Hi Erik,
We believe this type of customization can/should be performed by customers in their own environments (for example, by replacing values in configuration files with placeholders and then replacing placeholders in the startup scripts in the container, by reading values from ConfigMap and replacing configuration files with files from ConfigMap or other sources like volume.)
Since this is related to install-able MDM container images which customers configure and the customization can vary from customers to customers, we have decided not to provide this out of the box.
Hope this helps.
Thank You
What we ment is not change the serversetting when the server is running, but at file level.
For example for LDAP change the security.xml in the config\cells\<cell_name> directly before the server is started.
Hi Erik, please see below the initial feedback I received from our development team.
If setting these through WAS deployment script, it will take too long a time for a container to start up and it may not feasible. It will require deep WAS hack to deal with WAS configuration file directly to parameterize these deployment information. We probably don't know which configuration file contains information for database server, ldap server, kafka server, etc. This is not a typical WAS configuration process. Since this is a WAS standalone environment, dealing with configuration file directly should not be a big problem.
When scripts are used to change configuration, we will have to first start the server (x seconds), run the scripts and restart the server (2x seconds). So the startup time will increase, which is not good in a container orchestration platform.
Let me know your thoughts. Thank you.
Hi Erik, thank you for submission. We will investigate and follow up here with status.
