Few days back one of my Senior Manager whom I was reporting a year back, reached out to me and wanted to learn the concepts of Cloud Computing. I was happy that I am recognized as reliable resource to reach and someone wanted me to mentor them. I started white boarding with Datacenter Virtualization concepts and then slowly on the Cloud concepts. White Board sessions were a good start for her but needed syllabus to continue the learning. I remembered Neil's email about his new free course about "</div>

I always end up doing things at the last minute and most of the times I complete it. vDM30in30 was announced during September end and I decided to participate this year and I had good 1 month time to work on blogs and schedule it for November month but couldn't write a single post to November in advance. When November started, every day I started spending 1-2 hours to prepare contents for each blog post. I picked up preparing the Study Guide for VCAP6-CMA which I was planning from the a long time. Thanks again vDM team for giving me this start.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
New Blog Every Day</h2>
<br />
Following the Blueprint for VCAP6-CMA was easy for me as the topics were in sequence and fortunately my lab was still running on vRA 6.2 version. Somedays it was a great challenge to write a post after having a long day at the office. I still remember the day when I traveled to Dubai from Bangalore for my New Cloud project and I was still pending on that day's post. I was almost fallen asleep while writing the post. I saw so many people participating this time and sharing amazing contents. All thanks to vDM Team for vDM30in30 and bringing the community together to participate and share so much information on all topics.<br />

vCAP6-CMA (Beta) Results</h2>
<br />
I had appeared for VCAP6-CMA (Beta) exam and had exactly started preparing 10 days before the last day of the Beta exam (Sept 03). On November 23rd I received an email stating my VCAP6-CMA Beta exam results were uploaded in Certification Manager, I quickly logged in and saw I had Failed. I didn't get any scorecard or score, so not sure how much I scored. It was quite upsetting but I knew I had done some mistakes especially spending 40 mins on the first question. Below are some tips for everyone who are preparing for this exam<br />
<br />
1. There are 32 questions, do not spend much time on a single question. You may come back anytime during the exam to resume on the previous question.<br />
<br />
2. Some questions are dependent on previous questions, so it is key to complete those questions even if you have to spend little more time. If you are on question #7, then have a glance at question # 8 and 9 and come back to question #7 just to see if it is worth spending more time if you are struck with something. There are some easy questions here are there which can be completed in very short time, so it is ok to risk some extra time which has dependent questions.<br />
<br />
3. Some question have configurations which might take some time to take effect so do not wait refreshing the page or re-running the configuration again. If you are confident about the configuration then proceed with the next question and come back again to see if the chnages have taken effect.<br />
<br />
4. Some question has something broken on purpose, you need to fix it and then complete the task.<br />
<br />
5. Stick to Blueprint topics and set up your lab and practice the tasks.<br />
<br />
6. 32 questions in that given time were just and the exam isn't that difficult. Keep Calm and practice hard in the lab. Time Management is the key.<br />
<br />
7. I had an issue where the backspace key was not working, which is very annoying while you are working on command line especially. On the browser, just highlight the whole word and press the delete key instead of backspace.<br />
<br />
I will appear again and make sure I wouldn't repeat the same mistake again. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">

· Use Property Dictionary to define new Custom Properties<br />

I found many tasks in several Objectives which are common or covers some part of the topic. So you would see similar topic in multiple objectives. The Build Profile topic has been <a href="http://vdm-001.blogspot.com/2016/11/vcap6-cma-beta-objective-41-define.html">covered in Objective 4.1</a>.<br />

<br />
Using the Property Dictionary<br />
<br />
You can use the property dictionary to define new custom properties.<br />
You can customize how properties appear in the user interface.<br />
<br />
- Associate a property name with a user control, such as a check box or drop-down menu.<br />
<br />
- Specify constraints such as minimum and maximum values or validation against a regular expression.<br />
<br />
- Provide descriptive display names for properties or add label text.<br />
<br />
- Group sets of property controls together and specify the order in which they appear.<br />
<br />
Use the following workflow when you define and use a custom property definition.<br />
<br />
1. Add a new property and associate it with a property control type.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Add relevant property attributes to the property.<br />
<br />
Attributes contain additional information such as minimum and maximum values or help text to display with the property. Available attribute types vary depending on the control type.<br />
<br />
3. Add the properties to a blueprint either individually or by using a property group.<br />
A tenant administrator or business group manager can create or edit blueprints.<br />
<br />
4. (Optional) Add a control layout to specify where the properties appear on the machine confirmation page.<br />
<br />

