Create a Resource Action for an Item Provisioned by Another Source
You can create resource actions to extend the operations that the consumers of the catalog items
can perform on items provisioned by sources other than the Advanced Service Designer.
n
Publish a Resource Action
The newly created resource action is in draft state, and you must publish the resource action.
n
Assign an Icon to a Resource Action
After you create and publish a resource action, you can edit it and assign an icon to the action.
Extending Operations Checklist
Resource actions for items provisioned outside of Advanced Service Designer require a resource
mapping as the input parameter. Because some resource mappings are included with your
vRealize Automation installation, the steps required to extend operations on resources provisioned
outside of Advanced Service Designer depend on the type of resource you want to extend.
Extending Operations for vSphere and vCloud Director Machines
vRealize Automation provides the resource mappings for vSphere virtual machines, vCloud Director
virtual machines, and vCloud Director vApps.
