Title: Can i call a config file from batch file and username/password from prompt
Post by: sumiRoot on November 29, 2018, 10:52:11 PM
Hi Kudos,

I have an issue with my deployment file(batch file) which is already automated but there are some steps in that. Which i would like to get it automated.

I have my server details in a environment.properties file which i normally call it from my BATCH file. Problem is that, there are server details with username and password and every time i need to comment out other servers in order to deploy the file in any of 1 server and same for username/password too.

I am thinking to create 1 config file which will contain all the server details with their port excluding username/password. I will make a prompt for username/password for security purpose.

Example:
Below is my environment.properties file which i call it from my automated batch tool for picking server details with their password.

#Env1.
#servername=facebook.com

#Env2.
#servername=gmail.com

portnumber=1111
sslenabled=false

fipsenabled=false
#input and output is a part of deployment step which i just for copy and pasting files
input=in.xml
output=out.xml
#the below is the one would like to ask for prompt
username=admin
password=admin

So the above file can contain more than 2 server details and same for password. so i need to un-comment the server in order to deploy the file in the respective server. Can i create environment.config file, i heard that is more friendlier than this.

I know, its a bit lengthy but if someone have an idea of doing this will be much appreciated. I will upload if i may able to create config file.

Thanks Kudos !!
