If a deployment uses artifact mapping in its blueprint, and that blueprint includes a tracking identifier
or content URL as a property value, you can override that value in the service catalog.
You can edit node properties such as CPU, memory, cluster size and hostname, including custom
properties that were defined on the node's machine blueprint.
6 Click Submit to request the catalog item.
When the deployment is complete, Application Services creates resources in vRealize Automation that
appear in the Items tab.
What to do next
Select the vRealize Automation resource to track the progress. You can also use the Application Services
deployment summary page to check the status in real time. See Using the Deployment Summary Page.
Using the Deployment Summary Page
Application Services provides a graphical user interface for checking the status of an application
deployment in real time on the deployment summary page.
You can also use the vCloud Director and vRealize Automation user interfaces to check the status of the
deployed virtual machines. To view the status of a Application Services deployment in an Amazon VPC
and associated Availability Zone, see Amazon AWS Documentation.
On the deployment summary page, when a deployment is running, the overall deployment status of the
deployment, update, or teardown process appears in the toolbar. After the deployment finishes, the status
bar turns red or green depending on the success or failure of the tasks in the deployment. Above the task
status windows, a task timeline contains a time stamp that shows when the application deployment was
initiated, any subsequent update deployments, such as scaled deployments or updates to modify
configuration, or if a teardown process was run.
