Lifecycle Action Selection Wizard

See also Lifecycle Action Selection Wizard (for service components) or Lifecycle Action Selection Wizard (for service component templates).

Concepts

Use the action selection wizard to create or edit an action for the selected lifecycle phase.

To add Operations Orchestration flows, see the Import Operations Orchestration Flows section in the Configuration Guide for more information.

Tasks

  • Select Action - Search for flows or actions by name (when searching for a flow, the folders searched in the Operations Orchestration library are determined by a property configured in the csa.properties file; see the "Action Selection Wizard" property description section in the Configuration Guide for more information) or select the process engine from which to select a flow or action. Then, locate and select the flow or action. See Lifecycle Action Internal Actions for a list of internal actions. This task is only available when you create an action.

  • Configure Action - Configure information about the action.

    Item Description
    Process Engine Read-only. The container of the flow or internal action.
    Locator Read-only. The location of the flow or internal action.
    Display Name The name you provide for the action.
    Description The description you provide for the action.
    Execution Properties

    Specify the following:

    • Fail on Error - If selected, provisioning or de-provisioning will stop if the action fails. By default, Fail on Error is not selected for actions created in the Un-deploying, Un-reserving, and Un-initializing stages.
    • Error on Timeout - If selected, provisioning or de-provisioning will stop if the time to execute the action exceeds the timeout value, configured below.
    Timeout (seconds) The amount of time to wait for the action to complete. Set this field to zero (0) if you do not want the action to time out. Note that this creates the potential of an action not finishing, which may cause the underlying subscription to remain in the Pending state.
  • Configure Parameters - Configure the input parameters whose values are passed to the flow or internal action prior to invoking the action. Click the gear icon next to the parameter you want to configure and select Edit Mapping. From the Edit Parameter Mapping dialog, edit the Name, Display Name, Description, and Mapping Type of the parameter.

    Select one of the following Mapping Types:

    • Not Mapped - The parameter is not mapped to a value.
    • Constant Value - Type a value for the parameter.
