Template Files

DirX Access ships a set of template files for the most common configuration, system action and shadow user tree scenarios. They are located in {installation_folder}/Services/instances/{instance}/etc/templates/ after Running the Installer.

Every template is a valid file for the Direct Application of System Actions, Configuration and Shadow User Tree, with the environment-specific values replaced by ${variable} placeholders.

The templates are applied in two ways:

  • Implicitly, by the DirX Access Installer. Depending on the selected deployment approach, a subset of the templates is rendered with the installation properties and written into the startup folder of the new instance. See Startup Folder Prepared by the Installer for the list of the templates used per approach and for the values substituted into them.

  • Explicitly, by the administrator. Any template can be copied, customized - all placeholders have to be resolved manually - and either placed into the startup folder or applied at run time through the Config and SysActions RESTful Web Services.

The following sections describe the individual templates:
