Onboard Service Offerings

The service provider must onboard service offerings (SOs) for service offerings and processes to be available on CA CSDP. The SO consists of service catalog offerings, forms, event actions, the CA Process Automation workflows, manifest file, and so on.

The SO onboard process accomplishes the following activities:

Updates the CA CSDP manifest table with the SO information
Imports the SO content
Extracts payload applications into a directory that CA CSDP can access

The new services are available on the catalog interface, after completing the SO onboard process. The user can view the available offering and can subscribe to the required offerings.

Perform the following task to onboard SOs.

Follow these steps:

Download the service from http://www.cloudcommons.com
Place the SO zip file on the server.
Click Start, All Programs, CA Folder, Service Catalog Folder, Service Catalog Command Prompt.
Enter the ant command: ant –f csdp_build.xml.
Provide the location of the SO zip file.
To import the SO, select the environment:
- To import the SO in the production environment, press the Y key.
- To import, and modify the SO in another development environment, press the N key.
The SO service code in the manifest file is validated with the database.
Note: If the SO service code exists in the database, a message appears. Specify whether you want to proceed with the import.
- To import the SO content again, press the Y key.
- To, not import the content, press the N key.
The CA Service Catalog and CA Process Automation content are imported and the service offerings are available to the user.
Restart CA Service Catalog service.
