Create a resource
Creating
The procedure (detailed below) to create a new resource is the same irrespective of the resource type.
- Log in to RapidDeploy as an administrative user
- Navigate to Menu -> Resources
- To create a new resource, click the Add button in the top right hand corner.
- Fill out the details of the resource.
- Give it a name
- Specify Resource Type
- Add description
- Specify Path for this resource. Here you specify where the configuration file will be stored.
- Package relative path specifies the place where your resource will be stored in project package. By default there will be stored under resources folder. So when you create a new project package RD will create 'resources' folder and then put your resource under this folder.
- Specify Resource Format, Binary Library / Data Dictionary / Transport Plugin Data / Cloud Provider Plugin Data.
- Create Resource Files flag usually should be set to true. Set it to false only if you want to create the resource based on already existing resource. Note that resource file (specified in 'Path') must be a readable file on the filesystem and should not be a directory.
- Save the resource
Editing a resource
A resource may be edited as follows:
- Log in to RapidDeploy as an administrative user
- Navigate to Menu -> Resources
- Find the resource to edit by performing a search
- Click on the pencil (edit button) to the right of the list item you wish to edit.
- Edit the resource on the 'General' tab and the specific plugin settings on the 'Settings' tab.
