Add a
VMware Aria Automation
content endpoint in
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

You can add capture, test, deploy, or check in a content package by using the Content Management service in
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
to add a
VMware Aria Automation
content endpoint.
Verify that you have added at least one
VMware Aria Automation
endpoint.
If the
VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator
is embedded, there is no separate instance of
VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator
endpoint.
VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator
endpoint creation is required only if you are using an external
VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator
endpoint for
VMware Aria Automation
.
  1. On the
    My Services
    dashboard, click
    Content Management
    .
  2. Under
    Endpoints
    , click
    NEW ENDPOINT
  3. Click
    Automation
    .
  4. Enter the information for the
    VMware Aria Automation
    content endpoint.
    1. In the
      Name
      field, enter a unique name for the endpoint.
    2. Select the product version of the endpoint from the
      Endpoint Version
      drop-down menu.
    3. In the
      Tags
      field, enter tags associated with the endpoint.
      With tags, you can deploy content to multiple endpoints at the same time. When you deploy content, you can select a tag instead of individual content endpoint names, and the content deploys to all endpoints that have that tag.
      To add multiple tags, press
      Enter
      after you enter each tag.
    4. In the
      Sever FQDN/IP
      field, enter the fully qualified server name, IP address, or host name for the content endpoint server.
      When adding an endpoint for a particular tenant, tenant based FQDN must be used as a server. For a system-based domain, use the user FQDN without a tenant.
      IP addresses are not supported for adding
      VMware Aria Automation
      8.x endpoints.
    5. Enter a tenant name, user name, and password to access the content endpoint.
    6. Select an external or embedded
      VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator
      endpoint to associate from the
      vRO Server Endpoint
      drop-down menu.
    When selecting a user account for exporting or importing content into
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    , ensure that the account has all roles. The
    Secure Export Consumer
    role allows
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    to export passwords. Exported passwords can be imported into other
    VMware Aria Automation
    endpoints.
  5. Press
    TEST CONNECTION
    to test the connection to the content endpoint.
    If the connection test fails, verify that the information you entered for the content endpoint is correct and try again.
  6. Click
    Next
    .
  7. Select the appropriate policies for the content endpoint and click
    Next
    .
    For more information about policies, see Working with content endpoints in VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
  8. Verify that the content endpoint details are correct and click
    Submit
    .
