In general you should set entitities up in the order that they appear above. The entities are described in detail below.

Repositories

Repositories are maven repositories, accessible to moves over http/https. An example is the the SAIS Group repository at https://mv-ezproxy-com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/nexus/content/groups/saisGroupRepo^{Image Added}. Maven has a well defined format, which specifies where to find an application within a repository. Each Application has an 'ArtifactId', a 'GroupId' and a 'Version'. So, for example, moves itself has artifactId=sais-moves-web, groupId=edu.mit.ist.es, versionId=2.0.0. Maven will translate this, by default into a final location of https://mv-ezproxy-com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/nexus/content/groups/saisGroupRepo/edu/mit/ist/es/sais-moves-web/2.0.0/sais-moves-web-2.0.0.war^{Image Added}" The properties you need to configure for a repository are:
You just need to tell it the server, port, protocol and base url. In our example, this would be

• server (e.g. maven.mit.edu)
• port (e.g. null - if port is null, moves uses the default port for the protocol supplied)
• protocol (e.g. https)
• base url (e.g. /nexus/content/groups/saisGroupRepo)

Environments

Environments are really just a lookup that identifies the function of containers within a stack. The standard environments are 'Production', 'QA', and 'Development'. These are already set up when Moves is deployed, so they will not need to be changed. However, we allow creation of new future environments (for example 'Continuous Integration' or 'Staging').

(This is a business rule, Moves will allow you to associate multiple

Moves knows how to parse this information out.
Moves can now automatically detect which versions of an application are in the repository, allowing a user to confidently select a version from a list, instead of typing in an unvalidated string.

Behind the scenes it constructs a regular expression from but in the event that you need to

http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/nexus/content/groups/saisGroupRepo/edu/mit/ist/es/common/sais-common/2.2/^{Image Added}
Armed with these pieces of information, Moves knows where to look for an application.

For example, moves itself has the Artifact Id

/edu/mit/ist/es/common/sais-common/2.2/

that contain web applications to be deployed. Repositories are typically maven repositories.
