Pega Community - Unable to deploy package
Hi,
I am following the Pega Robot Manager course from Pega Academy
I have the following versions of the products;
Pega Robot Studio v22.1
Pega Robot Manager v8.8.2
As far as I understand, this version of Pega Robot Studio does not use Pega Package Server in order to deploy packages, and I would have to upload the package directly to Robot Manager through Robot Studio.
When trying to do the above, I face the error:
"Failed to upload deployment package file to server. Found a blank repository from application settings."
a) Is there a preconfigured default repository that comes with Pega Community Edition? I see a "communityeditions3" repository, but when I try to validate it, it says "Directory does not exist"
b) What would be the best way to set up a new repository (ideally locally hosted on my machine).

@AsadS16887606I am not sure if it is possible to use a repository hosted on your local machine, but I don't believe it is. You can use the defaultstore configured in the trial versions of Pega Platform. I am not sure how exactly to access the actual files, but you really shouldn't need to if you're simply using it as a repository. Runtime will be able to download it, and you can see them and assign them and everything else through Robot Manager. Note that your Ruleset will differ from mine. These should be the applications settings in your application.

Thank you for the response! I got it working now!
Just for info; Is it a good practice to use the defaultstore when deploying actual projects or is it preferred to use a repository like Google or Amazon's cloud services? Why or why not

@AsadS16887606 The default store isn't really designed for storing lots of data. It is best to create your own repository and manage it as you would any other storage medium in your organization. For training and limited use though, the default store is fine. As an organization, you want to make sure whatever repository you choose has high-availability and is secured.
