Overview

To distribute release bundles, JFrog Distribution must be connected to a Mission Control instance. This is automatically done when both Distribution and Mission Control services are in the same JPD. Starting from JFrog Artifactory 7.27.3 and later, this is the default configuration.

If your Mission Control instance is part of another JPD, you will need to register manually it in Distribution.

Registering Mission Control

On restart, Distribution will first attempt to connect to a local Mission Control within its JPD. If it does not have one, it will continue to search for any connected Mission Control from another JPD.

To connect Mission Control outside the JPD to Distribution:

  1. Make sure that a circle of trust has been established between the two JPDs.
  2. Fetch the (public) router URL for the Mission Control JPD. This is usually the base URL of the JPD.

  3. Register the Mission Control URL in Distribution using the following REST API:

    curl -X POST http://<Distribution’s JPD>:8082/distribution/api/v1/system/mc/register -u<admin>:<password> -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"url": "http://<MC’s JPD>:8082"}'

To register a different Mission Control, use the above REST API to overwrite any previously registered Mission Control instances.
