Masterdata

The hamlet.io documentation is currently under significant re-development. Existing content is a placeholder and will be updated very soon.
  • Masterdata input data are separate solution instances that are provided by either the engine or plugin providers
  • They enable the defining of default values and datasets such as Reference Data (link to ref data page) and commonly used configurations
  • hamlet users are providing their own masterdata by way of their Solution (provide link to solution docs)

Masterdata.ftl Data Type

  • the masterdata.ftl input-data file defines the macros and functions required to compile all masterdata configurations (shared provider & discovered plugin providers) into one global object during engine runtime
  • The object then becomes the foundations which will become the blueprint (link)
  • The shared provider provides its own masterdata file that includes configuration that is applicable across many providers
  • Each provider is then responsible for defining its own masterdata file for common content across that plugin

Common Masterdata Content

  • Industry convention naming standards for
    • Environments
    • Tiers
  • Description attributes
  • Mapping common knowledge port names with numbers
  • Defining commonly used security configurations such as OWASP Top 10 (link to their site) as Profile types
  • Provider region names (in that providers masterdata)