This Objective covers below tasks<br />
<br />
· Evaluate a deployment plan to determine business group and tenant requirements<br />
· Apply the three roles defined in a business group (Admin, support, user)<br />
· Create a new business group<br />
· Modify an existing business group<br />
<br />
VMware <a href="http://pubs.vmware.com/vra-62/index.jsp#com.vmware.vra.concepts.doc/GUID-A51DF13D-9C60-4EF6-8F85-2CE3CCB25D44.html?resultof=%2522%2562%2575%2573%2569%256e%2565%2573%2573%2522%2520%2522%2562%2575%2573%2569%2522%2520%2522%2567%2572%256f%2575%2570%2522%2520">documentation</a><br />
<br />
A business group associates a set of services and resources to a set of users, often corresponding to a line of business, department, or anotherGr organizational unit.<br />
Business groups are managed on the Infrastructure tab but are used throughout the service catalog. Entitlements in the catalog are based on business groups.<br />
To request catalog items, a user must belong to at least one business group. A business group can have access to catalog items specific to that group and to catalog items that are shared between business groups in the same tenant. In IaaS, each business group has one or more reservations that determine on which compute resources the machines that this group requested can be provisioned.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Three Roles - Group Manager, Support, and User</h3>
<br />
A business group must have at least one business group manager, who monitors the resource use for the group and often is an approver for catalog requests. In IaaS, group managers also create and manage machine blueprints for the groups they manage. Business groups can also contain support users, who can request and manage machines on behalf of other group members. Business group managers can also submit requests on behalf of their users. A user can be a member of more than one business group, and can have different roles in different groups.<br />
<br />
Tenant administrators create business groups, create <a href="http://vdm-001.blogspot.com/2016/11/vcap6-cma-beta-objective-41-create-and.html">Machine Prefix</a> before creating the Business Group<br />

<br />
An IaaS administrator can organize virtualization compute resources and cloud endpoints into fabric groups by type and intent. One or more fabric administrators manage the resources in each fabric group.<br />
<br />
Fabric administrators are responsible for creating reservations on the compute resources in their groups to allocate fabric to specific business groups. Fabric groups are created in a specific tenant, but their resources can be made available to users who belong to business groups in all tenants.<br />

