Release Bundle Export Rules and Guidelines

• Only a signed Release Bundle labeled as Ready can be exported.
• Only a single Export archived file can be exported as Release Bundles are immutable.
• Exporting Release Bundles requires the Distribute Bundles Permission.

To export a Release Bundle version from the Source Artifactory instance:

1. From the Application module, navigate to Distribution > Release Bundles > Distributable.

2. Create and sign a Release Bundle.

   Wait for the Release Bundle state to change to Ready.

3. Navigate to the Release Bundle version you wish to export, and select Export Version from the Version Actions list.

   

   Note that this process may take a few minutes.

4. From the Version Actions list, select Download Version.

   

   You can download the <Release Bundle Name>.zipfile to your local drive.

📘

Deleting an Exported Version

After the Export process has completed, the Delete Exported File action is displayed in the Version Actions list.

5. Copy the download <Release Bundle Name>.zip file to an external device (such as a hard drive or USB flash drive).

   2. Import the Release Bundle from a predefined path location.

      Prerequisite: Save your Release Bundle in the root of your user-defined ARTIFACTORY_HOME/var/data/artifactory/import/ folder.

      Note that as part of storage optimization, the file will automatically be deleted from the /imports folder after the Release Bundle has been successfully imported.

In an HA environment, you have an option to save the exported Release Bundle on a different node in the cluster as long as the Release Bundle is saved in the root of the /import folder.

The imported Release Bundle is added to the Received tab.
