You can use the manage-profile tool to substitute different variables in server profiles.
The manage-profile tool uses the format ${VARIABLE} to support the substitution of variables in profiles. This format can be escaped by using another $. For example, after substitution, $${VARIABLE} becomes ${VARIABLE}.
Variable values can be read from a profile variables file or from environment variable values. If both options are used, the values that are specified in the file overwrite any environment variables.
The following code provides an example profile variables file.
PING_SERVER_ROOT=value
PING_PROFILE_ROOT=anothervalue
In this example, the tool provides the PING_SERVER_ROOT
and PING_PROFILE_ROOT
variables. When used in a
server profile, ${PING_SERVER_ROOT} evaluates
to the absolute path to the server's root directory. Similarly,
${PING_PROFILE_ROOT} evaluates to the individual
profile's root directory.
For more information about the tool's usage, run the command bin/manage-profile --help.
