Property types and values

TypeProperty information
All
  • Name — A unique name for the property.
  • Display Name — A unique name for the property.
  • Description — A description of the property.
  • Consumer Visible — Select this option to indicate that this property will be made visible in the Marketplace Portal.
Boolean
  • Property Value — Select either True or False.
Integer
  • Resource Type and Unit for a Measurable Property — Select the resource type and unit, which are used to influence provider and pool selection and resource accounting. You must set this to a value other than None to make this property measurable and available for configuration on a resource offering. You can also specify the resource type and unit simply to clarify the intent of the property. Note that when creating a Source Binding for a service component, a best practice is that both the service component property you are creating and the service component property you are binding to will have the same Resource Type and Unit value.
  • Property Value — Select or type a positive or negative whole number or zero. If you enter a decimal number, the value will be truncated to the nearest integer. The maximum allowed integer value is 2147483647 and the minimum is -2147483648; if you enter a value outside these bounds the value will be automatically converted to the closest maximum or minimum value.
