Bamboo Properties Configuration Task

You can use the Properties Configuration Task in Bamboo Jobs to replace specially formatted text placeholders in DataStage configuration files (e.g. DSParams) with environment-specific values as part of the MettleCI-automated deployment process. The replacement values can be taken from Plan Variables (e.g. ${bamboo.buildResultKey}) and / or MettleCI Override files.

Placeholders are written in the following format: ${PlanVariableNameOrOverrideFileReference}

Using the Properties Configuration Task user interface

1. Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).

2. Click the name of an existing Properties Configuration Task or click Add Task and then search 'Properties Configuration' to easily locate the Properties Configuration Task type, in order to create a new task.

3. Complete the following settings:

*.apt
DSParams
Parameter Sets/*/*

4. Click Save
