Overview
The Artifact Repository Browser provides a set of actions including move, copy and deletion of artifacts to keep your repositories consistent and coherent. When an artifact is moved, copied or deleted, the corresponding metadata descriptors (such asmaven-metadata.xml,RubyGems, Npm and more) are immediately and automatically updated to reflect the change and keep your repositories consistent with the package clients.
In addition, as a convenience feature, Artifactory provides a simple way to do a completeversion cleanup.
Downloading a Folder
Artifactory allows the download of a complete folder that is selected in theTree BrowserorSimple Browser.
This ability is configurable by an Artifactory administrator, and if allowed, when a folder is selected theDownloadfunction is available in theActionsmenu.

If the latter applies, there is no need to provide the artifact checksums during the upload in order for its checksum files to be visible. The Download Folder functionality mimics this mechanism, and will write checksum files to the output archive based on the same conditions. *With remote repository caches, there is no distinction for the checksum policy of the repository. Simply checking this checkbox will always result in checksum files being added. |
You can also download a folder using theRest API.
Configuring Folder Download
An Artifactory administrator can enable complete folder download in theAdministrationtab underArtifactory | General | Settings. This configuration will apply to all Artifactory users.
Max Size |
The maximum size (MB) of artifacts that can be downloaded in a folder download. |
Max Number of Files |
The maximum number of artifacts that may be downloaded from the selected folder and all its sub-folders. |
Max Parallel Folder Downloads |
The maximum number of concurrent folder downloads allowed. |
Blocking Folder Download
When trying to download a folder, if any of the artifacts in that folder are blocked for download, then downloading the folder will fail with an HTTP FORBIDDEN (403) error.
Moving and Copying Artifacts
To move or copy an artifact or folder, select it in the Tree Browser and then clickMove ContentorCopy Contentfrom theActionsmenu or from the right-click menu.
Artifactory will display a list of repositories from which you need to select yourTarget Repositoryfor the operation.
The list of target repositories will contain all the local repositories, or virtual repositories with a "Default Deployment Repository" configured with the same package type as the source repository, or configured as generic repositories. This mean, for example, you can only move an artifact from a debian repository to a generic repository or to a local debian repository.
After selecting yourTarget Repository, you can specify a customTarget Pathif you want your source artifacts moved to a different location theTarget Repository.
Copy operations are executed using Unix conventions
org/jfrog/1from a source repository toorg/jfrog/1in a target repository will result in the contents of the source being copied toorg/jfrog/1/1.
org/jfrog/1into targetorg/jfrog.Custom target path supresses cross-layout translation
If you are copying or moving your source artifacts to a repository with a different layout, specifying aCustom Target Pathsuppresses cross-layout translation. This means that your client may NOT be able to resolve the artifacts, even in cases of a same-layout operation.
Once you have selected yourTarget Repository(andCustom Target Pathif needed),clickMoveorCopyto complete the operation.
All metadata is updated to reflect the operation once completed.
Simulating a Move or Copy
Note that an operation may fail or generate warnings for several reasons. For example, the target repository may not accept all the items due to its own specific policies, or you may not have the required permissions to perform the operation.
Before actually doing an operation, we recommend that you check if it will succeed without errors or warnings by clickingDry Run.
Artifactory will run a simulation and display any errors and warnings that would appear when doing the actual operation.
Permissions required
To successfully complete a move, you need to have DELETE permission on your source repository, and DEPLOY permission on your target repository.
Deleting a Single Item
To delete a single artifact or directory, select the item in the Tree Browser, and clickDelete Contentfrom theActionsmenu or the right-click menu.
Once the item is deleted, the corresponding metadata file is updated to reflect the change so the item will not be found in a search.
Deleting a Version
It is common for a repository to accumulate many different artifacts deployed under the same group (or path prefix) and the same version. This is especially true for snapshot deployments of multi-module projects, where all deployed artifacts use the same version.To delete a version by individually deleting its constituent artifacts can be tedious, and would normally be managed by writing a dedicated script.Artifactory lets you select one of the artifacts in a version and then delete all artifacts with the same version tag in a single click while keeping the correspondingmetadata descriptors up to date.
To delete a version, right-click a folder in theTree Browserand selectDelete Versions.
Artifactory深入到选定的文件夹中nd returns with a list of all the groups and versions that can be deleted.
Select the versions you want to clean up and clickDelete Selected.
Limit to number of versions displayed
To avoid an excessively long search, Artifactory only displays the different version numbers assigned to the first 1000 artifacts found in the selected level of the repository hierarchy. If you do not see the version number you wish to delete, filter the artifacts displayed in theDelete Versionsdialog by Group ID or Version number.
