7.3. Cloning a Repository


It is possible to clone a repository either in Business Central or using the REST API calls. The kie-config-cli tool cannot be used to clone arbitrary repositories. Run git clone, or use one of the following options instead:

Cloning a Repository in Business Central
Important

Note that only users with the admin role in Business Central can clone repositories.

Procedure: Using Business Central to Clone a Repository

  1. In Business Central, go to Authoring Administration.
  2. On the perspective menu, choose Repositories Clone repository.

    The Clone Repository pop-up window is displayed.

  3. In the Clone Repository dialog window, enter the repository details:

    1. Enter the Repository Name to be used as the repository identifier in the Asset repository and select the Organizational Unit it should be added to.
    2. Enter the URL of the Git repository:

      • For a local repository, use file:///PATH_TO_REPOSITORY/REPOSITORY_NAME.
      • For a remote or preexisting repository, use https://github.com/USERNAME/REPOSITORY_NAME.git or git://HOST_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME.

        Important

        It is important to use the HTTPS or Git protocol instead of a SCP-style SSH URL. Business Central does not support the basic SSH URL and fails with Invalid URL format.

      Note

      The file protocol is only supported for READ operations. WRITE operations are not supported.

    3. If applicable, enter the User Name and Password of your Git account to be used for authentication.
  4. Click Clone.

    A confirmation prompt with the notification that the repository was created successfully is displayed.

  5. Click Ok.

    The repository is now being indexed. Some workbench features may be unavailable until the indexing has completed.

You can view the cloned repository either in the File Explorer or the Project Explorer.

Note

If you are deploying Business Central on WebLogic server, set the following Java system property in the setDomainEnv.sh file (for Linux) or setDomainEnv.cmd file (for Windows):

JAVA_OPTIONS="%JAVA_OPTIONS% -DUseSunHttpHandler=true"

This enables the WebLogic server to use the HTTP handlers.

Cloning a Repository Using the REST API

To clone a repository, issue the POST REST API call. This call creates or clones (according to the value of the requestType parameter) the repository defined by the JSON entity.

The input parameter of the call is a RepositoryRequest instance. The Call returns a CreateOrCloneRepositoryRequest instance.

Important

Note that, only users with the rest-all role can clone repositories.

Example 7.3. Cloning a Repository Using the Curl Utility

Example JSON entity containing details of a repository to be cloned:

{
  "name"                   : "clonedRepository",
  "description"            :  null,
  "requestType"            : "clone",
  "gitURL"                 : "git://localhost:9418/newRepository",
  "organizationalUnitName" : "helloWorldUnit"
}

Execute the following command:

curl -X POST 'localhost:8080/business-central/rest/repositories/' -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"clonedRepository","description":null,"requestType":"clone","gitURL":"git://localhost:9418/newRepository","organizationalUnitName":"helloWorldUnit"}'
