Associate resource offerings with component templates

You can associate a resource offering with a component template. This association or link ensures that the resource offering will be provisioned when the Server service component is deployed.

Tasks

• Navigate to (the Resource Offerings tab) — In the left pane of the Sequenced Components area, select the component palette that contains the component type whose template resource offerings you want to view. Click the component type. Select the Templates tab. From the templates list, click the component template whose resource offerings you want to view. Click the Resource Offerings tab to review the list of resource offerings.

• Add — From the Resource Offerings tab, click the Add icon. In the Select Resource Offering dialog, select the Resource Category from the list, select Resource Offering from the list, and click Add.

  A resource offering cannot be associated with a service component if the service component is part of a published design.

• Navigate to Resource Offering — Click the gear icon next to the resource offering to which you want to navigate. Select Navigate to Resource Offering, which takes you to the resource offering.
• Replace Resource Offering — Click the gear icon next to the resource offering you want to replace. Select Replace Resource Offering, and select the replacement resource offering. The displayed resource offerings are not bound to the service component and are of the same resource category and provider type as the resource offering being replaced.

• Delete — Click the gear icon next to the resource offering you want to delete. Click Delete and click Yes in the confirmation dialog.

  A resource offering cannot be deleted if the design is in an upgrade path, is upgradable from a previous version of the design, and the resource offering existed in that prior version. Resource offerings that are newly added to the current version of the design can be deleted.

  A resource offering cannot be deleted if the service component is part of a published design.

• Group — Ctrl-Click to select multiple resource offerings, and click Group on the right panel to create a parallel processing group. You can also click and drag individual resource offerings to group them. Resource offerings in a parallel processing group are executed at the same time.

• Ungroup — Click the gear icon next to a resource offering inside a group and select Remove from Group. You can also ungroup a resource offering by dragging it out of the parallel processing group.

  • To ungroup multiple resource offerings at one time, click and select multiple resource offerings and click Ungroup on the right panel.

• Set Processing Order — The processing order of a resource offering specifies the order in which the associated resource offering will be provisioned relative to the other resource offerings added on this service component. The order in which you see the resource offerings are the order in which they will be provisioned. You can click and drag a resource offering or a group of resource offerings and move them around to set processing order.
