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.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have added at least one VMware Aria Automation endpoint.
Note: 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.

Procedure

  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.
