Synthesize Templates

The following environmental parameters are checked during synthesizing CloudFormation templates:

Parameter	Value	Notes
REGION	AWS region, such as cn-north-1	If it starts with cn-, a China-specific endpoint is used for VPC endpoints.
DBDUMP_MYSQL_DUMP_IMAGE	Public ECR image URL	If undefined, it creates a ECR repository and refers there.
DYNAMO_IMAGE	Public ECR image URL	If undefined, it creates a ECR repository and refers there.
S3_IMAGE	Public ECR image URL	If undefined, it creates a ECR repository and refers there.

The cdk.json is defined as

{
  "app": "java -jar $CDK_JAR"
}

Therefore, you need to export the path to the executable jar file before running cdk, such as

export CDK_JAR=build/BCSDisasterRecoveryPortalFormation-1.0-exe.jar
