Upgrade and Entitled Actions
You cannot upgrade machine actions.
The actions that you are entitled to perform on provisioned machines, based on blueprint specifications,
are not upgraded. To recreate allowed machine actions, customize the entitlements for blueprints to
enable only certain actions.
For related information, see Configuring vRealize Automation.
Upgrade and Custom Properties
All the custom properties that vRealize Automation supplies are available in the upgraded deployment.
Custom properties and property groups are upgraded.
Terminology and Related Changes
All the build profiles that you created in the source deployment are upgraded as property groups. The
term build profile has been retired.
The term property set has been retired and CSV property set files are no longer available.
Reserved Property Names
Several keywords are now reserved and some upgraded properties might be impacted. Some keywords
are used by the blueprint code that can be imported, for example by using vRealize CloudClient blueprint
import functions. These keywords are considered reserved and are not available for properties that are
being upgraded. The keywords include but are not limited to cpu, storage, and memory.
For more information about naming properties, see Custom Properties Reference.
Upgrade and Application Services
Application Services upgrade is not currently supported in the target vRealize Automation deployment.
Upgrade and Advanced Service Design
When you upgrade to the target vRealize Automation deployment, your Advanced Service Design items
are upgraded to XaaS elements.
XaaS components are available for use in the blueprint design canvas.
Upgrade and Blueprint Cost Information
As of 7.0, vRealize Automation cost profiles are no longer supported and are not migrated into the target
deployment during upgrade. However, you can leverage the enhanced integration with vRealize Business
to manage your vRealize Automation resource costs.
