Property mappings

Property mappings enable property values to be passed between the component and the resource offering.

Tasks

• View property mapping — In the left pane of the All Design area, select the tag associated with the design you want to view. Select the service design and, in the Designer tab, select the service component that contains the resource offering whose property mappings you want to view. In the right pane, click the gear icon and select Edit Component. In the Resource Offerings tab, click the name of the resource offering whose property mappings you want to view. Select the Property Mappings panel on the right.
• Automatically configure property mapping — Automatically map each resource offering property to a best-match component property. If no best match is found, a new property is automatically created.

• Configure property mapping — Click the gear icon next to a mapped resource offering property and then select Configure Mapping. Select one of the following options in the dialog:

  • Not Mapped — The resource offering property is not mapped to the property on the component.
  • Auto-Configure — Automatically maps the resource offering property to a best-match component property. If no best match is found, a new property is created automatically.

  • Mapped to Component Property — Select a component property from the list.

• Delete a mapping — Click the gear icon next to a mapped resource offering property and then select Delete Mapping. Click Yes to confirm. Deleting the mapping does not delete the property on the component template.

A property mapping between a resource offering and a service component template cannot be deleted if:

• it is part of a published design
• it is a design that is in an upgrade path (the design is upgradeable from a previous version of a design)
• if the property mapping existed in that prior version.
