THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
Repository Scanning in Archiva
Scanning of a repository is done periodically to ascertain what has changed in the repository.
- On the first scan, the entire repository is scanned.
- On subsequent scans, only content that is new or changed since the last scan is picked up.
- The scan is required to pick up content that arrives into the repository via non-monitored means.
- Content that arrives via a WebDAV PUT is automatically processed.
- Content that arrives via a Proxy Request is automatically processed.
The Scan Lifecycle.
- All content falls into 3 categories CONSUMED, IGNORED, UNKNOWN.
- CONSUMED content is content that is managed by Archiva.
- IGNORED content consists of generated content or transient content.
- UKNOWN content is what falls throught the cracks in the above 2 categories. Typically, this means the content doesn't conform to the repository structure, or is generally unknown.
...
- Perform a SCAN with an inclusion filter of
"*/"and an exclusion filter containing those elements predetermined to be IGNORED. - On identification of a file, attempt to resolve it to an Artifact object.
- If a valid Artifact object is created, flag as CONSUMED, store it in the Database.
- If not able to convert to an Artifact object, flag as UNKNOWN, create report entry in ARTIFACT_HEALTH database table.
