Tokenizing Application Properties for exporting in the Properties file
To tokenize application properties, a new button Tokenize the property is added in the Properties view for application properties.
![](GUID-656C639C-93E4-452A-946F-D29E6F3D406E-display.png)
After tokenization, the property value is set in the format #property_name#. Once the user tokenizes a property, the original default value for the property is lost.
The Tokenize the property button is available only for applications with the Deployment Target set as Container. When you open Export Profile wizard, the tokenized values are already selected.
For more information about how to export tokenized properties to Consul server, see "Exporting Tokenized Properties to Consul Server from TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks™" topic in the TIBCO BusinessWorks™ Container Edition Application Development guide.
Follow the steps to tokenize the application or module properties and export them in properties files.
