Alibaba Cloud DevOps:Generic artifact management

Last Updated:Jun 16, 2026

Upload, download, version, and organize artifacts in a generic repository.

Prerequisites

A generic repository is created. For more information, see Create a repository.

Use a generic repository

In your generic repository, click User Guide. The guide explains how to upload and download artifacts manually, via a CI/CD pipeline, and by using the API.

To upload an artifact from the artifacts page, in the Upload Artifact dialog box, enter a Path (for example, /myproject/mypath), select a File, specify a Version, and click Confirm Upload. To download an artifact from its details page, select the target version (for example, V2.0.0) from the Version drop-down list.

View and manage generic artifacts

On the repository's home page, click Artifacts to view all artifacts. Click the image icon to search by artifact name.

View artifact version details

Click an Artifact Name to view the artifact's details. By default, the page displays information for the latest version. Click the image icon to switch versions.

The version details include fields such as Pushed by, Pushed time, md5, Storage size, Downloads, Last downloaded, and Version description. At the bottom of the page, you can find a Download This Version button, a Delete This Version button, and a Disable Artifact switch.

Disable an artifact version

On the artifact details page, click the Disable Artifact switch to disable that version.

Note

Disabling applies only to a specific version, not the entire artifact. For example, if you disable the myweb-demo-1.0.jar version, it can no longer be downloaded. However, other versions, such as opt/myweb-demo-2.0.jar, remain available for download and use.

Manage artifact metadata

On the artifact details page, click the Metadata tab to manage metadata for the current version. Metadata applies only to the specific version you are viewing.

In the Custom Metadata section, manage metadata entries using the Key and Value columns. You can edit or delete existing entries, or click Add Metadata to create a new one.

Delete an artifact version

On the artifact details page, click Delete This Version.

To restore a deleted artifact version, go to the repository's home page and click Artifact Recycle Bin. Then, click the image icon to restore the version.

To permanently delete the artifact version, go to the artifact recycle bin and click the Delete icon in the Actions column for that version.
