options: # OPTIONAL Modifies how Command Central processes a template during the template application.

# Central returns a warning when a run-time component does not start and continues processing the template.

# of the template application. Cannot use this parameter for product installations 10.1 or lower.

# If set to "false", executing the template continues.
skipOnTemplateError: true|false # OPTIONAL Default: false; If set to "true", does not execute the action if the template application fails.
# If set to "false", executes the action before stopping the template application.
target: POSIX # OPTIONAL Default: POSIX; If "WINDOWS" the action will be executed only on Windows. If "POSIX",
# the action will be executed on "POSIX"-compliant systems. Note that the "target" parameter is used only for
# local actions. All remote actions are executed in a "POSIX" environment.
