Configuring Nexus with the Talend Administration Center Zip file

After the installation of Nexus, you can use the Zip file provided with Talend Administration Center to configure your instance.

Procedure

Unzip the Talend Administration Center Zip file, then unzip the Artifact-Repository-Nexus-VA.B.C.D.E archive file.
Inside the Artifact-Repository-Nexus-VA.B.C.D.E archive file, the migration-A.B.C folder contains the migration script as well as a .properties file.
Copy the <NewNexusInstallationDirectory>\migration-A.B.C folder to the location of your choice.
Open the migration-A.B.C\nexus.properties file and check the URL, port, and login connection information. Also check the version format. Update these parameters if needed and save your changes.
Launch Nexus.
Log into the Sonatype Nexus Repository Web application. In the nexus.properties file, you can find the application URL. After the first connection, it is strongly recommended to change the default credentials of the default administrator account.
Browse to the migration-A.B.C folder and execute the following command: java -jar <nexus-init-A.B.C.jar> in which <nexus-init-A.B.C.jar> corresponds to the .jar file name that is in the migration-A.B.C folder. For example: java -jar nexus-init-8.0.1.jar.

Refresh Nexus website, in the Users tab, you can see the following users:

talend-custom-libs-admin (password: talend-custom-libs-admin): this user is used in Talend Administration Center Configuration > User Libraries group. Talend Studio gets the configuration information from Talend Administration Center to upload and download third-party libraries.

Talend Administration Center downloads the patch from Talend Update Server and use this account to upload the patch to Nexus. Talend Studio can download the patch from Nexus without credentials.
