Results

You have successfully registered your Git repository. TCA validates the connection to the Git repository from the respective TCA-CPs of the associated VIMs. If validation succeeds, the Git repository is successfully registered. When you create a GitOps configuration for any of the associated VIMs, this Git repository is available to be selected.

Note:

Note:

  • When editing an existing Git repository on the Partner System page and dissociating a VIM, validation is performed to ensure that this Git repository is not used by this VIM's GitOps configuration if it exists. Otherwise, the operation will not be allowed.

  • VIM deletion is not allowed on the Virtual Infrastructure page if the VIM is associated with any Git repository.
