Manage Bundled Resources

The primary purpose of this service is to allow an Application Publisher to build an Application that includes files (CSV, Excel, WAR or JAR …).

Other uses of this service include embedding configuration data for the Platform 6 Tables service as .csv or .xls files for example.

The Install and Uninstall scripts of the Applications service use this service to deploy/un-deploy Bundled Resources and process the resource content as required.

Permissions

To see the Bundled Resources menu entry on the Portal, you need to have the bundledresources=view Permission.

List Bundled Resources

The Portal presents the user with a list of Bundled Resources.

Edit a Bundled Resource

Double-clicking on a row gives access to the details of the selected Bundled Resource.

A Bundled Resource has a target where it can be deployed and un-deployed under the control of this service (i.e. via the application scripts DSL).

A bundled resources's details

The target roots available are:

  • ${B2BOX_DATA}
  • ${TMP}

Additional properties associated with each Bundled resource provide the processing scripts additional information.

Warning

As a reminder, the Save button merely saves the bundled resource but does not deploy it! Please refer to the next section for bundled resource deployment.

Scripting

A Groovy DSL called bundled is available for use from these scripts.
