Building Command Central Composite Assets

To run the build script to generate the Command Central composite assets from the source configuration assets (YAML templates), in a command line console, go to:

  • <root_path>/bin and run the build script
  • <root_path>/master_build and run ant
  • <root_path>/CC and run ant build.composites

The output of the script is an ACDL descriptor file and a composite file for each template in the source directory.

The ACDL file is named <template_alias>.acdl, where <template_alias> is the alias of the template included in the composite file. The ACDL file lists:

  • The ID of the product(s) on which to apply the configuration properties from the template YAML file included in the composite file.
  • The configuration properties defined in the environments: section of the template YAML file.

The composite file is named <template_alias>.zip, where <template_alias> is the alias in the template YAML file. The .zip composite file contains either a single template YAML file or all files in a <template_alias> subdirectory, that is, the template YAML file and any files to which the template refers, such as the SSH key files.
