Hi Brian, CPS properties that are needed for each Galasa manager which you add to your test classes, can be found on the galasa.dev website under the 'Configuring' section of whichever manager you are using. There isn't really a set list of properties you should have as it depends on what Galasa managers you are using and what you're doing in your test.
However, the Galasa CLI does have a command 'galasactl local init' to initialise your ~/.galasa folder and within it places a template of the cps.properties file. If you already have ~/.galasa, then it won't overwrite it so you might need to move/rename that directory to see the output.
The credentials you need will depend on what you use in your test, but the 'galasactl local init' command shows an example credentials.properties also.

Hi Jade, I did run the local init and the examples in the files are good. I am now getting the error zOS Credentials missing for image D10A id T5098BL .................... my credentials file has the entries secure.credentials.D10A.username=T5098BL
secure.credentials.D10A.password=#########
secure.credentials.DEFAULT.username=T5098BL
secure.credentials.DEFAULT.password=#########
secure.credentials.zos.username=T5098BL
secure.credentials.zos.password=#########
secure.credentials.PRIMARY.username=T5098BL
secure.credentials.PRIMARY.password=#######
secure.credentials.PLEX2.username=T5098BL
secure.credentials.PLEX2.password=######## do I need an additional tag? thanks

hi Jade, I figured it out, but going forward, it would help if there is a better description of how to add entries to the cps.properties and credentials.properties files
