Remote Resource Manager

In the Remote Resource Manager, Nexus can be added as a Remote Resource to make data available.

  3. Select the specific version and branch of the object from the Info panel.

  4. Use the More menu to Download the selected object.

Once downloaded, the object will appear in the Remote Resources Manager dialog with a marked status:

The green tick indicates that this object is the latest version in the selected branch.

The exclamation mark means a new version is available in this branch for this object.

The Status will also be shown in the Layers panel for the loaded window layers.

If another user uploads a new version of the file to the Nexus project, a notification will be displayed in the Notifications section of the Nexus status dropdown.

Subsequently, the status of the object will be changed in the Layers panel:

You can update the object to the latest version directly from the Remote Resource Manager dialog:

  1. Click Update selected or Update all for multiple layers.

    Source details will show Last modified date for Local and Cloud projects.

    When the updates have been downloaded, the Status will return to up to date.

Upload Files

Alastri users can also upload some files to Micromine Nexus - for example csv reports from Spatial conformetrics - using the Upload file button available from the Nexus Status drop down.

With the file to upload selected in the File explorer, the Upload file button opens the Upload applet.

By default, the linked Nexus project root is set as the upload Destination. You can modify this if required, or add another Destination to upload the file to multiple locations.

You can also add a description, change the name and select the specific Object type and relevant attributes in the Attributes tab of the Info panel.

Click Upload to upload the selected file/s to Nexus.
