このタスクについて

You can create a template by uploading a generic template file, importing a template from a public URL, or by copying and pasting the contents of an existing template. AWS CloudFormation (CFT) templates support JSON and YAML. Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates support JSON. The following public template URL content types are supported:

• Text/Plain
• Application/JSON
• YAML MIME

注:

Catalog items that were based on templates in earlier releases are now treated as if they are based on blueprints.

You can update a template as often as needed. With each update, a new version of the template is created. A template can be in one of three states: draft, active, or history. When you create a template and do not activate it, the template is in a draft state. Once you activate the template, the state changes to active. If you create another template and activate it, the state of the previous active template turns into history. At any time, only one template is in the active state. Each time you activate a template, the previous active template becomes history.

手順

1. In the Cloud Admin Portal, navigate to Design > Cloud Catalog Items and then create a catalog item or open an existing catalog item.
2. Click Cloud Templates > New and then enter a meaningful short description in the Short description field.
3. Specify the Ingestion method.

   オプション	説明
   Import from URL	Import a template by specifying a public URL where the template resides. Select this option and then click the lock icon () to unlock the Cloud template URL field. Enter the public URL in this field. 注: For the public URL, we support only HTTP and HTTPS protocols, and do not support FTP. Ensure that the size of the template does not exceed the default value of 3 MB. You can change the default value of the file size by changing the value in the sn_cmp.template_content_size_supported_inbytes property in the sys_properties table. Enter the file size in bytes. There's also a default time-out of five minutes for an HTTP request. You can change the time-out value in the sn_cmp.template_url_import_http_timeout property in the sys_properties table. Enter the new value in milliseconds.
   Upload a file	Upload a template from your local workstation.
   Use template body	Paste the contents of the template file in the Body field.

   After you specify the Ingestion method, the template is validated and the results appear in the Validation status and Validation message fields.
4. Click Submit.
   The template is created and the Cloud Catalog Item page opens.
5. If this is the first version of template, skip this step else on the Cloud Templates tab, open the template (currently in Draft state) to view the template version parameters.
   注:

   The first version of a template that you create and publish has no conflict issues. If you update the template, a conflict can arise. If a parameter Action Type has the value Update, then specify a value for Decision.

   

6. Open each parameter with a Decision value of Pending, select a value, and then click the check mark .

   オプション	説明
   Skip Update	Discards the updates to the template.
   Use template	Applies the updates to the template.

7. After you update each Pending decision, click Activate.
   The state of the template changes from Draft to Active and the system generates the catalog item.
