Import components

Importing provides you with the ability to use content from sources external to Codar. Importing is the only way to add additional components, as you cannot create components manually.

Importing components is done through an import wizard, with options based on the selected Import Source (provider type). The provider types are:

Puppet
Chef
Operations Orchestration
Server Automation

Importing components

From the Topology Components area, click Import, and provide the following information:

Item	Description
General	Import Source - Select the provider type to use as the import source for the component. Provider Instance - Select the provider instance that contains the component you want to import. Provider instances must first be configured in the Providers area to enable import for Chef, Server Automation, and Puppet provider types. For Operations Orchestration, content can be imported from the instance that is configured to integrate with HCM ARA. Image - Select an Image that will display for the component. Tags - Select one or more tags that will include the component. Tags are user-defined, color-coded labels and images used to provide a structure for organizing and grouping topology components.
Select Content	Depending on your selections in the General tab, select the content for the component: Chef - Select one or more Chef cookbooks to be imported as new HCM ARA topology components. Each selected cookbook will create a separate component. Operations Orchestration - Browse the Operations Orchestration library and select one or more standard component elements that will be imported as new topology components. Each selected item will create a separate component. Server Automation - Select one or more Server Automation policy to be imported as new topology components. Each selected policy will create a separate component. Puppet - Select one or more Puppet classes to be imported as new topology components. Each selected class will create a separate component.
Summary	Review your import selections, and click Import. The imported components will appear in the Topology Components list.
