What to do next
To tear down a deployed application from the cloud, see Tear Down an Application from the Cloud.
To delete a deployment record from Application Services, see Delete an Application Deployment from
Application Services.
Start a Policy Scan
You can start a policy scan on a deployment to evaluate all of the policy instances defined under the
deployment environment that corresponds to a deployment. Application Services runs a policy
assessment as the first step when you initiate a deployment or update process.
Policy scans can be performed only on active deployments. For example, if an update process fails, you
must restore the state of the current deployment to active before retrying the policy scan.
If a policy used in the deployment environment for a policy instance is updated, the user must delete the
existing policy instance and create a policy instance based on the updated policy.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to Application Services as an application publisher and deployer.
n
Verify that a policy or policy instance has changed.
n
Verify that deployments with the obsolete policy definitions are available in Application Services.
Procedure
1 On the Application Services title bar, click the drop-down menu and select Deployments.
2 Enter the name of the existing deployment to scan in the search text box.
3 From the search result list, select the deployment to scan.
The deployment summary page opens.
4 In the toolbar above the deployment summary, select Operations > Scan.
5 Confirm the scan deployment process.
The compliance summary page opens to display the overall compliance status and policy details. The
policy scan appears in the time line with the time stamp of when the scan was initiated.
What to do next
Track the policy compliance details of the deployment scan. See View Policy Compliance Summary.
Tear Down an Application from the Cloud
In Application Services, you can start the teardown process to remove the vCloud Director vApp and
associated virtual machines,vRealize Automation virtual machine and the associated virtual machine in
vCenter Server, or Amazon EC2 instances from the cloud environment.