Objective 4.3 has below 3 sub-objectives and I would cover the first objective in this post<br />
<br />
· Add / edit Custom Properties to add new attributes or override default attributes<br />
· Create a Build Profile according to Custom Properties from a deployment plan<br />
· Use Property Dictionary to define new Custom Properties<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
· Add / edit Custom Properties to add new attributes or override default attributes</h2>
<div>
VMware has <a href="http://pubs.vmware.com/vra-62/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vrealize-automation-62-custom-properties.pdf">Custom Properties Reference</a> guide which has all the custom properties listed. We would pick some properties in this post</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Log in to vRA and go to Infrastructure > Blueprints > Blueprints and select any Blueprint where you wish you add Custom Property<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6yH_yr74xI397_kQWgQu-wONd7Lg879tPqCCIarjoSnnKaVHwpRbbddqv_HNbYJ5sCRACxNex9F4UDQMIpWTDHd1_YtWArafYojAG74jP2I3-hqJolL54d3sjJub3BRxc97UVrs6ZWe4S/s1600/01.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6yH_yr74xI397_kQWgQu-wONd7Lg879tPqCCIarjoSnnKaVHwpRbbddqv_HNbYJ5sCRACxNex9F4UDQMIpWTDHd1_YtWArafYojAG74jP2I3-hqJolL54d3sjJub3BRxc97UVrs6ZWe4S/s640/01.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
2. Click on the Properties tab and there you would find the location to add new Customer Property<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzW2TDTzTfohS4qF9DJk-bY55z5kSxB3zcrqRY5IVG6OMpNezKXpxAA0GGfmvmGbqpqzPZmVvq8I_Uef1JyPQSBkB7o5weASYyZKs9JittHfXlNPezBrm_wMkDIRmdzUvaxFVW6or-TLe/s1600/02.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivzW2TDTzTfohS4qF9DJk-bY55z5kSxB3zcrqRY5IVG6OMpNezKXpxAA0GGfmvmGbqpqzPZmVvq8I_Uef1JyPQSBkB7o5weASYyZKs9JittHfXlNPezBrm_wMkDIRmdzUvaxFVW6or-TLe/s640/02.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
3. Click on "New Property" and add the required information</div>
<div>
Name = it is case sensitive and you could copy it directly from VMware's <a href="http://pubs.vmware.com/vra-62/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vrealize-automation-62-custom-properties.pdf">Custom Properties Reference</a> guide</div>
<div>
Value = Update the respective value, it depends on the custom property name</div>
<div>
Encrypted = the value field will be encrypted, which is used for Passwords</div>
<div>
Prompt User = If you select yes then during catalog request, the customer will be prompted for input.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FwNM_No8IbpPnVdlseoxUBsx7MzgHT7S22qC1LmyWGVB6kt16Ih789oPhTPfI3fEExGUZmbPCACri4aBbs0l560keGDgPjGutAQb0Q0fogLoGvTaNMMKSteXM5bEgTTWrdjaoCLdanhE/s1600/03.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FwNM_No8IbpPnVdlseoxUBsx7MzgHT7S22qC1LmyWGVB6kt16Ih789oPhTPfI3fEExGUZmbPCACri4aBbs0l560keGDgPjGutAQb0Q0fogLoGvTaNMMKSteXM5bEgTTWrdjaoCLdanhE/s640/03.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In this example, I am using some common Properties like</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. VirtualMachine.Network0.ProfileName = you define this when you have multiple Network profile, this makes sure the vRA VM gets the proper networking under defined reservation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
You can get the name from “Infrastructure > Reservations > Network Profiles"</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. VirtualMachine.Network0.Name = This connects to the respective port group of vCenter. </div>
<div>
This should be the name of vCenter Network Portgroup. This is case sensitive.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.EndpointName = when there are multiple vCO endpoints and if you wish to dedicate specific vCO for Blueprints.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. VMware.VirtualCenter.Folder = Specifies the name of the inventory folder in the datacenter in which to put the virtual machine. The default is VRM, which is also the vSphere folder in which vRealize Automation places provisioned machines if the property is not used.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Hostname = Specifies the host machine name, overriding the generated machine name contained in the VirtualMachine.Admin.Name property. If Hostname is not used, the VirtualMachine.Admin.Name value is used as the machine name. This property is not valid for multi-machine blueprints.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Note</u></b> that the value for this property is left blank and Prompt User is checked.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Click on OK to save the changes and update the Blueprint. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now when the VM is deployed from this Blueprint, all the Custom Properties will be applied to add new attributes. Also, for Multiple Custom Properties, the best practice is to keep them together in a Build Profile and apply the Build Profile on applicable Blueprints.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To edit the custom property click on the pencil button and make the desired changes and click on green check to save the settings.<br />

