Creating customized manifest files

The manifest (.rmd) file organizes and maintains the data needed to restore the RAS asset structure and files in the RAS asset consumer's workspace. The manifest file provides documentation for the RAS asset consumer and is searched for matching search keywords when a consumer searches a repository for assets.

When you export the asset, you can use the default manifest file, or create a customized file based on the profile types for the asset.
To create a customized manifest file:
  1. Click File > New > Other to open the New wizard.
  2. Expand RAS, select RAS Manifest, and click Next. You may need to select the Show All Wizards check box if you do not see the RAS folder.
  3. In the RAS Manifest window, select any storage folder, optionally you may change the default Asset.rmd name.
  4. Next, from the list in the Profile to use for the manifest field, select the desired profile type for your manifest file, and click Next. Your manifest file is created and opens in the manifest editor.
