10 (Optional) Add an APPD_UPDATE_PROPS property in the update script to view a list of all the
changed properties.
The update script is not saved and it applies to that particular update process only. You cannot use
APPD_UPDATE_PROPS as a property name or as a qualifier for a property name.
For example, the sample MySQL service update script includes the APPD_UPDATE_PROPS
property to update the database port and password.
11 (Optional) Add an APPD_PREV property in the update script to view the previous value of a property.
The update script is not saved and it applies to that particular update process only. You cannot use
APPD_PREV as a property name or as a qualifier for a property name.
For example, the sample MySQL service update script includes the APPD_PREV property to view the
value of the database password.

(Optional) Click the Expand Cluster button ( ) to expand the clustered node, select a custom task,
and drag the task onto each node.
If you modify a service property or an application component property on a clustered node, the
changes are applied to all of the nodes. You can configure the task properties in the Add Custom
Task dialog box and save your changes.
13 Review the modified clustered node and update script in the update execution plan.
The blue dotted lines in the execution plan define a specific order in which the deployment tasks will
run.
Click the down arrow next to the configuration update script to view script details or the variable
definitions used in the script.
14 Review the modified clustered node and update script in the rollback execution plan and click Next.
The blue dotted lines in the execution plan define a specific order in which the deployment tasks will
run.
Click the down arrow next to the configuration update script to view script details or the variable
definitions used in the script.
15 Review the changed and impacted components in the update.
The modified properties and dependent properties are highlighted.
16 Click Update to deploy the modified configuration for the application.
The update process deploys the configured deployment to the cloud.
What to do next
Review the status of the deployment from the deployment summary page. See Using the Deployment
