maven-metadata.xml not getting auto generated in artifactory

Question

I have setup a local maven repo in Artifactory(artifactory-oss-6.9.1) that stores some SNAPSHOTS. Please see the config below

I am uploading different builds using cURL -

curl -u admin:password -T XXX/target/XXX-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/bahbah/DataProcessing/DataManager/4.0-SNAPSHOT/DataManager-4.0-20110108.100922-4.zip"

curl -u admin:password -T XXX/target/XXX-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/bahbah/DataProcessing/DataManager/4.0-SNAPSHOT/DataManager-4.0-20110108.100922-5.zip"

curl -u admin:password -T XXX/target/XXX-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/bahbah/DataProcessing/DataManager/4.0-SNAPSHOT/DataManager-4.0-20110108.100922-6.zip"

The maven-metadata.xml file which should have been generated automatically, is not getting generated.

Please help!

Why are you using curl instead of maven to upload the artifacts? — J Fabian Meier

To trigger the maven-metadata.xml calculation you will also need to deploy a Maven .pom file.
For the example you have included in your question you will need to deploy at least a minimal .pom file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>DataProcessing</groupId>
  <artifactId>DataManager</artifactId>
  <version>4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</project>

You can use the following curl command:

curl -u admin:password -T  DataManager-4.0.pom "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/bahbah/DataProcessing/DataManager/4.0-SNAPSHOT/DataManager-4.0-SNAPSHOT.pom"
