Creating or modifying tokens in Deployment Solution

In Deployment Solution, a system token is a type of variable, which is replaced with unique deployment-related data that is retrieved from the database. You can insert these variable tokens in scripts or answer files to extract information from the database. Deployment Solution provides you with the option to create tokenized scripts through the console as well as has predefined tokens to use.

See About predefined tokens in Deployment Solution.

You can add or create a new token, edit the SQL query of an existing token, or delete a token that you have created. You are not recommended to modify an existing token name.

  3. Enter a name for the token in the Token name field.

  4. Enter the SQL statement for the token.

  5. Click Validate SQL to validate the SQL statement.

  6. Click Save changes.

To modify an existing token

  1. In the Symantec Management Console, on the Settings menu, click Deployment > Tokens.
