Connecting a Decisions Server to a Repository Server

Connect to Repository Server

After meeting all the prerequisites listed under the overview section, the following subsection explains how to connect Decisions with the Repository server.

1. Navigate to the environment you want to connect to the repository. Navigate to System > Settings > Designer Repository Settings. The Repository Settings dialog box appears.
   
2. Under Repository Server, paste the Repository Server's Portal Base URL.
   Ensure the URL includes the instance name "/Primary" at the end of the base URL ({PortalBaseUrl}/Primary). Refer following e.g. screenshot http://repo:8060/Primary.

   

3. Under Advanced > Enable Show Repository Actions. This will expose all the entities to the Designer Repository actions. These actions can be found by right-clicking any designer entity.
4. Click SAVE SETTINGS. To learn more about all the settings, refer to the Repository Settingsdocument.
   Saving these settings will connect the Decisions environment to a Repository Server. 

Validating the Connection

Validating ensures that the configuration you have set up for the servers is correct and that the servers communicate with each other as intended. This confirmation can help prevent any issues from arising later due to incorrect configuration settings.

1. From the current Decisions server (where the Repository is configured), navigate to any Folder/Designer Folder. Right-click on the Folder > Designer Repository > Open Repository Server. 
2. The Repository Server should open in the new browser tab. Thus confirming the connection with the repository server.
