Creating Customization Files

The Create Customization File page provides a convenient way to generate a customization file for a set of resources or projects that you select. You can then use this file as a starting point for making your desired modifications by specifying the actual values for an environment.

You can use customization files to make changes to environment values as well as to change references within resources. Customization files can include customizations for all the environment values found in the resources you selected, including complex environment values types defined inside the EnvValueTypes class. In addition, it includes a reference customization type for changing resource references inside resources with dependencies.

The customization schema (Customization.xsd) which describes the customization types is available at the following location in your AquaLogic Service Bus installation:

BEA_HOME\modules\com.bea.common.configfwk_1.1.0.0.jar, where BEA_HOME represents the directory in which you installed AquaLogic Service Bus.
