These load balancer service configure scripts use the array property to configure the appropriate load
balancing scheme on the Red Hat, Windows, and Ubuntu operating systems.
Sample Array Property Script Syntax Sample Usage
operating_systems = ["Red
Hat","Windows","Ubuntu"]
Bash - ${operating_systems[@]}
for the entire array of strings
${operating_systems[N]}
for the individual array element
for (( i = 0 ; i < $
{#operating_systems[@]}; i++ )); do
echo ${operating_systems[$i]}
done
Windows CMD - %operating_systems_N%
where N represents the position of the element
in the array
for /F "delims== tokens=2" %%A in
('set operating_systems_') do (
echo %%A
)
Windows PowerShell - $operating_systems
for the entire array of strings
$operating_systems[N]
for the individual array element
foreach ($os in $operating_systems){
write-output $os
}
Content Property
The content property value is a URL to a file to download content. Software agent downloads the content
from the URL to the virtual machine and passes the location of the local file in the virtual machine to the
script.
Content properties must be defined as a valid URL with the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. For example, the
JBOSS Application Server Software component in the Dukes Bank sample application specifies a content
property cheetah_tgz_url. The artifacts are hosted in the Software appliance and the URL points to that
location in the appliance. The Software agent downloads the artifacts from the specified location into the
deployed virtual machine.
For information about software.http.proxy settings that you can use with content properties, see
Custom Properties Reference.
Sample String Property Script Syntax Sample Usage
cheetah_tgz_url =
"http://app_content_server_ip:port/artifacts/software/jboss/cheetah-2.4.4.tar.gz"
Bash -
$cheetah_tgz_url
tar -zxvf
$cheetah_tgz_url
Windows CMD -
%cheetah_tgz_url%
start /wait
c:\unzip.exe
%cheetah_tgz_url%
Windows PowerShell
- $cheetah_tgz_url
