Install Step Component Variables

To specify component variable values for top-level components in a plan, it is no longer necessary to select component variable sets only in the Plan Run screen of the browser user interface, or to specify existing component variable sets only at plan run time using the command line interface. In this release of the Sun N1 Service Provisioning System, you can supply component variable values in the <install> step of a plan.

As plan author, you no longer have to wait until the plan is accessible in the browser user interface or the command line interface. To be able to supply component variable values in the <install> step of a plan, the following elements have been provided.

• <compVarSet>

• <compVarList>

Both elements can be used for the same target component. The <compVarSet> element enables you specify an existing named variable setting for the target component. The <compVarList> element enables you to override one or more specific variables for the target component.
