Important

This section describes how to distribute Release Bundles v1. For information about distributing Release Bundles v2, which were introduced in Artifactory 7.63.2 and Distribution 2.19.1, see Distribute Release Bundles (v2).Distribute Release Bundles (v2)

After you have created your Release Bundle v1, you can distribute it to the Distribution Edges to which you have distribution privileges. Distribution can be performed using the JFrog Platform UI or the Distribute Release Bundle REST API.PermissionsDistribute Release Bundle v1 Version

Distribution is responsible for triggering the replication process that happens from the source Artifactory to the Distribution edges. First, it replicates the Release Bundle info to each Edge node, and then initiates the replication process in the source Artifactory. For more details, see The Distribution Flow.

Warning

When a JPD is offline a Release bundle can not be distributed to an Edge node. This will be a critical error as before every distribution the system checks with Mission Control for available Edges.

Prerequisites

Use one of the following methods to connect Artifactory and the Edge nodes:

  • Using Scope Tokens (Pairing Tokens)Generate Scoped Tokens: Connect the source Artifactory and the Edge nodes using the JFrog Platform scoped tokens function. This function is available from Artifactory version 7.29.7 with the release of the Distribution Edges Add-on and is the default option used for connecting the source and node (if you are unable to upgrade your self-hosted instance, or need to continue using the Circle of Trust, see next method).

  • Circle of TrustAccess Tokens: Establish a circle of trust between your source Artifactory and Artifactory Edge nodes. This should be applied to both the source and target Artifactory nodes.
