Create a Property Set XML File

A fabric administrator defines property sets in an XML file and uploads them to vRealize Automation.

About this task

If you edit a property set that is already in use in a build profile, vRealize Automation does not automatically update the build profile. A fabric administrator must reload the property set to the build profile.

Procedure

1. Create an XML file.
2. Insert the following version and encoding values into the schema declaration. version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16".
3. Insert a <Doc> element.

   <Doc>
   </Doc>

4. Insert a <CustomProperties> element in the <Doc> element.

   <Doc>
     <CustomProperties>
     </CustomProperties>
   </Doc>

5. Define the attributes of the custom property to include in the property set.

   <Doc>
     <CustomProperties>
       <Property Name=”property_name" DefaultValue=”property_value" Encrypted=”true_or_false" PromptUser="true_or_false"/>
     </CustomProperties>
   </Doc>

   If you do not include the DefaultValue attribute, no default value is stored. If you do not include the Encrypted or PromptUser attributes, they default to false.

6. Repeat 5 step for each property to include in the property set.
7. Save and close the file.

Results

A fabric administrator can now upload your property set XML file to vRealize Automation.