This is the second part of Objective 4.2. You could find the Part 01 <a href="http://vdm-001.blogspot.com/2016/11/vcap6-cma-beta-objective-42-publish.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and in this part I would cover below sub-objectives<br />
<br />
· Create / Configure an approval policy<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 11pt;">
<h2 style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small;">· Create / Configure an approval policy</span></span></h2>
<div style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">VMware <a href="http://pubs.vmware.com/vra-62/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vrealize-automation-62-tenant-administration.pdf" target="_blank">documentation</a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 11pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">A tenant administrator or business group manager can associate an approval policy with any service,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">catalog item, or action as part of entitling the items or actions to users.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">A tenant administrator or an approval administrator can create approval policies. Each approval policy has</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">an approval policy type that determines to what requests that policy can apply. For example, you can apply</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">some policies only to new catalog item requests, or requests for a specific type of item. You can apply other</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">policies only to post-provisioning actions or to a specific action on provisioned items.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">For example, an approval policy can define the following phases:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">01: A Pre-Provisioning approval phase must be complete before provisioning a requested item</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;">02: A Post-Provisioning phase occurs after the item is already provisioned but before it is released to the owner</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: calibri; font-size: 14.6667px;">Now if we are looking for Approval policy at Pre-Provisioning phase, then it is the straight forward and goes for approval before provisioning starts, whereas Post-Provisioning phase gives some customization options like calling vRealize Orchestrator workflows to perform tasks and then goes for the Approval after the item is provisioned but before it is released to the owner. If this requested is rejected, then the provisioned item is destroyed.</span><br />

<br />
Notice the scenario where I have Clause for CPU, Memory and storage, if the requester exceeds any one value then the request goes for Approval.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Important</u></b>: The options depends on the "Policy Type" you select.<br />
<br />
Similarly, you can defined several scenarios depending on the Business Requirements.<br />

Install and set up the Application Services virtual appliance </h2>
<div>
I have already posted about this and you could find it <a href="http://vdm-001.blogspot.com/2015/08/install-and-configure-vrealize.html">here</a>. Deploying the Application Services Appliance is straight forward as any other vSphere Appliance. Before you deploy the Application Services appliance, make sure you have created the IP Pool at the Datacenter level and associated the right Network Pool. </div>

Configure Application Services to use a proxy</h2>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if you use Application Services only to deploy applications in a private cloud, some deployments might require access to URLs from outside the corporate firewall. For example, an action script might involve downloading application bits from an open-source Web site. You can configure Application Services to use a proxy for these cases.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Note</b>: In my lab, I am not using proxy, but are the steps needed to configure proxy settings</div>

<div>
- If a blueprint does not specify a lease period, machines are provisioned from that blueprint with no expiration date.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- If a blueprint specifies a single value for lease duration, machines are provisioned from that blueprint with the lease duration specified in the blueprint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- If a blueprint specifies a range of possible lease durations, a user can select the desired lease duration when submitting the machine request. Machine requests can be subject to approval based on the requested lease duration.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The lease duration can be changed after a machine is provisioned. A typical use case is for a machine owner to extend the lease past its original expiration date. The following considerations apply to modifying the lease on a provisioned machine:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Users must be entitled to the Change Lease action to modify a lease.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- The new expiration date is not subject to the constraints on lease duration specified in the blueprint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Tenant administrators or approval administrators can create approval policies of the type Service Catalog - Resource Action Request (Change Lease). The policy can be configured so that approval is always required for lease modifications, or approval can be conditional based on criteria such as the new lease duration or the cost of the machine.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tenant administrators can also request that a machine owner releases a provisioned machine for reclamation, which might result in a shortened lease period.</div>

To Create Lease </h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Login to vRA and go to Infrastructure > Blueprints > Blueprints and select the Blueprint on which you wish to set the Lease </div>
</div>
<div>

Machine blueprints determine a machine's attributes, the manner in which it is provisioned, and its policy and management settings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A tenant administrator or business group manager allows users to provision multi-machine services by creating one or more entitled multi-machine blueprints. Before you create a multi-machine blueprint, you must first create blueprints for each of the component machines to include in the multi-machine service. A multi-machine blueprint contains references to component blueprints. The component blueprints must be available to the same business groups as the multi-machine blueprint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A multi-machine blueprint includes information that applies only to a multi-machine service as a whole. Configuration options, such as a reservation policy, apply only to component machines.</div>

