Change The Location of a Layer

To change the location of one of the layers:

  1. Open the File.properties file for the layer you want to move. For example, to move the common layer, open /opt/escenic/assemblytool/conf/common/File.properties.

  2. Edit the fileSystemRoot property to point to the required location.

  3. Copy your common configuration layer to the new location.

  4. Run the assembly tool.

  5. Deploy the results.

  6. Restart.

The bootstrap layer will never be overwritten by the assembly tool once it has been created, so any changes you make are persistent. If the bootstrap layer should ever be deleted, however, a new one can be created by running the assembly tool's initialize target.
