Configure the CA Process Automation datasets to provide data to the CA Automation Suite for Clouds Base Configuration automated processes for ESX. For more information about datasets, see the CA Process Automation documentation.
Note: Configure Error Handling Parameters in ASC_GlobalDataset and then proceed configuring the datasets that are listed in this topic.
The Datasets capture information of CA Server Automation and Reservation Manager Host, port, userid, and password to connect to CA Server Automation. These details help in provisioning, changing, and snapshot features. In addition, datasets also capture CA Service Catalog, CA Process Automation host, and login credentials to initiate the web services. These details help the solution to get the information from CA Service Catalog and update the request states.
Follow these steps:
