| SERVER | `livenessProbe` | String (HTTP endpoint ID) | | Specifies a probe which can indicate to **BDeploy** whether the application is _alive_. _Alive_ means whether the application is currently performing as it should. **BDeploy** does not take immediate action on its own if a liveness probe fails. It will only report the failure to the user. |

| CLIENT | `supportsAutostart` | `true`, `false` | false | Whether the application is allowed to automatically start upon system bootup (on the client PC). |
| CLIENT | `startScriptName` | String | | A console-friendly name for a script. This script will be placed in the client PCs PATH (user environment) and can be used to launch the application from the client command line. The application will be started through the **BDeploy** launcher and will perform updates as usual. |
| CLIENT | `offlineStartAllowed` | `true`, `false` | false | Whether the application is allowed to continue starting in case the server can not be contacted to check for updates. |
| CLIENT | `fileAssocExtension` | String (e.g. .myext) | | A file extension which should be associated with the client application on the client PC. The client application will still be launched through the **BDeploy** launcher, and applies updates as usual. |

Next we need the required descriptors for the product and the application. For this sample, the information will be the bare minimum, please see [`app-info.yaml`](#app-infoyaml) and [`product-info.yaml`](#product-infoyaml) for all supported content.

Any of the above will be processed _as late as possible_, i.e. on the target node, right before writing the final content to the target directories.

The general syntax for variables is `{{TYPE:VARNAME:SUBVAR}}`. There are various types, usually denoted by a single character. The following section gives an overview of types, variables, and possible sub-variables.
The general syntax for variables is `{{TYPE:VARNAME:SUBVAR}}`. There are various types, usually denoted by a single character. The following section gives an overview of types, variables, and possible sub-variables. Additionally, limited arithmetic expressions (only `+` and `-`) can be added as last component, e.g. `{{X:myvar:+3}}`. Arithmetic expressions may not be available depending on the data type used at the specific location (e.g. not available if the variable in question is of type `STRING`).

!!!info Note
**BDeploy** has a _link expression editor_ built in. All elements in the UI (except the configuration file editor) can be switched from _plain value_ editor to _link expression_ editor, which gives rich content assist for link expressions (which contain one or more variable expansions). The configuration file editor uses rich content assist by default on [ **CTRL** ] + [ **Space** ] if the current word starts with `{{`.
