Customizing Centralized Properties

This feature gives the ability to add, modify, and remove properties in one file. The properties are propagated to the specified property files. The template process, which is part of the initialSetup step, will look at the files in etc/cm_properties.ini (this can be created as a Customer Customization). If the file exists, the content will be processed for the relevant properties.

NOTE: Product teams might use this file format: etc/<PROD>_properties.ini (where <PROD> could be one of the list of installed products included in etc/PRODUCT.txt). If it exists, it will be processed as well.

Example cm_properties.ini

The following denote the type of entries that could be included in cm_properties.ini and relevant type of action:

• <PROPERTIES_FILE>:<PROPERTY_NAME>=<VALUE>

• Override <PROPERTY_NAME> in <PROPERTIES_FILE> with <VALUE> if it exists.

• Insert <PROPERTY_NAME> in <PROPERTIES_FILE> with <VALUE> it does not exist.

• <PROPERTY_NAME>=<VALUE>

• Override <PROPERTY_NAME> in all property files with <VALUE>, if <PROPERTY_NAME> exists.

• <PROPERTIES_FILE>:<PROPERTY_NAME>=[DELETE]

• Remove <PROPERTY_NAME> from <PROPERTIES_FILE> if it exists.

• <PROPERTY_NAME>=[DELETE]

• Remove <PROPERTY_NAME> from all property files, if <PROPERTY_NAME> exists.

Template example: hibernate.service.properties.template

hibernate.user = @DBUSER@

hibernate.pass = @DBPASS@

hibernate.ucp.validate_connection = true

Sample ENVIRON.INI

The following is an example ENVIRON>INI:

DBUSER=cisadm

Sample cm_properties.ini

The following is the content of an example cm_properties.ini:

hibernate.service.properties.template:hibernate.user=clouduser

hibernate.password=cloudpwd

hibernate.iws.properties.template:hibernate.user=clouduser

hibernate.service.properties.template:hibernate.ucp.validate_connection=[DELETE]

hibernate.service.properties.template:new.property=test

Result of hibernate.service.properties generated properties file

The following is a sample result of hibernate.service.properties generated properties file:

### The following line was overridden because <PROD>_properties.ini file setting:

hibernate.user=clouduser

### The following line was overridden because <PROD>_properties.ini file setting:

hibernate.password=cloudpwd

### The following line was deleted because <PROD>_properties.ini file setting:

# hibernate.ucp.validate_connection = true

### The following line was appended because <PROD>_properties.ini file setting:

new.property = test

Result of hibernate.iws.properties generated properties file

The following is a sample result of hibernate.iws.properties generated properties file:

### The following line was overridden because <PROD>_properties.ini file setting:

hibernate.user=clouduser

### The following line was overridden because <PROD>_properties.ini file setting:

hibernate.password=cloudpwd
