Adding or Editing Runtime Context Variables (optional)

Variables may be added to define runtime specific context variables. String, Environment, System, or Encrypted variables may be added.

Procedure

  1. Select a variable type from the Add Variable drop down if you wish to add or edit a variable.
    Editing a Variable

    You can add a string variable to change pre-existing context variables like: ARCHIVE_DETECTION_FREQUENCY.

    Add or Edit a String Variable

    ARCHIVE_DETECTION_FREQUENCY is the periodic interval (default value is 30 seconds) for detection of deployed archives and report to the broker. The broker uses this data to synchronize the archive with scaling rules.

    These variables are not exposed in the interface elsewhere, but you can change their values. In this case it would be recommendable to set these variable values higher than the time needed to deploy and start an archive.

    Changes are of course optional, because all variables have default values that are usually appropriate for the most common use cases.

    Variable values from the Enabler may be changed as well.

  2. Use the Add from Enabler button to change values of Enabler-specific context variables.
