8 Select and drag one or more services or application components to the nodes.
For example, you might drag the MySQL service onto a database server node, drag the JBoss
service onto an application server node, and drag an Apache service onto the Load Balancer node.
If a service or application component is not compatible with a particular node, you cannot drop it on
the node. For example, you can drag the application component called SQL SCRIPT onto a MySQL
service, but you cannot drag the SQL SCRIPT component onto a JBoss service.
Compatibility restrictions are created when the application catalog administrator sets the supported
operating systems and components for a library service. The application catalog administrator can
also add to the list of operating systems and tags that are already available in the library. For
example, the MySQL service in the library has the supported components listed as SQL SCRIPT.
Only the SQL SCRIPT application component type can be added to the MySQL service.
In addition, MySQL service has the supported operating systems set to CentOS32 6.3.0, CentOS64
6.3.0, CentOS32 6.4.0, CentOS64 6.4.0, and Ubuntu32 12.4.2. The MySQL service can be added to
logical templates that include one of the operating systems.
Note If any preinstalled services are added to a logical template after you create a blueprint, the
new preinstalled services are not added to the node. In this case, you must recreate the node and
add the preinstalled services.
You can add the application components SCRIPT and Other to a node or any service.
9 Click Save.
What to do next
Configure the services and application components you added to the application blueprint. See Configure
an Application Blueprint.
Configure an Application Blueprint
You can configure the properties and action scripts of the services and application components to
customize your application deployment.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application architect.
n
If the application requires access to URLs from outside the corporate firewall, configure the applicable
services and application components to use a proxy. See Configure Application Services to Use a
Proxy for External URLs.
n
Familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of binding to another property if you plan to customize
your application. See Binding to Other Properties.
n
Make sure that there are services and application components in the application blueprint. See Model
an Application Blueprint.
