External bundle repositories [Settings]
The external bundle repositories are bundle repositories that are available outside of WAS. Use this panel to configure a link (name and URL) to an external bundle repository. The provisioner can then retrieve from the repository any bundles that are pulled in by reference by your OSGi applications.
When you import an enterprise bundle archive (EBA) file as an asset, or update an asset to use new bundle versions, or add a composite bundle as an extension to a composition unit, provisioning ensures that all the required OSGi bundles are available. An OSGi application can use bundles from external repositories, bundles from the internal repository, and bundles that are included in an EBA file or a composite bundle archive (CBA) file.
To view this panel in the administrative console, click the following path:
