Configure Custom Provisioning Process in CA Process Automation

As an administrator you can configure preprovisioning and post-provisioning processes.

The preprovisioning processes must not create the virtual machine reservation itself. You can verify the resource availability, set up the environment before the reservation is created, and so on. The postprovisioning processes must not complete the request itself. The reservation is fulfilled by the event receiver when all the postprovisioning processes are completed.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to CA Process Automation as an administrator.
2. Click Library, CA ASC Base Console.
3. Double-click ASC_Global Dataset.
4. Click Check Out to edit the parameters.

   Note: Delete all the unwanted or unused dataset values to ensure proper connection.