Define build profiles/custom properties</h2>
Build Profile is a collection of multiple custom properties in a single place also it consists many "Property Sets" out of the box. So, you could create some new fields in the vRA request form using Property Dictionary and make it part of the Build Profile or use the Property set or just multiple custom properties.<br />
<br />
Here we will define a new Build Profiles using AD Cleanup Property Set and in future, we can add Property Dictionary to the same Build Profile.This is very common property set which will clean up the AD records when the vRA controlled VM is destroyed<br />
<br />
1. Login to vRA and go to Infrastructure > Blueprints > Build Profiles<br />

<div>
5. Now login to vRA and go to Infrastructure>Blueprints>Blueprints and click on the Blueprint which you selected in the above step and click on the Properties tab<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Rdyqh_k6hYKXHvJehqDYHDlzBA6G6IfXz8O7WCiE_4BFWxEMP1NSYPfjfqM3FsiUVy3TkZ8S7GJgl4K3RLmjQzyY7nRl5gIaaQOhGIdj6iIeggtY3miarYxHGTe_pVzhHR47sSHazIK4/s1600/12.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Rdyqh_k6hYKXHvJehqDYHDlzBA6G6IfXz8O7WCiE_4BFWxEMP1NSYPfjfqM3FsiUVy3TkZ8S7GJgl4K3RLmjQzyY7nRl5gIaaQOhGIdj6iIeggtY3miarYxHGTe_pVzhHR47sSHazIK4/s640/12.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
you should see a new custom property named "ExternalWFStubs.BuildingMachine" and the value should be the workflow ID </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Similarly, you can add any workflow during the state changes of vRA VM lifecycle</div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Associate a vRO endpoint with a machine blueprint</h2>
<div>
when you have multiple vROs or multiple tenants which has their own vRO clusters which is in most of the distributed environments, you can associate a vRO endpoint with a machine blueprint. vRA has a <a href="http://pubs.vmware.com/vra-62/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vrealize-automation-62-custom-properties.pdf" target="_blank">Custom Properties Reference guide</a> for all the advanced custom properties and there is a property called "VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.EndpointName"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Login to vRA and go to Infrastructure>Blueprints>Blueprints and click on the Blueprint in question and click on the properties tab</div>
<div>
2. Click on the green plus for New Property of custom properties and enter the property name "VMware.VCenterOrchestrator.EndpointName" and under value enter the name of the vRO which is added as Endpoint and click on the green check to save. And then click on OK to update the Blueprint.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobIBJvOmVnB6ZTQ4E9SXnd8Ac9uwDHLmNtwI04WFrhHTAO6MFlgDP_bONMeXW21Un4FFExJvNfyp-bbcUPDH3_yp-a6cw8rNaMvkoFNXcgZ7yHKHKFbmoqZpMcpdgGm0oKy-xniyNydG-/s1600/13.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobIBJvOmVnB6ZTQ4E9SXnd8Ac9uwDHLmNtwI04WFrhHTAO6MFlgDP_bONMeXW21Un4FFExJvNfyp-bbcUPDH3_yp-a6cw8rNaMvkoFNXcgZ7yHKHKFbmoqZpMcpdgGm0oKy-xniyNydG-/s640/13.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Add Application Versioning</h2>
</div>
<div>
1. login to Application Services and click on the desired Application<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GFFAmk6vZVzaDX1X5wYkf81VuRcI4h-lOEh1XyRaFax06TqKFm0pQd8yYHqoWCIdYt6Wo9xAoC21qTsPRkTqWMqrWSGEQEo_q9O8CsN57s9pOO3exsdZNSu4NYx4pOoZSJWaJChWq7z8/s1600/01.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GFFAmk6vZVzaDX1X5wYkf81VuRcI4h-lOEh1XyRaFax06TqKFm0pQd8yYHqoWCIdYt6Wo9xAoC21qTsPRkTqWMqrWSGEQEo_q9O8CsN57s9pOO3exsdZNSu4NYx4pOoZSJWaJChWq7z8/s640/01.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
