Importing and Exporting Advanced Service Designer
Components
Instead of recreating Advanced Service Designer components for every environment, you can export your
custom resources, service blueprints, resource mappings, and resource actions from one environment
and import them into another.
Export Advanced Service Designer Components
You can export a zip file of your custom resources, service blueprints, resource mappings, and resource
actions so that you can reuse Advanced Service Designer components in separate tenants or different
vRealize Automation environments.
vRealize Orchestrator workflows are not exported with Advanced Service Designer components. You can
use vRealize Orchestrator to create a .package for import into the target vRealize Automation
environment.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a service architect.
Procedure
1 To configure the your content export options, browse to the location based on your current version.
Option Description
vRealize Automation 6.2.1 Select Administration > Content Management > Export Content
vRealize Automation 6.2 Select Administration > Advanced Services > Export Content
2 Select the components to export.
3 Click Next.
You are directed to the next tab to complete your selections.
4 From the Export Content tab, click Export Content to begin downloading your selections.
All Advanced Service Designer components you selected are downloaded in a zip file.
What to do next
You can import your content into another vRealize Automation environment.
Import Advanced Service Designer Components and Workflows
You can import custom vRealize Orchestrator workflows, custom resources, service blueprints, resource
mappings, and resource actions so that you can use previously created Advanced Service Designer
components in another tenant or in different vRealize Automation environments.
