- Create or update a variable CDI
Define variables and set their values in components, collections, and deployables.
- Manage files in the config data model using file nodes
Add and manage files using file nodes in the config data model of a CDM app or in a component library.
- CDM data model
The CDM data model is a standardized data structure that supports the broader life cycle of software delivery — automation, quality validation, and CSDM. CDM imports existing config data, validates it using policies that you define, and exports valid config data to your organization's existing DevOps pipeline to implement applications, services, and infrastructure.
- Viewing and editing config data
You can update the config data of an application by creating or opening a changeset on the Config data tab, where you update the structure and CDIs of the config data.
- How encrypted data is handled
By default, encrypted values appear in all views as *******. Only users with the CDM Secrets [sn_cdm.cdm_secrets] role can view, create, update, and delete encrypted values in config data. The system validates and exports encrypted data appropriately.
