Download libraries from orchestrator to work on locally

Hello, I am having trouble opening a library package that I downloaded from orchestrator. I followed similar steps as the processes… where I downloaded the NUPKG file then extracted with 7zip to a folder but once I open the project the object repo is empty and there is nothing under ‘Project UI Descriptors’

The purpose is to continue editing the object repo my team members uploaded to orchestrator without having to republish it as another library.

@anan.deneke

you cannot access them like that…

ideally you need to use a repo and s3tore the actual code…make changes and publish again

cheers

Hi @Anil_G
We create an object repo in its own library project separate from our process projects, is there a way to download the object repo/library the same way we do with process projects directly from orchestrator to continue work?

Hi @anan.deneke
As a best practice, I’ll recommend having your codes on a repo (Azure, bitbucket…).

If you still need to use the .nukpg then follow next steps:
1-Download the package
2-Change the extension from .nupkg to .zip
3-Create a new folder with the required library name
4-From the zip folder
4.1-Workflows: Copy the files from the ‘content’ folder
4.2-Object Repo: Copy the folder ‘.objects’ from the ‘contentFiles/any/any/’ folder

5-Open the project

Note: If Object repo, is still not visible; review if Modern Design Experience setting is active

I dont think you can as of now…

That too after migration to windows it is even more difficult

Hi @Eric_Alvarado ,

Following the steps you mentioned I am able to see the object repo now but it is a different version from the one I downloaded, and if I republish it publishes as a new library instead

@anan.deneke Make sure, to download the correct package version.
Try, checking the latest published package version in Orch and increase the number; also, verified if the name matches.

Also, make sure to copy the original project.json from the ‘content’ folder

Thanks @Eric_Alvarado, that worked!
