Define vRealize® Blueprints and Actions

Use Table Management in the CSM Desktop Client to define imported vRealize® blueprints and actions. When you define the blueprint, you provide midpoint values and have the option to provide a description. When you define the actions, you must select the Request Action One-Step for each VM Action record; the One-Step Action determines the appropriate second day action by using JSON to send the action ID to vRealize® and then interpreting and executing the JSON when it returns from vRealize®.

To define mApp Solution blueprints and actions:

1. Open the Table Management interface.
2. In the Type drop-down, select VM Blueprint.
3. In the Grid, select a blueprint.
