Setting Up Aliases for Source Repositories
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.
Note:
You can set up aliases for source repositories for repository-based deployment only.
<Repository>

<repalias name="name">

<type>FlatFile</type>
<urlOrDirectory>directory_location</urlOrDirectory>
<createIndex>true or false</createIndex>
<Test>true or false</Test>

</repalias>
</Repository>
For more information about the values to supply for the following attributes, see Connecting to a Source Repository.
Attribute
Description
repalias name
The name to use for the repository alias. This attribute corresponds to the Name field.
type
The type of repository file. Set to FlatFile.
urlOrDirectory
The full path of the repository directory in which the composites are located. This attribute corresponds to the File Directory field.
createIndex
Specifies whether Deployer should create the index.
Set to:
*true to create the index in the source repository.
*false if you do not want to create the index in the source repository.
Default is false.

*true to test the connection to the target server. If Project Automator cannot ping the target server, it registers an error and handles the error according to the exitOnError attribute of the <DeployerSpec> tag. For more information, see Root Tag.
*false to create the source alias without testing the connection to the target server.
