Publishing to a local repository

During this phase, Studio validates your orchestrations. If validation is successful, you can publish your connector to a repository on your local computer for testing and debugging.

Procedure

  1. Select File -> Publish Connector to Local Repository or click the Publish toolbar icon as shown in Figure 1. Studio validates the orchestrations. If validation is successful, the connector is published to the connector repository at <user_home>/.castiron/connector-repository. If the validation fails, error messages are displayed. Correct the problems and re-publish.
  2. Restart Studio. Your connector activities are displayed in the Studio Activities toolbox tab and are available for use.

    After the conclusion of your development work, your connector and connector activities are displayed in the Studio Activities toolbox tab, as shown in Figure 2.

    Note: Do not attempt to deploy a connector project directly to an appliance, as this will result in an error. For best results, only deploy connector projects that are displayed as endpoints inside Studio.

What to do next

In the next section, you perform runtime validation and test your endpoints.
