| Xoom features / Parameters | |
Specifies how Xoom should behave when expected xpi:keep-target attributes are missing from the representation. If true, Xoom behaves as if missing xpi:keep-target attributes are present and set to true. If false, Xoom behaves as if missing xpi:keep-target attributes are present and set to false.
Some aspects of settings are specific to a particular environment, and therefore shouldn’t be overwritten during the deployment of configuration changes, even when the rest of the setting in question has changed. Examples are environment-specific connection settings and credentials, and server names.
The ability to preserve such information is supported by Xoom. The nodes that are affected need to be specified in the Xoom knowledge base, and those nodes will be marked with xpi:keep-target attribute that will specify whether the target node’s value should be kept or not by giving them the values true or false respectively.. This allows users to easily review and change the behaviour on deployment (i.e. whether to keep the target environment's value, or overwrite it) as desired for a particular node using simple search and replace.
This parameter determines the behaviour in Xoom in cases where expected xpi:keep-target attributes are missing.
