Properties Override File
Properties sent from FlexDeploy can be overridden by adding a FlexDeployPropertiesOverride.properties override file to the <Agent home>/config folder. There is an example file included with the installation.
The purpose of this file is to not have to store the passwords in FlexDeploy and have them passed over HTTPS. They are only locally on this endpoint.
This properties file uses Java properties file syntax. The key is the code of a property, the value is the value to use when overriding. Take a look at these examples:
FDEBS_APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME=XXHR FDEBS_SQL_RETRY_COUNT=25
Now when the EBS Plugin is executed against this endpoint, the value of FDEBS_APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME will be XXHR, and the value of FDEBS_SQL_RETRY_COUNT will be 25 no matter what value was set in FlexDeploy itself.
This will work for project properties, but for Target or Integration account properties there is a slightly different syntax. Put the code for that Target (or integration) a dot and then the name of the property. See this example:
EBS.FDEBS_DB_PASSWORD=databasepassword MY_GIT_ACCOUNT.FDGIT_PASSWORD=gitpassword
Now the EBS password for the EBS Target and the git password for MY_GIT_ACCOUNT will be overridden.
This file is read in during each plugin execution, so no restart of the agent is required when updating the file.
setenvoverride File
If a setenvoverride.sh (or setenvoverride.bat) file is included in the <Agent home>/config folder, it will be run before tomcat is started in order to configure some environment variables. The following variables are supported.
Variable | Description |
---|---|
| The Java path where Tomcat will be run from. This is distinct from the Java path used in the endpoint configuration. The agent will attempt to derive this value from the system path, but sometimes that doesn’t work correctly. You can set it here to override that. |
| This will set the maximum memory size for the Tomcat server. Will be forwarded as the -Xmx java argument. If none is set defaults to 2048m. |
| This will be set the initial memory size for the Tomcat server. Will be forwarded as the -Xms java argument. If none is set defaults to 512m. |
| Any extra Java arguments. |
