6 From the Auto-Bind Type drop-down menu, select an Auto-Bind type.
The Auto-Bind Type describes the role that a property is assigned to for autobinding in the blueprint
canvas.
Option Description
None The property does not Auto-Bind.
Consume The property value is set with autobinding.
Expose The property can be used to customize another property value with autobinding.
Note A property cannot have the Consume and Expose roles.
An Auto-Bind type of Consume or Expose requires at least one Auto-Bind tag to be defined for the
property. Auto-Bind tags on the Consume property must be a subset of the tags on the Expose
property. The tag sets do not have to be equal.
7 Select the Required check box for properties that are required to deploy an application.
If any of the required property values are left blank, you are prompted to complete them before an
application deployment.
If the property type is Computed, the Required check box is not applicable. If the property type is
Content, the Required check box is selected by default and the Secured check box is not applicable.
For example, for an http_proxy_port property using the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP), you must set
the value to 8009.
8 Select the Secured check box for passwords you define or to obscure the values of other properties.
If a property is changed from Secured to Unsecured, Application Services resets the property value,
for security purposes. You must set a new value for the property.
