CirrostratusBIG-IQ 6.0: Examples of post create/update/delete scripts?
Hi again,
In BIG-IQ v6.0 you can create service template in the service catalog.
I'm evaluating the possibilities to create a service template used in two sites.
For this to work I need a copy of the exactly same service on one site with ip-address A and on the other site with ip-address B.
Service templating with scripting would be a possible solution.
So does anyone have some examples of these post create/update/delete scripts?
I cannot find much informations about it.
Thanks!

I know this question is super old, but I thought I would respond for posterity.
The Post Create/Update Script and Pre Delete Script are scripts that BIG-IQ should run before or after an app admin creates an application using a template. Were you looking for examples of those or were you looking for how to create a template and then use it to deploy an application service?
I ask because you can achieve your goal with a Service Catalog Template or an AS3 template and no scripting is necessary.
These topics are covered in the techdocs manuals:
Create a template:

Deploy application with template:

Scripts can be run on their own or as noted earlier you can also tell BIG-IQ to run scripts before/after application service deployment:
