After you have configured the environment for the eZDeploy utility, you can use the export or import feature of the eZDeploy utility to export or import your BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management service blueprints or service catalog. The following topics describe those tasks:

Topic	Details
Using-eZDeploy-export	Allows you to export the service blueprint or service catalog.
Using-eZDeploy-import	Allows you to import the service blueprint or service catalog. Ensure that you have met the prerequisites for using the import feature of the eZDeploy utility.

Note

Although BMC Server Automation Virtual Guest Packages (VGP) are not exported from the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management system, eZDeploy exports the necessary metadata that is required for creating the VGP in the target environment.
The VGP creation process uses the template reference and licenses, but not other properties, such as timezone. You must update these properties manually after you create the VGP.
