Use properties files to manage system configuration
Overview
- Manage environment configurations with properties files
- Extract properties files
- Validate properties files
- Apply properties files
- Run administrative commands using properties files
- Extract or modify properties for a WCCM object type
- Apply portable properties files across multiple environments
- Manage specific configuration objects with properties files
Background
A properties file extracted from a configuration contains the following information about the configuration:
- Required properties for creating a new object of any type.
- Default values for a property.
- Range of values for a property.
Properties files are portable. We can extract a properties file from one cell, modify some environment-specific variables at the bottom of the extracted properties file, and then apply the modified properties file to another cell.
To use non-English, localized special characters in properties files, save the properties files using UTF-8 encoding. Using any other encoding might cause errors when the product resolves the non-English resources during properties file validation or cause incorrect value changes in the configuration files after applying the properties files.
