Adding Deployment Package Properties

Add properties to a deployment package for information that may have values specific to that package. If a deployment package is shared by multiple applications, and if all or most of those applications should use the same value for a deployment package level property setting, you should set the value at the package level. For more information, see How Properties Are Resolved.

To create deployment package properties:

  1. Navigate to Management > Deployment Packages > [select package].
  2. Select the Details tab.
  3. Select Properties in the selection box.
  4. Click the Add Property button.
  5. Fill in the fields as shown in the following table.
    Field Description

    Description Property description
    Label Enter a label to be associated with the property in the user interface.

    Specify the type of expected value. The supported types are as follows:
    • text
    • text area
    • check box
    • select
    • multi select
    • secure
    The default type is text.
    Default Value Enter a default value (if any).
  6. Click Save.
To use a property in a deployment package process, reference it when you configure a step that uses it. Use the following syntax: ${p:<property name>}
