load them. This means that the artifacts need to be local to the container or accessible in a location from which the container can download them. Fuse containers can download artifacts from repositories that are identified in a profile.
Using the Repositories tab you can specify one or more repositories that are accessible to a container using the profile.

  1. Select the profile to which you want to add repositories.

  3. In the Add new repository filed, enter the URL of the feature repository to be added to the profile.
  4. Click Add.
    The new feature repository will appear in the list and all containers using the profile will be able to use the new feature repository.
