We push the maven project code from bit bucket to bamboo.It gets build in bamboo and generates the artifact which is basically an war file(which includes the bamboo build number ).We have used the curl command to push these artifacts from bamboo to nexus oss.
1.Whether the nexus after getting the artifacts uploaded from bamboo creates any release number
2.Can we create the release number in nexus?
3.How can we create the release in nexus back to bamboo ?
4.Is this possible? Are any plugins available or can we use any kind of scripts?
I'd recommend configuring your maven build to use the maven-deploy-plugin to upload artifacts to Nexus in a consistent manner.
Here's a short blog post that describes pushing a war file: http://www.sonatype.org/nexus/2015/02/27/setup-local-nexus-repository-and-deploy-war-file-from-maven/

For some time, we have published all our artifacts to our own repository, which we host ourselves, using JFrog Artifactory.
We have some open source libraries we want to publish to Maven Central, and have come to the point where can publish every new version to Maven Central as a manual step. Now, we want to automate this, and the two options seems to be to either integrate it into our CI workflow or to sync it from our repository. Synching is the easier solution if we can make it work. Sonatype provide some straight forward instructions for doing so with the Nexus Repository Manager here: https://central.sonatype.org/publish/large-orgs/sync/
However, Nexus does not run on Artifactory, so the question is: How do we sync from Artifactory to Maven Central? (Or is it even possible? A confirmation that this is not possible would also be very valuable.)
The use case is to sync the artifacts in Artifactory to the Maven central and it is not possible from the Artifactory side.
I'm using JFrog Artifactory OSS in a docker container.
I want to download the latest version of an artifact. But it seems that it is not possible in OSS version.
Does anybody know a way to download the latest version of the artifact?
You are right, the Latest Version API endpoint works only in Artifactory Pro.
Working with Maven repositories, you can use the SNAPSHOT support to get Artifactory to return you the latest artifact.
Setting the Maven Snapshot behavior in repo settings to Unique, deploy the artifacts with -SNAPSHOT suffix. Artifactory will assign a unique version to those files internally, but you will always be able to retrieve the latest one using the -SNAPSHOT suffix.
Thanks a lot for your fast answer. I forgot you tell my hole workflow.
I have a jenkins server, building, testing and deploying my stuff.
I want build a spring boot jar file with maven and deploy it to my repository(i use jfrog). This works perfect. In a next step i will create a docker image containing this jar file. So the in the image file ther must be a command to download the execuatbel jar from jfrog. So for this reason i have to know the latest version of the jar file.
I hope you could understand it, this is my first english question.
Thanks a lot for helping me !
We have XLDeploy being used to deploy application. We do not want to use default feature where Nexus pushes new XL deploy whenever it get new artifacts. On the need basis we want to pull the artifacts from Nexus into XL Deploy. What are the steps?
You will need first to Configure XL Deploy to fetch artifacts from a repository, Then you can add an externally stored artifact to a package .. You may also have a look on this tutorial deploy an externally stored artifact using the cli which will show you how to use the XL Deploy (CLI) to deploy an artifact from a Maven repository such as Artifactory or Nexus.
You can also try using the XLRelease and give the configuration details with Nexus repository. That will help you out!
I was wondering if there is a standard way to backup and restore a Nexus OSS 3 Artifact Repository.
Is it enough to backup the "data" directory and copy it to a running new instance?
I use different types of repositories - Maven, NPM, Docker etc.
In Nexus Repository Manager 3.2 there will be a supported Backup/Restore feature. Your approach seems fine, a few notes:
back up your data directory while Repository Manager is stopped (prevents db files being in an inconsistent state)
test your restoration procedure to ensure it works
If you run into issues, please file them here so we can be aware: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS
I want to move a set of artifacts from one Nexus to other (download and later upload). I just can download the artifacts one by one, ¿Is there any way to download the entire folder? ¿Is there any other kind of operation like export/import?
Thanks!
EDIT:
I have access to the nexus repository (sonatype-work\nexus\storage) in the user folder. I have got from there all the artifacts. I didn't find any way to do it from the web client.
Nexus stores the artifacts on disk in standard Maven 2/3 repository layout, so you can just directly copy the artifacts from one storage directory to the other using whatever means you like.
After you're finished, schedule a repair index task against the destination repository so that searching for artifacts from the web UI will work. Note that your builds will work immediately after you copy the artifacts, indexes are not used by maven builds.
