Custom resource pattern templates

All of the templates that you can use are provided in the CASE package. Custom resource pattern files for full customization of each component are also provided.

For more information about downloading cert-kubernetes, see Preparing a client to connect to the cluster.

Two types of template are provided for production deployments. Simplified templates are used by the deployment script and the OpenShift console to generate a custom resource file. Fully customizable templates can be used to refer to the default values and to copy and paste parameters into your final custom resource file or the CP4BA deployment editor based on Generating the custom resource with the deployment script.

Simplified custom resource templates (descriptors/patterns/ibm_cp4a_cr_production_xxx.yaml files): These templates do not include the component-level configuration sections as they correspond to an operator role that is aware of a pattern. If a pattern is selected in the sc_deployment_patterns parameter, the operator selects the corresponding simplified template. The Cloud Pak operator uses the default values for all of the parameters.
Fully customizable custom resource templates (descriptors/patterns/ibm_cp4a_cr_production_FC_xxx.yaml files): These templates do include the component-level configuration sections with default values for all of the parameters. These values are the values that are used in the simplified templates.

The following table shows the templates in the cert-kubernetes resource folder.

Table 1. Pattern templates
Capabilities	Reference templates
Multiple capabilities with no or few customizations	ibm_cp4a_cr_production_foundation.yaml *
Automation Decision Services	ibm_cp4a_cr_production_decisions_ads.yaml *
Automation Document Processing	ibm_cp4a_cr_production_document_processing.yaml
Automation Workstream Services	ibm_cp4a_cr_production_workstreams.yaml *
Business Automation Application	ibm_cp4a_cr_production_application.yaml *
Business Automation Workflow	Workflow Authoring ibm_cp4a_cr_production_workflow-authoring.yaml * Workflow Server ibm_cp4a_cr_production_workflow.yaml *
FileNet® Content Manager	ibm_cp4a_cr_production_content.yaml *
Operational Decision Manager	ibm_cp4a_cr_production_decisions.yaml *

Where * means you can copy and paste configuration parameters from other templates, including from fully customizable (FC) templates, into your custom resource file (*_my_cr_final.yaml).

Note: All simplified CR templates are well-formed CR YAML files for the capabilities they define. Parameters that need custom values have a value of <Required>, which you must update with a real value before you apply the CR.
