This operation will create a template connection plan file using the connections found on the current OIC environment instance. This connection plan can be applied during the importConnections operation or importIntegration operation.

Its purpose is to allow environment specific properties to be replaced for connections prior to deployment. This prevents manual updates of the connections artifacts in between deployments to different environments.

Either FDOIC_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_CODE environment instance property value or FDOIC_INP_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_CODE plugin input value should exist. When both exists, plugin input value will take precedence. See Creating/Editing a Cloud Account and Provider for details on how to setup Cloud Account for OIC.

Environment/Instance Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
OIC Account	`FDOIC_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_CODE`	No	The OIC account with all the required properties like Base URI, Username and Password for running OIC Instance.

OIC Account	`FDOIC_INP_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_CODE`	No	The OIC account with all the required properties like Base URI, Username and Password for running OIC Instance.
Connection List	FDOIC_INP_CONNECTION_LIST	No	CSV list of connection ids to use during creation. Leave blank to use all.

Artifacts

This operation doesn’t consume or produce any artifacts.

Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instance.

Endpoint Execution

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.

Special Considerations

Connection Plan Format

The connection plan closely follows Java Properties syntax with the notable exception that spaces to not delimit the key value pairs.

Line Format

%ConnectionId%.(connection|secure).%propertyDisplayName%=%value%

Line Field	Description
ConnectionId	The connectionId on the server. This is typically the connection name found in the UI with spaces replaced by underscores and in all caps. Example: Sample FTP Connection = SAMPLE_FTP_CONNECTION.
connection\|secure	Literal text of either 'connection' or 'secure' to indicate if it is a secure property or normal connection property.
propertyDisplayName	This is the name of the property as seen in the UI.
value	This can literal text or FD Properties.

Sample Properties

Connection Plan Processing

In the sample above we can see we are replacing the FTP Server Host on the SAMPLE_FTP_CONNECTION with ${{FD_OIC_FTP_HOST}}. This means that FD_OIC_FTP_HOST is configured as a FlexDeploy property(most likely an environment instance property) and has a different value for each OIC environment we have. This allows us to dynamically set the FTP Server Host based on environment without ever changing our artifacts.

Empty Properties

Only properties that need to be replaced should be in the connection plan file. If there are lines without a value (as seen above), this will be treated as updating the property to null.
