Create a Config.properties File with Parameters to Launch a G-Repository Client

The configuration properties to automated the launching of a G-Repository must contain the following parameters:

• profileId - The external profileId of the GenRocket Organization.
• repoName - the name for the client repo to contain the contents of a given Project Version.
• serverName - The server's name that will be registered with the GenRocket Organization.
• serverURL - The ipAddress of the Repository Server
• serverPort - The port on which to communicate with the G-Repository Server.
• downloadPort - The port on which to download from the G-Repository Server.
• projectName - The name of the GenRocket Organization Project.
• projectVersion - The versionNumber of the Project Version within the GenRocket Organization Project.
• baseDirectory - This is the directory under which the client repo, defined by the repoName, will be created.
  • The baseDirectory can be created anywhere within the user's system.
  • During the creation process:
    • If the base subdirectory does not exist, then all paths will be created.
    • If the path already exists, it will be checked to see if it is the G-Repository Client base subdirectory. If it is not determined to be the base subdirectory, then the creation process will be terminated.
• protocolType - Optional parameter that specifies the communication protocol to use. Default value is http protocol if not provided. Supported values are http or https

Example 1

In this example, we are appending the GenRocket User Home Directory in the baseDirectory path to specify G-Repository Client Base Complete Path.
