Managing eZDeploy profiles

This topic describes how to manage an eZDeploy profile. The following sections describe how to create, view, and delete an eZDeploy profile:

To create an eZDeploy profile

You must create an eZDeploy profile before you start using the import and export functionality of the eZDeploy utility. You can create a profile by using the profile command on the command-line interface (CLI). Before you create eZDeploy profiles, the CLI automatically gets the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Platform Manager details, the associated BMC Server Automation details, and the BMC Atrium Orchestrator details from the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management configuration files but requires the Enterprise AR server details as an input while creating the profile.

To create an eZDeploy profile, perform the following steps:

Run the following command:

eZDeploy> profile add -name <PROFILE_NAME> -host <AR_HOST/IP> -port <AR_PORT> -user <AR_USER>

The following table lists the inputs that you must provide to run the command:

Variable name	Input
Name	eZDeploy profile name
Host	BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Enterprise AR host name or IP address
User	BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Enterprise AR Admin username Note: Ensure that the BMC AR System server user has the Administrator and Cloud Administrator privileges.
Port	BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Enterprise AR port
Password	(Optional) BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management Enterprise AR Admin password

Press Enter.
The eZDeploy profile is created and eZDeploy stores the BMC Server Automation Server and Atrium Orchestrator Server details.
Verify that the eZDeploy profile is created correctly:
1. Use the profile list command to view the profile details. See To view eZDeploy profiles for details.
2. Navigate to your eZDeploy environment's BMC Server Automation console and ensure that the prefix "eZProfile-" is appended with the BMC Server Automation Server Name in the newly created BMC Server Automation Authentication Profile, as shown in the figure below:
  
  If you cannot view the profile, relaunch the BMC Server Automation console.

Note

If eZDeploy fails to detect BMC Server Automation or Atrium Orchestrator configuration, it will prompt you for the following inputs:

For BMC Server Automation, you need to provide the BMC Server Automation Host, Username, Password, and Authentication Port.
If you want to add BMC Atrium Orchestrator details, you need to provide BMC Atrium Orchestrator Repository details such as, Atrium Orchestrator Repository host, Username, Password, and Port. Ensure that you have provided the correct BMC Atrium Orchestrator details because eZDeploy does not validate these details when you create a user profile.

To view eZDeploy profiles

To view the list of eZDeploy profiles that you created, run the following command:

eZDeploy> profile list and press Enter.
A list of profiles is displayed.

To delete an eZDeploy profile

To delete a particular eZDeploy profile, run the following command:

eZDeploy> profile delete -name <Profile Name> and press Enter.
The profile is deleted.

For example: eZDeploy> profile delete -name Source
