Has anyone tried to deploy artifacts to Rational Asset Manager

Question

I am experimenting the use of Rational Asset Manager to store our binaries and/or build artifacts. I am running a mvn deploy command to deploy my build artifacts to RAM. Although it recognizes the connection its throwing me a Http status code: 500 error.

I have also checked RAM logs for more information but i don't see any specific exception. All the examples or documents out on internet says we have to configure RTC build engine to run the builds.

I just want to know if anyone have tried publishing to RAM from command line using Mvn deploy ( without using RTC client ) ? is this do-able?

If you have successfully published artifacts to RAM using maven, can you please elaborate on how you did it?

Answer 1

I was able to deploy the artifact using mvn deploy after changing the following things in RAM

• Pointed to a JRE version in RAM ( originally was pointing to JDK version) and
• Changed permissions for my role for saving my artifacts in RAM ("save Work Item") Reference

It seems to be possible, if you follow the steps described in:

• "Creating and using Maven assets", and
• "Deploying from Maven to assets":

Before you can use Maven assets, a repository administrator must enable the Maven model library. For more information, see Enabling the Maven library.

The mvn client can integrate with Rational Asset Manager, using Rational Asset Manager as a Maven repository.

Before you deploy from Maven to Rational Asset Manager, you must add a repository entry to the pom.xml file on the computer where you plan to run the mvn client. See Creating and using Maven assets for more information.
