11 Select the Pre-install in a Template check box to list the service in the Services Included section
while you create or edit a logical template.
Selecting the checkbox Indicates that the service is already installed in a template.
If you did not select this check box, the service appears in the list of services that you can include
when you create a deployment blueprint for an application.
Logical templates with preinstalled services also appear in the OS Templates section of the
application blueprint and are available as part of the template.
What to do next
Configure the service version properties. See Define Service Version Properties.
Define Service Version Properties
Application Services passes defined properties as environment variables to scripts running in a virtual
machine. The service version properties define the variables used in the scripts for the service.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator and an application publisher
and deployer.
n
Familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of defining and configuring component properties and
actions. See Chapter 12 Developing Application Services Components.
n
To view examples about how to define a service, select Library > Services to view the predefined
services.
n
Verify that a service version is available in Application Services. See Create a Service Version in the
Library.
Procedure
1 Open an existing service version and click Edit.
2 For the Property Name and Description, define a variable and add an optional description.
The property name cannot begin with a digit.
After a variable is added and defined, you can create an install, configure, start, update, rollback, or
teardown script for the service version.
3 To change the type, select a property type from the drop-down menu.
You cannot add types to the menu.
