Create Capsule Definition File

A Capsule definition file is required to build a Capsule with the SDK packager tool. This file describes high-level metadata that can be displayed while importing and displaying Capsule level information.

To create capsule definition file:

1. Find the sample capsule.xml file available under /xsd directory of the Content SDK.
2. Copy the file to your content depot directory.

3. Enter the required details within appropriate tags by referring the below Capsule File Example:

   Capsule File Example

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <buildCapsule sign=true/false>
   	<usecases>
   		<usecase name="HPE OpenStack" path=“/Usecase Depot/" />
   	</usecases>
   	<capsuleName>HPE-OpenStack.zip</capsuleName>
   	<outputDir></outputDir>
          <logo></logo>
   	<xsltFilePath></xsltFilePath>
          <signProjectName></signProjectName> 
   </buildCapsule>
   

   • Name of the use case: <usecase name="HPE OpenStack" (This is use case directory name).
   • Path of the use case: path=“/Usecase Depot/" /> (This is the path to the parent directory of the use case, which is Use case Depot)
   • Name of the output capsule name: <capsuleName>HPE-OpenStack.zip</capsuleName>
   • Location of the output directory name: <outputDir></outputDir>
   • Path to the organizational image logo that appear in the Auto-generated Capsule document:<logo></logo>
   • Complete path of the XSLT file (Optional): <xsltFilePath></xsltFilePath>
     • You can ignore providing the path of the XSLT file, if you do not wish to customize the output of the document as per your requirements.
     • If you wish to customize the output document by editing the XSLT file, see Automatic Document Generation Feature.
   Note: You must complete editing the XSLT file before moving to Step 4.

   • Provide the Project name, which has the LDAP group configured for HPE Signing: <signProjectName></signProjectName>

     For more information on HPE Signing, see Capsule Signing Feature.

4. Open the command prompt and execute the following command to generate the capsule:

    java -jar CapsulePackager.jar -i capsule.xml
