The repository is a local storage directory on the computer on which ibaManagementStudio Server is running. This storage directory is intended for installer files of iba software, which you can then install on the connected systems via the web client.

In the settings in ibaManagementStudio Server Status, you can set the synchronization mode for this repository as well as the storage location, see Settings in ibaManagementStudio Server Status. The selected synchronization mode is also visible in the web client in the main menu under Repository. Synchronization always takes place in the background.

No synchronization

In the mode None, the repository is not synchronized automatically. This means that ibaManagementStudio does not check the iba Cloud or the import folder to see if there are any new installer files.

If you add new installer files via the web client in the main menu under Repository, ibaManagementStudio recognizes these new files. ibaManagementStudio also recognizes manually added installer files if you observe the correct folder structure in the storage location of the repository.

Local import folder

If you select this mode, specify a directory from which ibaManagementStudio can copy installer files to the File repository directory. This can, for example, be the directory of the supplied data medium that contains the installer files for the iba software.

ibaManagementStudio then regularly checks whether new installer files are available in this directory and then copies them to the repository folder.

iba Cloud Installer repository

ibaManagementStudio offers a Cloud service in which iba AG provides the latest installer files in a cloud. If you select the iba Cloud installation directory mode, ibaManagementStudio checks daily whether new installer files are available there and then loads them into the repository folder.

ibaManagementStudio only downloads the latest installer files of the iba software that is installed on the connected systems.

In the web client in the main menu under Action history, you can see when ibaManagementStudio with the username ibaMgS has downloaded which installer file.

An internet connection is required for this function and you must agree to the terms of use, see Settings in ibaManagementStudio Server Status.
