Connecting to a Repository for Repository-Based Deployment
For repository-based deployment, you define the repository as the source server. This location identifies the repository directory from which the assets should be deployed. Perform the following tasks to define a source repository for repository-based deployment.
To define the source repository
1. In Deployer, go to the Deployer > Repository page.
2. Click Add Repository.
Deployer displays the repository properties in the right-hand pane.
3. In the Name field, type the name to use for the repository alias. The name can be up to 32 characters long and cannot contain spaces or the following special characters:
$ ~ / \ # & @ ^ ! % * : ; , + = > < ‘ ’ "
4. In the File Directory field, type the full path of the repository directory in which the composites are located.
Note: The repository directory must be accessible to Deployer.
5. Click Configure.
Deployer displays the repository in the table on in the Repositories pane.
6. To test the connection, click 
in the Test column of the Repositories pane.
