• The value for the password type property can be in plain text or encrypted. The "value" field of the
password type property is not exported for security reasons. The defined value is imported as is, and
the REST API determines whether it is in plain text or encrypted.
• In the definition file, define only properties for which you want to set values. The values of properties
that are not defined in the imported file remain unchanged. When exporting step properties, the type
field is only output for the service component.
key=value format:
To specify property values for a key=value property file, use the following format:
property-key=property-value [line break]
Following are definition details of the key=value format:
• Specify a property name and a property value on each line.
• Lines starting with a hash mark (#) are handled as comment lines.
• Lines that do not contain an equal mark "=" are handled as comment lines.
• A line break needs to be added at the end of each property setting line.
• Do not add line breaks in the middle of the property name and property value lines.
• Characters are case-sensitive.
• Even when a "\" is contained in strings like service and plug-in resource files, you do not must type "\\".
• "\" is handled as a "\".
• The characters at the beginning of a line up to the first equal sign (=) are treated as a property name.
Do not trim lines before and after the property setting line.
• The characters after the equal sign (=) after the property name, until the end of the line are treated as
the property value. Do not trim lines before and after the property setting line.
• The end-of-line character at the end of the property file (EOF) is optional.
• Empty lines (lines containing line breaks only) are ignored.
• Both CR+LF and LF can be used as line breaks.
• When using the property-key = [line break] format, set an empty value for the property
value.
key@FILE=file-path format
In this format, the property key is stored in the property file, and the property value is stored in the
property value file and referenced separately. Note that this format can be used together with the
key=value format in the property file:
property-key@FILE=absolute-path-of-the-property-value-file or relative-path-from-the-property-file [line break]
The definitions in the key@FILE=file-path format are the same as the key=value format. The differences
from the key=value format are as follows:
