    Overview

    Federated repositories support seamless bi-directional synchronization of the artifacts and their metadata across different JFrog Platform Deployments.

    The Federation is defined as a collection of Federated repositories from different JPDs: the change in one member of Federation (artifacts or configuration) is automatically propagated to all members of the Federation. This allows to achieve full mirroring of the repositories across different JPDs.

    The mirroring of artifacts metadata occurs instantly and therefore there is little to no-delay in the mirroring. The binary content is replicated on-demand and/or in the background, so it is not interrupting the working with the repository. Configuration changes are also synchronized across the repositories (some exclusions are apply - settings that are relevant for specific JPD) based on the last change.

    Local repository can be converted to Federated, which allows smooth transition for the customers that want to implement mirroring strategy across different JPDs with the existing content.

    To configure a Federated repository, in theAdministrationmodule, go toRepositories| Repositoriesand clickFederated.

    Quick Links
    The following table describes the Federated repository parameters.

    Basic Settings

    Package Type
    		 The Package Type. This must be specified when the repository is created, and once set, cannot be changed. All Federation members must have the same Package Type.
    Repository Key
    		 存储库的关键。这是一个强制性的标识符for the repository and must be unique. It cannot begin with a number or contain spaces or special characters. For Federated repositories, we recommend using a-fedsuffix (e.g.libs-release-fed).
    Repository Layout
    		 Sets the layout that the repository should use for storing and identifying modules. A recommended layout that corresponds to the package type defined is suggested, and index packages uploaded and calculate metadata accordingly.
    Public Description
    		 A free text field that describes the content and purpose of the repository.
    Internal Description
    		 A free text field to add additional notes about the repository. These are only visible to the administrator.
    Include and Exclude Patterns

    The Include Patterns and the Exclude Patterns fields provide a way to filter out specific repositories when trying to resolve the location of different artifacts.

    In each field you can specify a list of Ant-like patterns to filter in and filter out artifact queries. Filtering works by subtracting the excluded patterns (default is none) from the included patterns (default is all).

    Example:

    Consider that the Include Patterns and Exclude Patterns for a repository are as follows:

    Include Patterns:org/apache/**,com/acme/**Exclude Patterns:com/acme/exp-project/**

    In this case, the repository is searched fororg/apache/maven/parent/1/1.pom and com/acme/project-x/core/1.0/nit-1.0.jar but not for com/acme/exp-project/core/1.1/san-1.1.jar because com/acme/exp-project/**is specified as an Exclude pattern.
    Enable Indexing in Xray

    Enables indexing on the repository for security and compliance analysis. Available withJFrog Xray.
    Maven Repository Parameters (Local, Remote and Federated Only)
    Max Unique Snapshots

    Specifies the maximum number of unique snapshots of the same artifact that should be stored. Once this number is reached and a new snapshot is uploaded, the oldest stored snapshot is removed automatically.

    Blank (default) indicates that there is no limit on the number of unique snapshots.
    Handle Releases
    		 If set, Artifactory allows you to deploy release artifacts into this repository.
    Handle Snapshots
    		 If set, Artifactory allows you to deploy snapshot artifacts into this repository.


    Advanced Settings

    Blacked out
    		 If set, Artifactory ignores this repository when trying to resolve artifacts. The repository is also not available for download or deployment of artifacts.
    Allow content browsing

    When set, allows Artifactory users to browse the internal contents of archives (for example, browsing specific Javadoc files from within a Javadoc archive).

    When archive browsing is allowed, strict content moderation should be employed to ensure malicious users do not upload content that may compromise security (e.g. cross-site scripting attacks)
    Enable CDN Download
    		 Enables CDN Download requests to this repository will redirect the client to download the files directly from AWS CloudFront. Supported for Enterprise+ and Enterprise Licenses. For more information, seeJFrog Cloud with CDN Distribution.

    Federated Repositories
    Convert to Federated Repository
    		 ClickConvertto convert the Local repository to a Federated repository.
    When you clickSave and Close, the repository will automatically be moved to the Federated tab.

    Federated Settings

    Included Repositories
    		 Lists the repositories included in the Federation
    注意,您需要定义一个存储库的关键the Basic tab, prior to setting up the Federation in the Federation tab.
    Deployments
    		 If you have JFrog Mission Control installed, the list of Federated repositories on the included JFrog Platform Deployments will automatically be populated.
    URL

    Manually add a path to the Federated repository (for instance, if no JFrog Mission Control is installed).

    The format:/artifactory/repository_name. For example,http://:8082/artifactory/fed117.

    Requires assigning Base URL for Artifactory instance for each of the included JPDs.
