The provider specification version you created is added to the advanced external service.
What to do next
Specifying external service definitions has no impact on deployments unless you create an external
service instance in a deployment environment to enable the external service definitions on all of the
deployments under the deployment environment. See Map an External Service Instance.
Add the external service to your application blueprint. See Add an External Service to an Advanced
Blueprint.
Update external services or copy an existing external service. See Maintain External Service Versions.
Maintain External Service Versions
You can copy a basic or advanced external service from an existing version or modify the service.
You can view examples about how to define an external service from the Library > External Services
page.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator and an application publisher
and deployer.
n
Verify that an external service version is available in Application Services. See Create an External
Service in the Library.
n
Create a copy of the external 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 external service version.
If you are not a member of the group that owns the external service version, the Copy and Edit
buttons are disabled.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Library > External
Services.
2 Copy an existing external service version.
a Open an external service version and click Copy in the toolbar.
When you copy an external service, all of the properties, operating systems, a list of descriptive
tags, supported application components, and provider specification scripts and properties are
retained. You cannot change the name of the existing external service version.
b Change the version number, update the description, and click Save.
The version number and description differentiate the new external service from the parent
version.
