What to do next
Request a vRealize Automation catalog item for development. See Request a vRealize Automation
Service Catalog Item.
Request a vRealize Automation Service Catalog Item
When you request a service catalog item you provision the item to the designated cloud environment.
A typical user in vRealize Automation does not have direct access to the Application Services
environment. Therefore, the user can access the vRealize Automation service catalog, which is a self-
service portal and request Application Services application deployments.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you can log in to a vRealize Automation IaaS environment as an application publisher and
deployer. For information about how to install and configure vRealize Automation and set entitlements
on items in the catalog, see the vRealize Automation documentation.
n
Verify that at least one vRealize Automation catalog item has an entitlement and a service assigned
to it. See Publish a Single Deployment Profile.
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an application publisher and deployer.
Procedure
1 Select Administration > Catalog Management > Catalog Items.
