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

Procedure

  1. Unzip the Talend Administration Center Zip file, then unzip the Artifact-Repository-Nexus-VA.B.C.D.E archive file.
  2. 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.
  3. Copy the <NewNexusInstallationDirectory>/migration-A.B.C folder to the location of your choice.
  4. 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.
  5. Launch Nexus.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
