Manage InsuranceSuite variables

To apply new, changed, or deleted variables, deploy the affected IS applications.

Note:

To keep the current version and branch, don't change the values in Branch and Build # / Dockerize #.

To manage variables:

1. Select a star system.

2. From Apps, select Variables or select it from your pinned apps.

Add a variable

Warning:

Don’t store confidential properties as variables. To use a secure method, create a secret.

To add configuration property value:

1. Specify the range of planet and application pairs to which the variable applies.

   Select values from the Planet and Application lists. You can select multiple planets and applications.

   In Planet, select All to apply a variable to all planets in a star system. Note that if there's a variable for a specific planet for the same key and application, this variable takes priority over the All wildcard.

2. In Key, provide the variable name.

   You can use upper and lower case letters, digits, and the following characters:

   • Underscore (_)
   • Dash (-)
   • Period (.)

   Don't start a variable name with a digit.

   A variable name must be unique. Don't use a variable name if a secret with the same key already exists.

   Example: some_key4

3. In Value, provide the variable value.

   Use up to 12288 characters.

   Use NAMESPACE prefixes to identify the affected configuration files. For details, see Placeholder variables.

   Example: The following configuration sets the 8 value for the MinPasswordLength property in the config.xml file:

   • Name: CONFIG_MINPASSWORDLENGTH
   • Value: 8

4. Select + Add variable.

5. Deploy the affected applications.

Clone variables

To copy sets of variables between planets in a star system:

1. Select Clone variables.
2. Select the source planet.
3. From the To planet list, select the target planet.
4. Select Clone.
5. Deploy the affected applications.

Note:

If the target planet contains the same variables as the source planet, you can choose to override the existing value or cancel the operation. When you confirm, you add new variables and override the values of existing variables. When you cancel, no variables are added or updated.

Edit a variable

To edit the value of a variable:

1. In the table, find the variable that you want to edit.
2. Select Edit.
3. In Value, enter a new value.
4. Select Save.
5. Deploy the affected applications.

Delete a variable

To delete a variable from the database:

1. In the table, find the variable you want to delete.
2. Select Delete.
3. Select Delete.
4. Deploy the affected applications.

Delete all variables

To delete all variables in a planet:

1. Select Delete variables.
2. Select the planet in which you want to delete all variables.
3. Select Delete.
