after an action script runs successfully.
After the virtual machine is restarted, the agent proceeds to the next life cycle stage script defined in
the service version.

This operation does not remove the row for the life cycle stage.

What to do next
Create a copy of an existing service version, or edit the service. See Maintain Service Versions.
Maintain Service Versions
You can copy or edit a service from an existing service version.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator and an application publisher
and deployer.
n
If you plan to edit the properties and scripts contained in services that you add to the application
blueprint, familiarize yourself with the tasks described in Add a Service to the Library.
n
If you plan to use a script that downloads software from an external Web site, verify that the virtual
machine you use for deploying the application has access to an external network.
n
Familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of defining and configuring component properties and
actions. See Chapter 12 Developing Application Services Components.
n
Create a copy of the service to preserve the original for future reference and edit the copied version.
n
You must be a member of the owning business group for the service version.
If you are not a member of the business group that owns the service version, the Copy and Edit
buttons are disabled.
