You can create new assets or update assets that exist on
your file system to a Rational Asset Manager repository.
About this task
To upload assets directly from your file system to a repository:
- Find the directories on your local file system that you want to
create assets from.
- Create rules that define how the directories and their files will
map to an asset. For example, you must define what files are artifacts
and what value to assign as the community and asset version. You can
define these rules in two ways:
- Specify a series of rules
- Create a manifest.rmd file that contains definitions.
Note: If
you create a manifest.rmd file, you must place it in the root directory
of an asset or asset archive before you add the directory as the asset
source.
- Correct all problems that exist with the new assets, select the
destination repository, and update the assets to the repository.
