Importing an image from an OpenText Media Management repository

If there is a Media Management repository available at the company, you can import image assets from this repository and store local copies in the resource set.

To access the Media Management repository, you must set up a Media Management connection profile. Optionally, to provide secure access to the repository, you can add a secure channel profile (using SSL) with a certificate store profile to the profile configuration.

You create the profiles as resources in a resource set. In the resource set, the profile resources are contained within a profile configuration resource.

For general information about profile configurations, see Connection, authentication, and security profiles in the Profile configurations documentation.

For detailed information about the Media Management connection profile, see Media Management connection profiles in the Profile configurations documentation.

Prerequisites and recommendations

•	The connection information (URL, port, log in details, etc.) for the Media Management repository must be available.

•	A Project must not contain more than one profile configuration resource (containing the required profile resources).

•	We recommend a separate resource set for the profile configuration resource.

•	Each profile resource within the profile configuration resource must have a unique name.
