Copy files to a host

Does MyST support the coping of the KeyStore files, archive binaries or other files into Linux host? Yes, it can be achieved with two options.

Option 1: System Artifacts

1. Compress the files into ZIP and upload the artifacts to your binary repository (eg. Artifactory).

2. Go to Platform Blueprint > Global Variables

   1. Click +

   2. Enter action.deploy.pre=download-deploy-artifacts

3. Now go to System Artifacts

   1. Click +

   2. Enter the name and click OK

4. Select the type as Application Configuration (Properties/XML file etc)

5. Enter artifact details and Maven coordinates

6. Add the metadata properties. Below is an example

7. Go to Platform Model > Actions

   1. Run Update action which brings the platform instance to the revision containing the artifact details

8. Go to Platform Model > Actions

   1. Click Control option then select Custom.

9. Run deploy action

Note: Artifacts will be deployed as part of provisioning or re-provisioning

Option 2: Release Pipeline

This is effectively the same as Option 1 but instead of configuring a Platform Blueprint you configure a Release Pipeline.

1. Compress the files into ZIP and upload the artifacts to your binary repository (eg. Artifactory).

2. Register as third party artifact.

   1. Click Release Management > Artifacts > Discover > Register Third Party Artifacts

   2. Enter artifact details and Maven coordinates

   3. Add the metadata properties as shown below
3. Create the Application Blueprint and add the artifact
4. Create the Release Pipeline and deploy the artifact
