Distributing services among virtual marketplaces

After virtual marketplaces have been created, an asset manager can distribute published service catalog items to existing virtual marketplaces by using a visual view of a single service catalog, available on the Catalog page:

Before you begin

You must be signed in as an asset manager to use features described in this topic.
Create the virtual marketplaces, as described in Creating virtual marketplace entitlements.
The catalog must contain services with a Published status.

To find services that you want to distribute into virtual marketplaces

Use the intuitive controls to filter by service category, or search by service name or description excerpt as you type.

Search hint

Search finds whole words or phrases that start with the search term that you provide. Use * as a wildcard at the end of a search term.

Examples

Search term: remedy would find BMC Remedy, BMC Remedy with Smart IT, etc.
Search term: remedy* would find all the above, and BMC RemedyForce.
