You created a service blueprint and you can see it on the Service blueprints page.
What to do next
Publish the blueprint as a catalog item. See Publish a Service Blueprint as a Catalog Item.
Publish a Service Blueprint as a Catalog Item
After you create a service blueprint, it is in a draft state and you can publish it as a catalog item.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a service architect.
Procedure
1 Select Advanced Services > Service Blueprints.
2 Select the row of the service blueprint to publish, and click Publish.
The status of the service blueprint changes to Published. If you select Administration > Catalog
Management > Catalog Items, you can see that the blueprint is published as a catalog item.
What to do next
You can create a resource action to define the operations that the consumers can perform against the
item they provision. See Create a Resource Action. If you do not want to create a resource action, you
can create a service and include the catalog item in it. For more information about creating a service, see
Create a Service.
Create a Resource Action
As a service architect, you can create resource actions to define the operations that consumers can
perform on the provisioned items.
By creating a resource action, you associate a vRealize Orchestrator workflow as a post-provisioning
operation. During this process, you can edit the default submission and read-only forms. See Designing a
Resource Action Form.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a service architect.
n
Create a custom resource corresponding to the input parameter of the resource action.
Procedure
1 Select Advanced Services > Resource Actions.
2