2. A Single Application can have multiple version, you can find the Application Versions at the bottom</div>
<div>
3. Click on the Green plus next to Application Versions, increase the version number and click on Save<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUqZm6raTPbUrVkecSbNK7Bltak02C9hYrtOKf6VBs0QcE9cLfOOrLyqvgTvjj0ud7utJogMkcpUwhXEOwjZn0kP8GrCSFHPz01_Os9ISMQ62KD9ZOB-uViHRmUjz8uqezR2UE99WV43qQ/s1600/02.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUqZm6raTPbUrVkecSbNK7Bltak02C9hYrtOKf6VBs0QcE9cLfOOrLyqvgTvjj0ud7utJogMkcpUwhXEOwjZn0kP8GrCSFHPz01_Os9ISMQ62KD9ZOB-uViHRmUjz8uqezR2UE99WV43qQ/s640/02.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
4. Now click on Create Blueprint and prepare your Application, Here I will create 2 Nodes and install .NET and then IIS 8.5. I have defined the sequence by arrows as which application will be installed first on each machine and also I have added the application deployment sequence for applications between VMs. This could be used for multi-tier Applications. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQxRL1P0PA5KL7amz_jVx_BBbdHoAglxPmJiLBjnb53fpAvIbK4akAkxwD4ZhuZc0ugsamIVR6mpQXd9BbJ6w-NaxOGMedPGYWA7sQ9kJRtLq1us3OgbkgGUa7J1dqfMud81kffSeDhblg/s1600/03.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQxRL1P0PA5KL7amz_jVx_BBbdHoAglxPmJiLBjnb53fpAvIbK4akAkxwD4ZhuZc0ugsamIVR6mpQXd9BbJ6w-NaxOGMedPGYWA7sQ9kJRtLq1us3OgbkgGUa7J1dqfMud81kffSeDhblg/s640/03.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
5. Click On Save and Deploy if you wish to publish to vRA or deploy directly from Application Services.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div>
6. Now under the Application, you see 2 versions. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVwb8mBxEMkya8cBSLO63iIAd0NXMSRCmrY5ojVov2V3wZwhrGSi8Yz8OdlsXy_Y5ZJxM6TVGwQAk-657n4Bbo05w58Kso3eTAZTzWS2bbm6HCs9KBXoDp-tIunMFi64goicIsPbn_sNXF/s1600/08.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVwb8mBxEMkya8cBSLO63iIAd0NXMSRCmrY5ojVov2V3wZwhrGSi8Yz8OdlsXy_Y5ZJxM6TVGwQAk-657n4Bbo05w58Kso3eTAZTzWS2bbm6HCs9KBXoDp-tIunMFi64goicIsPbn_sNXF/s640/08.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Delete an Application Version </h2>
<div>
1. Login to Application Services and when you hover the mouse on the cross of Application box, you would get the message "This Application cannot be deleted because it contains sub-objects.</div>
<div>
2. Click on the Application and Delete the Application version by clicking on the red cross of the version box.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3bD827otXGc1ZeTxSzTmdsA3Db4SG1AInXSWl7-3IZ5g9O-duH4rNEmtgvlJVbDz8P8ozz-hm_3cWMKv8vlIBngYzab_NxM0DJVWgimur3o_lEbReW-PCNn35ploKecWW3crvEgEO_drb/s1600/07.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3bD827otXGc1ZeTxSzTmdsA3Db4SG1AInXSWl7-3IZ5g9O-duH4rNEmtgvlJVbDz8P8ozz-hm_3cWMKv8vlIBngYzab_NxM0DJVWgimur3o_lEbReW-PCNn35ploKecWW3crvEgEO_drb/s640/07.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
3. If there is an Application already deployed from this version then it is required to delete the deployment and then delete the Application version. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Deleting the Deployment doesn't delete the Application deployed but if you had prepared Teardown in the service and if you select the teardown for the deployment then it will delete the Application.</div>
<div>

This is the continuation of objective 7.2, where we created the Application Blueprint. In this post, we will publish the Application Blueprint which we created<br />
<br />
Before we start, we need to make sure your Application Services is ready with<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://vdm-001.blogspot.com/2016/11/manually-register-vrealize-application.html" target="_blank">vRA and Application Service is registered</a><br />
