Set-Properties
Command Reference
Description
Sets the properties for the object.
Stores the configuration data for the Managed-Entity object.
Access
Managed-Entity includes this base implementation for storing property data driven by the following parameter.
- entity.properties.file: This property references the file where property data will be stored. By default it is stored as ${entity.instance.dir}/var/entity.properties.
The locations for this property above can be modified via the framework configuration file, ${ctl.base}/etc/entity.properties.
Data Format
CTL uses Java properties as its own data format but you are not required to follow that convention. Since it is only your commands that load and interpret the data, you are free to choose alternative formats such as XML, YAML, CSV, etc.
If you do choose, another format, be sure to override the Properties command to provide a pretty format for it.
Usage
ctl -t Managed-Entity -o <objectname> -c Set-Properties [-argline <>] -executable <> [-failonerror <false>] [-os <>] [-output <>] [-script <>] [-scriptfile <>] -strategy <shellutil> [-timeout <>]
