To work with a virtual system pattern in an infrastructure
component, you must import that pattern into a Weaver pattern file.
Pattern files are Weaver representations of virtual system patterns.
Before you begin
Create a virtual system pattern. See
Creating virtual system patterns for applications.
To import a virtual
system pattern, you need to install or access the Weaver command-line
interface (CLI). You can install the CLI on your local system or access
a Weaver agent.
About this task
To import a virtual system pattern to a Weaver topology,
open a command-line window on a computer that has the Weaver runtime
installed and run the following command:
weaver iwd import PATTERN_ID -h hostname -u username -p password
- PATTERN_ID
- The ID of the pattern. You can find the pattern ID by opening
the web page for the pattern and looking in the URL for the page.
For example, the following URL is for a pattern with the ID 80:
https://cloud_host.mycompany.com/dashboard/design/patterns/#80
- hostname
- The host name for the cloud system, such as cloud_host.mycompany.com.
- username
- Your user name for the cloud system.
- password
- Your password for the cloud system.
Results
The resulting Weaver file contains information about the virtual
system pattern, including information about the nodes and the script
packages that are on each node.
Note: Do not edit this file. It must
match the pattern exactly.
What to do next
Create a façade to assign human-readable names to the elements
in the pattern file. See
Defining Weaver infrastructure façades for virtual system patterns.
