Creating a User-Defined Micro Template
Before you can use micro templates, you must install and configure Command Central as described in this help. You can also use the
sagdevops-cc-server project to automate setting up Command Central.
You can model the user-defined micro template after a sample micro template, for example see the samples in the
sagdevops-templates.git project.
2. Import the user-defined micro templates in Command Central from the Templates view in the Command Central web user interface or with the
sagcc exec templates composite import command. 3. Create a layer type definition for the imported micro template:
In the Command Central web user interface, go to
Layer Definitions on the
Configuration tab for the
Command Central Server that hosts the imported template
sagcc create configuration data sag01 OSGI-CCE-ENGINE CCE-LAYER-TYPES
--input c:\inputs\layer_data.xml --password secret
The input file specifies layer details, such as the name of the layer type instance, the type of the layer, and the alias of the micro template to which the layer refers. You can also specify if the layer is scalable, that is if you can add more nodes after creating the layer. To determine how to specify the data in the input file, use
sagcc get configuration data to retrieve data for the same type of configuration instance you want to create. For example, run the following command to get the configuration data for the
CCE-LAYER-TYPES-runtime-existing configuration instance.
sagcc get configuration data local OSGI-CCE-ENGINE RUNTIME-EXISTING --format xml
You can also use a micro template to create the layer type configuration instances. See the sample layer definitions template at
sag-cc-layer-defsAfter importing the micro templates, you can use them to create layers and add them in a product stack using:
