Creating a Code Review 1.7 on RHEL 5.9 service offering

This topic describes the tasks that you must perform in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management to create the service offering that the end user can then use to provision the application infrastructure (for example, an OS and an application package).

It includes the following topics:

To create the service and the service offering

In the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administrator console, you must add a service and a service offering.

For Code Review 1.7 service blueprint, create a service and service offering based on the available deployment model. The Code Review 1.7 service blueprint support following deployment models:

To create a service

1. From the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administration Console, click the vertical Workspaces menu on the left side of the window, and click Service Catalog.
2. In the Service Catalog, click Create a New Service.
3. Enter the service name.
4. For Type, select a service type.
   • Business service — Services that customers use and that show the customer view of services, such as email or an online store.

   • Technical service — Supporting IT and infrastructure resources required to support business services that are not visible to customers, such as servers, applications, and network CIs.

     Note

     After you select the type and save the service, you cannot change the type.

5. Enter a description of the service.
6. Do one of the following actions:
   • To create the service offering, click Apply.
   • To create the service offering later, click Save to save your selections and close the window.

To create a service offering

1. From the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Administration Console, click the vertical Workspaces menu on the left side of the window, and click Service Catalog.
2. From the Service Catalog, edit or create a service.
   In the Service Offering tab, a default service offering is available, which you can edit.
3. Click Create a New Service Offering.

4. In the General Information tab, define the options described in the following table. 

   Option	Description
   Default Service Offering	Enable this option to make the selected service offering the default for the service. Unless users select a different service offering, the default service offering is used.
   Name	A short, descriptive name for the service offering.
   Description	A more detailed description of the service offering.
   Service Blueprint	Specify the software and hardware to associate with the service offering by selecting one of the available blueprints.
   Reference Definition	Specify which version of the blueprint to use for this offering. Choose one of the following: Latest version—Use the latest version of the specified service blueprint. Specific Version—Use the version of the service blueprint that you select. Identified by Tag—Select the tag that is used to identify a version of a service blueprint. Because no two versions of a service blueprint can have the same tag, if the association of the tag to a version changes, your blueprint will use whichever version makes use of that tag.
   Definition	Specify how to deploy the selected service blueprint. From the list, select a definition that is available for the chosen service blueprint.

5. Add a Base Customer Price to define the amount charged to the customer for the service offering.
6. Add a Base Deployment Cost to define the amount that it costs to provide the service offering.
7. Click Apply.
   This action activates the Options tab. You now also can create a requestable offering (for example, a request definition or a post-deploy action). For additional information, see Creating a requestable offering in the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management online technical documentation.
