Create and Share a New MashZone NextGen Repository

To create a new shared repository

  1. Create a new MashZone NextGen Repository in the appropriate database for your environment. See the table below.
  2. Copy the JAR file for the JDBC driver for your database to the <MashZone NextGen installation>/apache-tomcat/lib folder on all cluster nodes.
  3. If this is a new cluster, update configuration information for the MetaData, User and Snapshot repositories for one MashZone NextGen Server in the cluster. See steps 3 onward in Move the MashZone NextGen repository to a robust database solution for instructions.
  4. Enable distributed caching for artifacts. See Configure BigMemory Max Servers for MashZone NextGen Caching and In-Memory Stores for more information and instructions.
  5. If the MashZone NextGen Repository is hosted in Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL or Oracle, change the repository JAR in the MashZone NextGen Server.
  6. Restart each MashZone NextGen Server in the cluster.
