Understanding the RPD configuration file
The RPD configuration file consists of information to replace variables, connection pool users, datasources and passwords within the RPD. An example file is below:
Make sure to remove any spaces from the strings or use environment instance property overrides like the example below as spaces will break the property file reader.
#Property Replacement File
# The format is
# What Type of Replacement:Name Key:Value
connectionpool_ds:BSC=${{OBI_BSC_DSN}}
connectionpool_user:BSC=${{OBI_BSC_USER}}
connectionpool_pass:BSC=${{OBI_BSC_PASSWORD}}
#You can also replace variable values like this:
#variable:name:value
variable:BI_EE_HOME=${{FD_ORACLE_BI_HOME}}
The Red text above is the property type. The property types in the table below are the available options to replace in the RPD.
| Property Type | Description |
|---|---|
| variable | Indicates this line is to replace an RPD variable value. |
| connectionpool_user | Indicates this line is to replace a connection pool user. |
| connectionpool_ds | Indicates this line is to replace a connection pool datasource. |
| connectionpool_pass | Indicates this line is to replace a connection pool password. |
The Green text above is the property key. In this case this will either be the variable name or the connection pool name which you want to edit.
The Purple text above is the value to be replaced as the datasource reference on deployment.
