Exporting service blueprints and the service catalog by using eZDeploy
This topic describes how to export BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprints and the service catalog as an eZDeploy package (.eZ file). If you want to import a service blueprint, you must export it first.
Before you begin
- Ensure that the eZDeploy profile is created in the source environment prior to exporting a service blueprint or a service catalog.
- Ensure that the option included in the Service being exported must have at least one option choice.
To export service blueprints as an eZDeploy package
Run the following command:
export –name <serviceBlueprintName> -profile <eZDeploySourceProfileName>
- serviceBlueprintName: Name of the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprint
- eZDeploySourceProfileName: Name of the eZDeploy source profile that is created
If eZDeploy detects any BMC Atrium Orchestrator workflows that are associated with the service blueprint, you must provide the module version.
When the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprint is exported, a folder named export is created under the eZDeploy directory. The export folder contains an .eZ file (zip file) with the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprint name, as shown in the following figure:
To export a service blueprint with the service catalog as an eZDeploy package
Run the following command:
export –name <serviceBlueprintName> -profile <eZDeploySourceProfileName> –service <serviceName>
- serviceBlueprintName: Name of the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprint
- eZDeploySourceProfileName: Name of the eZDeploy source profile that is created
- serviceName: Name of the service from the service catalog to be exported
When the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprint is exported, a folder named export is created under the eZDeploy directory. The export folder contains an .eZ file (zip file) with the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprint name. This exports the service catalog, service offering, options and option choices associated with the service. The servicecatalog folder created with the blueprint and bsa folders contains the exported options, service offering and option choices details, as shown in the following figure:
