3 Modify the existing policy properties and action script.
a Click Edit in the toolbar.
b Make your changes and click Save.
What to do next
Delete a duplicate or outdated policy. See Delete a Policy.
Delete a Policy
If the policy definitions are not applicable to your application deployment, you can delete the policy from
the Application Services library.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator and an application publisher
and deployer.
n
Verify that the policy does not have existing policy instances in the deployment environment. See
Create a vCloud Director Deployment Environment, Create a vRealize Automation Deployment
Environment, or Create an Amazon EC2 Deployment Environment.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Library > Policies.
2 Open the existing policy.
3 Remove the existing policy version and confirm your selection.
4 Click the arrow next to the policy name to return to the Policies page.
5 Delete the policy and confirm your selection.
Add a Custom Task to the Library
With Application Services, you can create a custom task to perform customized tasks in the application
deployment such as run security patches.
The Application Services catalog contains predefined tasks to configure APT or YUM repositories, a script
to register a machine to the Red Hat network, or a script to enable a virtual machine to connect to the
designated Windows Active Directory domain. You can add these customized tasks to the execution plan
in a deployment profile. In some cases, rather than creating a custom task, you might prefer to edit a
predefined task.
Save your changes frequently. The Application Services user interface session expires after 30 minutes of
inactivity. If the session expires, any changes that were not saved are lost.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application cloud administrator and an application publisher
and deployer.
