Re: [sdd] More comments on Primer

[Brent Miller <bamiller@us.ibm.com>]

Thanks, Lazar.

I am a bit hesitant to expand the current
scope of the Primer significantly, although we can consider adding items
that can make it more useful (but I think we need to consider the tradeoff
in adding more content in v1.0 vs. making the current content available
soon).

We can discuss both of these items in
tomorrow's call. 

Thanks.

Regards,
Brent

Subject	[sdd] More comments on Primer

Hello,

the conditional context is described in composite example (Oracle versus
DB2 installation). Shall we extend composite example and remove conditional
context example? Chapter "Additional Considerations" may just
focus on details in this example instead of using another example.

I also received a mail regarding Substitution-part (see bellow) and found
we did not cover the substitution topic at all in the Primer.

best regards,
Lazar

------------------------------------

Currently iam confused with SDD element Substitution type. It would be
very
nice if you could help me out with an example.

<properties>
 <property name="JAVAHOME" value="/opt/JAVA"/>
</properties>

The above would be my responsefile now i need to substitute the value of
the property name JAVAHOME and the resultant responsfile is as below.

<properties>
 <property name="JAVAHOME" value="/usr/local/java"/>
</properties>

How do i put the same in SDD?

<sdd-dd:Substitution required="true" limit="2">
   <sdd-dd:Pattern>String</sdd-dd:Pattern>
   <sdd-dd:Value/>
</sdd-dd:Substitution>
