You can also use the vRealize Automation Property Dictionary when defining custom properties that use
the Prompt User option. The following dictionary control types are supported for use with catalog items
that are published from Application Services:
n
DropDownList
n
CheckBox
For related information about using custom properties in conjunction with Application Services, see Using
Application Services in vRealize Automation documentation.
Build Profiles and Property Sets
vRealize Automation contains property sets that fabric administrators can use when they create build
profiles.
Property sets are groups of related properties that are commonly used together in build profiles and
machine blueprints. Instead of adding custom properties to a build profile or a machine blueprint
individually, you can add an entire set to a build profile and provide the values.
Many commonly used property sets are included in vRealize Automation.
For example, the WimImagingProperties property set contains custom properties commonly used for
WIM-based provisioning:
n
Image.ISO.Location
n
Image.ISO.Name
n
Image.Network.Password
n
Image.Network.User
n
Image.WIM.Index
n
Image.WIM.Name
n
Image.WIM.Path
As another example, the vApp property set contains the following custom properties that can be used for
vApp provisioning:
n
VirtualMachine.NetworkN.Name
n
VCloud.Template.MakeIdenticalCopy
n
VMware.SCSI.Type
n
Sysprep.Identification.DomainAdmin
n
Sysprep.Identification.DomainAdminPassword
n
Sysprep.Identification.JoinDomain
Fabric administrators can create their own property sets and add them to vRealize Automation.
