These parameters can be used to modify the attributes of a manifest provider or to replace targeted text in any file in the application distribution, or they can be used as components of the value of other parameters. Each parameter represents a data item that the WDT needs to collect to perform the installation. Parameters.xml is an XML file made up of 'parameters', presented to the user as a form that needs to be filled out to customize the application installation for the user's environment. The Parameters.xml file defines the WDT and Web PI interactions with the user. With the alias provider, you can have the WDT make the copy and use the parameters to fill in any necessary values. Prior to the WDT, these applications often required the user to copy the sample file and edit it by hand. Typically this is used for applications that provide sample configuration files. alias - Alias is used when you need to copy a file from the application package to another name or location.If your application needs additional permissions, you can use this provider to set them. In most cases, this means that files will be readable by PHP (and Microsoft® ASP.NET), but not writable. By default, everything installed by the WDT is installed without changing permissions. ACLs are used to define the access and permissions that a user or an application has on a file or directory. setacl - This provider is used to apply an access control list (ACL) to a file or directory.Use removeCommandDelimiter if you are using a delimiter other than a semicolon ( ). If you specify a commandDelimiter, you can have it removed from the SQL by specifying a 'removeCommandDelimiter' attribute and setting its value to 'true'. If your SQL scripts contain stored procedures which require you to define a different command delimiter from the MySQL default of a semicolon ( ), you can specify the new delimiter with the optional 'commandDelimiter' attribute. The credentials and database information required to connect to the database are provided by the user through the parameters. The 'path' attribute is required and identifies a SQL script to be executed against the database. dbmysql - This provider identifies a connection to a MySQL database engine.

If the contents of your script maintain their own transactions, or have components which must run outside of a transaction, you can specify a 'transacted' attribute and set its value to 'false'. The default behavior of this provider is to treat each SQL file as if it were a single database transaction which can be committed or rolled-back as needed. dbfullsql - This provider identifies a connection to a Microsoft® SQL Server® or Microsoft® SQL Server® Express database instance.When the application is installed, the contents of the specified folder are placed in the root of the Web site application folder. The path specifies the sub folder within the application package (compressed file) that contains the files and directories required for running the application. The iisapp element has a single required attribute - 'path'. iisapp - This is the only required provider in the manifest.There should generally be at least one parameter for each provider in the manifest. Each of the providers can be modified by user input, which is described in the Parameters.xml file. It is an XML file made up of 'providers'. The Manifest.xml file (or the manifest) is the main file that tells the WDT what to do with an application. PHP applications also include a Web.config file. In addition, many applications add a SQL script to be run by the WDT as part of the pre-setup installation. These files are the Manifest.xml and Parameters.xml files. Please contact to make updates to your existing submission.Įvery application in the Web Application Gallery has at least two XML files that enable the Web Platform Installer (Web PI) to use the Web Deployment Tool (WDT) to deploy the application on Windows® operating systems. We are no longer taking submissions via the Submission Portal.
