Replace the placeholders in the Artifacts

The Generated Artifacts zip file contains files with placeholders for the target environment parameters.

You should replace all the placeholders to deploy to your Target System.

Replace Placeholders

A toolkit is provided in the generated artifacts to replace placeholders.

It is composed of a Powershell script to execute: replace_placeholders.ps1.

To execute commands with Powershell later in this article, please use at least version 7 provided by Microsoft. If you would like to install the latest version, please check here.

The process to follow is:

Update the replacement_config.json file with your values:
- Insert the value to replace into the value node

Details about the placeholder values to update for each Target technology are available here.

Replace the placeholders in the files:

- Open Windows Powershell (or equivalent) in the replace_placeholders.ps1 location:
- Execute the following command :
- ```
.\replace_placeholders.ps1
```
  - You should have a similar result:
- The configured values in all generated artifacts replaced the placeholders
- You can now use these files and deploy your Target system

Some parameters can be added to the replace_placeholders.ps1 command.

All are described and available by executing:

.\replace_placeholders.ps1 -help

The -ReplacementConfigPath parameter mainly allows using a replacement_config.json file in another path. It is beneficial when you are in a development mode for your project.

Example of usage:

.\replace_placeholders.ps1 -ReplacementConfigPath "C:\TEMP\Replacement config files\replacement_config_
