Creating a Fleet with the YAML Editor

Overview

In this tutorial, you'll walk through the steps to duplicate a fleet using Platform's YAML Editor.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:

• Create a Fleet with the YAML Editor
• Duplicate Fleets

For more information about our YAML Editor, check out this blog post that covers the basics of using the YAML Editor.

Steps

Step 1 - Create New Fleet with YAML Editor

1. Click the New Fleet button on the top left corner of the Platform webpage.
2. Click the Use YAML Editor button on the top right of the Fleet Builder page

3. Highlight and delete all of the existing YAML.
4. Copy the following YAML and paste it into the YAML Editor:

Step 2 - Use YAML Editor to Edit Fleet

1. For name, change Download Slinky Dog Dash Ride Wait Times to Download Space Mountain Ride Data.
2. Under vessels, change Download Slinky Dog Dash Ride Data to Download Space Mountain Ride Data
3. Under that Vessel, change the following inputs to the values listed:

Input	Value
HTTP _DESTINATION_FILE_NAME	space_mountain.csv
HTTP _FILE_URL	https://cdn.touringplans.com/datasets/space_mountain.csv

4. Change the second Vessel's name from Send Slinky Dog Dash Data via Email to Send Space Mountain Data via Email
5. Under that Vessel, change the following inputs to the values listed:

Input	Value
EMAIL_MESSAGE	Here's the most recent wait times for Space Mountain!
EMAIL_SOURCE_FILE_NAME	space_mountain.csv
EMAIL_SUBJECT	Space Mountain Wait Times

6. Under Connections, change the names of the two vessels to match our new vessels:

Original Name	New Name
Download Slinky Dog Dash Ride Data	Download Space Mountain Ride Data
Send Slinky Dog Dash Data via Email	Send Space Mountain Data via Email

7. Find all of the values in the YAML called _id and delete the full line. Platform will automatically generate new ids for the new Space Mountain Fleet.

danger

A YAML with IDs is used when updating an existing Fleet. If you try to create a new Fleet with IDs, it will error out.

Your finished YAML for the Space Mountain Fleet should look like this:
