When you create a policy action script, the policy instance makes a copy. Changes to the policy script
in the library do not affect the existing policy instances associated to that policy. You need to create a
policy instance for the script changes to take effect.

Register a Puppet Solution Instance
To register a solution instance such as Puppet Master, you must configure the Puppet Master to work with
the Application Services server and create a Puppet Master solution instance within a deployment
environment in Application Services.
For the registration process, you can implement either the manual or the automated option. For the
automated option instructions, see Register a Puppet Master Solution Instance.
Procedure
1 Prepare the Puppet Master Environment for Registration
To register a Puppet Master within a deployment environment you must prepare the Puppet Master
to work with the Application Services server.
2 Create a Puppet Solution Instance
A solution instance such as Puppet Master, must be created in an Application Services deployment
environment so that the Puppet Master is always used when an application using Puppet-based
services is deployed in that deployment environment.
Prepare the Puppet Master Environment for Registration
To register a Puppet Master within a deployment environment you must prepare the Puppet Master to
work with the Application Services server.
You can also automate the registration process, see Register a Puppet Master Solution Instance.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that Puppet Enterprise version 3.0.1 to 3.2.3 or Puppet Open Source version 3.2.4 to 3.6.2 is
installed.
n
Verify that you have the latest supported version of the Puppet agents installed. See the Puppet Labs
documentation Web site for the agent installation instructions.
n
Make sure that there is a client machine available with Puppet installed besides the Puppet Master.
n
Make sure the system times for the Application Services and the Puppet Master servers are
synchronized. You can use an NTP server for this purpose. The time difference between the two
servers cannot be more than 60 seconds.
