Creating a Jasper reports 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 Jasper reports service blueprint, create a service and service offering based on the available deployment model. The Jasper reports Content-Pack supports single-tier deployment model. In the single-tier deployment model, Jasper reports will be installed on a single instance of a server.
