Migrating Group Repository Data from Nexus to CodeArts Artifact

To migrate group repository data from Nexus to CodeArts Artifact, you only need to configure virtual repositories on CodeArts Artifact. Then you can use the new virtual repository.

The principle is as follows: Aggregate the local and proxy repositories through configuration to replace the group repository on Nexus.

Prerequisites

  • You have created a virtual repository. For details, see Creating a Repository.
  • You have configured the network for the proxy mirror repository. You can contact the environment administrator, O&M personnel, or technical support.

Step 1: Migrating the Proxy and Hosted Repositories in the Group Repository in the Nexus

Migrate the hosted and proxy repositories in a group repository in the Nexus by referring to Migrating Hosted Repository Data from Nexus to CodeArts Artifact and Migrating Proxy Repository Data from Nexus to CodeArts Artifact.

Step 2: Configuring a Virtual Repository

  1. Use your Huawei Cloud account to access self-hosted repos.
  2. In the left pane, select the target virtual repository.
  3. Click Proxy Settings in the upper-right corner of the page.
  4. Click Add Proxy and select Open Source or Custom.

    You can select Third-party Repository or Huawei Local Repository from Custom.

    • Third-party repository: Set a third-party repository or a repository created by a user as the proxy source.

      After selecting a third-party repository, select a custom proxy source (proxy on Nexus) from the Proxy Name drop-down list.

    • Huawei Local Repository: Set a Huawei local repository as the proxy source. Only repositories with access permissions can be selected. The local repository corresponds to the hosted repository in Nexus.

      You can select a local repository from the Proxy Name drop-down list.

  5. Click OK. The proxy is added.

    • In the proxy list, click in the Operation column to change the proxy name, proxy username, and proxy password.

      You cannot edit the proxy source of the local repository.

    • Click in the Operation column to delete the proxy.
