Publish a Composite Deployment Profile
You can publish an Application Services composite deployment profile to the vRealize Automation service
catalog. vRealize Automation users can request the catalog item to start using the applications in that
environment.
You cannot delete a published deployment profile from the vRealize Automation service catalog.
If you publish a deployment that has mapped artifacts in its blueprint, you can override the tracking
identifier and content URL often used in such blueprints from the vRealize Automation service catalog.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application publisher and deployer.
n
Verify that a composite deployment profile is available in Application Services. See Setting Up and
Configuring a Deployment Profile.
n
vRealize Automation IaaS environment and entitlements must be properly set up and configured. See
vRealize AutomationInstallation and Configuration and IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms
documentation.
n
Verify that if there is a custom task in any of the deployment profiles, all of the required property
values in that deployment profile are defined so that the SSO user can request the item from the
vRealize Automation service catalog or quick deploy the latest application version and associated
deployment profile.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Applications.
2 Click the name of the application.
A list of application versions appears.
3 Select an application version and click the existing composite deployment profile or create one.
You must have one or more deployment profiles available to create a composite deployment profile.
4 Review the deployment profiles and the property bindings.
You can make changes to the composite deployment profile before publishing it.
5 Click Publish.
6 In the Publish dialog box, append the name of the composite deployment profile with more
information, add a description, and click OK.
For example, add an optional description to the Description section about the applications to be
deployed.
The published name and description appear in the vRealize Automation service catalog. This name
and description are different from the deployment profile name and description.
