Add content

You can use

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

to add content from an existing content endpoint.

Verify that you have added a content endpoint.

On the

My Services

dashboard, click

Content Management

Under

Content

, click

ADD CONTENT

If a version has already been captured, a content can be added either with the

Add Content

button or with an inline capture.

Select, test, or deploy the content package in addition to capturing it, and click

PROCEED

Enter the capture details for the content package.

From the

Select Capture Endpoint

drop-down menu, select one or multiple content types to capture.

Enter a tag name and select

Include all dependencies

to capture any dependencies associated with the content.

You can search for content by tag name.

Enter the

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

package name.

Any spaces in the name are replaced with an _ underscore character and a

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

package name.

The

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

package name is applicable only for

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

VMware Aria Automation

content having some

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

dependencies.

If you provide a new name, all the

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

contents are merged into one package. If you select an existing name from the drop-down menu, then a new version of the package is created and merges all

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

contents to the version. If a package version already exists for the endpoint, the new package version will contain old and new content.

If the

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

package is not captured prior, a new version is created but the content might not be the same as the previous version. Deploy the added

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

package to the

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

content endpoint first to append the content. If you do not enter any package name, then the name of the

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

package matches to the content that is captured with an added

-vro

as part of the name. All the discovered and captured

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

content, including individual workflows in the content files, appear in the created

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

package.

If the content is ready for production, select

Mark this version as production ready

Enter a description for the content version in the

Comments

field.

Click

When you list the content for the first time for an endpoint, the system retrieves the content from the endpoint. After the content is captured, it is cached and the captured content is automatically refreshed every 30 minutes. You can select the

Get latest content

option to retrieve the content in between this 30 minute interval.

If prompted, enter test details for the content endpoint.

Select one or more content endpoints to specify the environments to run tests on.

Select

Deploy Content

to deploy the content in the endpoint before running tests.

Select

Stop test deployment on first failure

to stop the test deployment when it encounters an error.

Select

Run unit tests

to run available unit tests on the content.

Select

Stop unit tests on first failure

to stop testing if any unit test fails.

Select a server to run unit tests on from the

Select a Unit Test Server

drop-down menu.

You must have a

VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator

test package imported to use a unit test server.

Click

If prompted, enter the check-in details for the content package.

Select one or more content endpoints from the

Select Release Endpoints

drop-down menu to specify the production environments where the system releases the content.

Click

SUBMIT

If you have selected a single content capture, you can view a single content pipeline. If you have selected multiple content captures, individual capture pipelines are deployed.
