Downloading content from the repository

You can download adapters and modules as files that you can save to physical media and transport to another repository. This capability enables you to maintain multiple repositories, separated physically or by firewalls.

For example, you might want to separate your production repository from your development repository.
Default output file names use the following naming convention, but you can overwrite the default name:
contentName_contentVersion_Year-month-day_revisionNumber.extension or contentName.contentVersion_Year-month-day_revisionNumber.extension

The type of content determines the extension:

• Downloaded files for modules have a .roar extension.

• Downloaded files for adapters have a .aroar extension.

  Examples

  bmc-adapter-amazon-s3-actor_20.13.01.00_2013-03-20_02.24.24_1.aroar and AMP-AD-BMC_Performance_Manager_Portal.20.13.01.00_2013-03-20_02.25.18_1.roar
  

Before you begin

You must have accessed Repository Manager.
