Configuring the is-layer Template
To configure the is-layer default template, you should:
1. Read the readme.md file, included in the is-layer zip archive, to understand the requirements and typical use cases for the template.
2. Read the Understanding the is-layer Template Definition to understand the design of the is-layer template definition and how Command Central processes each section of the template.
3. Configure the is-layer template using an external properties files:
a. Copy the sample.properties file to a location that you can later add under a version control system.
b. Rename the sample.properties file.
c. Open the renamed file in a text editor and specify values for the required properties.
When you configure the environment properties in a separate file, you can apply the same template definition with different environment properties to create different types of environments.
Important:
Do not edit or modify the template.yaml file of the is-layer default template in any way. If you want to use the template.yaml file of the is-layer template to create a custom template definition, for example add user-defined layers or inline templates, you must create a custom composite template as described in Creating a Custom Composite Template.
