You can use Apps Manager to add and bind service instances through the Marketplace for your TAS for VMs deployment. The Marketplace offers self-service, on-demand provisioning of add-on services.
For more information about how to add Managed Services to your Cloud Foundry deployment, refer to the Services topics.
To use a service with your application, you must access the Services Marketplace, create and configure an instance of the service, then bind the service instance to your application.
Step 1: Access the Marketplace
Follow these steps to access the Marketplace.
-
Log in to Apps Manager for your Cloud Foundry deployment.
-
In the left navigation panel, click Marketplace.
You can access the Marketplace from a space page or from an app dashboard.
Step 2: Create and configure a service instance
Follow these steps to create and configure an instance of a service.
-
In the Marketplaces, select a service.
-
Select a plan from the left column, and click Select this plan.
-
Finish the Configure Instance form with the following information:
- Instance Name: Create a name for this instance of the service. Service instance names must be unique within a space.
- Add to Space: From the drop-down list, select the space where you want to add the service instance.
- Bind to App: From the drop-down menu, select an app. Click [do not bind] if you do not want to bind the service instance to any app at this time.
-
Click Add to add the service instance. PWS creates the service instance in the selected space. If you specify an app, PWS binds the service instance to the app.
Step 3: Bind a service instance to an application
Follow these steps to bind an existing service instance to an application.
-
In the Spaces section of the left navigation panel, select a space.
-
In the Apps table of the Space page, click the row listing the application you want to bind. This opens the App Dashboard.
-
On the App Dashboard, select the Services tab.
-
In the Services panel, click Bind a Service.
-
Select a service from the Select a service drop-down menu. Information about the selected service appears on the right.
- If it is a shared service running in a space that you do not have access to, Apps Manager lists the space’s GUID. In previous patch versions, Apps Manager listed the space’s name.
-
Click Bind.
