Create, Refresh, or Change Sources for a Mirror Repository
Mirror repositories are always hosted on Platform Manager. When you create a mirror repository, you are asked for the machine on which to store it.
You create primary mirror repositories from the Gateway
Command Central. Store these repositories on the Gateway
Command Central machine.
You create secondary mirror repositories from non-Gateway
Command Centrals. Store these repositories as follows:
If the non-Gateway
Command Central machine is physically near the target installation machines, store the repositories on the non-Gateway
Command Central machine.
If the target installation machines are in a distant location, improve performance by storing the repositories on a machine that is physically near the target installation machines. In this case, you must first install a
Platform Manager on the machine to host the repository.
You can refresh an existing mirror repository if new products or fixes become available in the source repositories after you create the mirror repository. You can also specify different source repositories from which to populate the mirror repository.
You can watch a demo relating to this task in the
Command Central area of the Software AG TECHcommunity website at
http://techcommunity.softwareag.com.
1. If necessary, install Platform Manager on the machine on which to store the repository (see above).
2. To create a product mirror repository, go to Views > Repositories > Products, click 
, click Create mirror repository, and provide the requested values. 3. To create a fix mirror repository, go to Views > Repositories > Fixes, click , click Create mirror repository, and provide the requested values. 4.
