How to pass install parameters to packages (rpm/deb)

[priyanka gugale <pr...@apache.org>]

Hi,

Ambari provides a way to provide configuration parameters from UI. If I
want to pass these parameters to install package like rpm/deb how I can
achieve this?

Hey Thanks for revert Mithun.

What I am looking for: I am running some scripts during rpm/deb package
installation. I want to pass my parameters(from ambari configurations) to
these scripts.

What I did: I assumed, env.set_params(params) call would set those config
parameters as environment variables and then my scripts can access them
during package install. But this is not working. Am I missing anything here?

Hi Priyanka

I'm not exactly sure whether I understand your question completely.
There is a params.py which does Script.get_config() - this would return a
dictionary of all the configurations that you see on the Ambari UI.
Hope this helps...

Are the config parameters are passed as environment variables, so that the
pre-install scripts of packages can access these parameters?

I am trying to understand how these config parameters are useful during
installation? Also if one edits any config post install, how does that take
effect on installed product?
