Create an action for an 'on Blueprint provision' policy

The on Blueprint provision trigger fires after execution of on Catalog item request start policies. A policy that is triggered by the on Blueprint provision trigger can run a script, override a user-requested attribute value, or abort and send a message about the provision operation.

Before you begin

Optional: Create one or more cloud policy groups.

Configure a cloud policy rule

Role required: sn_cmp.cloud_governor or admin

Procedure

  1. In the Cloud Admin Portal, navigate to Govern > Policies.

  2. Open a cloud policy and set the policy to the Draft state if needed.

  3. Open the rule that should perform the action and then click New on the Policy Rule Actions related list.

  4. On the popup, click Create for the type of action to perform, enter a unique and meaningful Action Name, and then fill in the form for the action.

Note:

When both a policy rule and a form rule overwrite a value, the value in the form rule is used.

Expressions can perform the following actions (see Using expressions in Cloud Provisioning and Governance for details):

  • Set form data values using definition expressions. For example: ${parameter.formData.CatalogAttributeType}
  • Assign user data values using definition expressions. For example: ${parameter.userData.userId}

For example, the following value can set the stack name to Stack_Bob.Smith@company.com: Stack_${parameter.userData.userId}

  • Set stack or table values using runtime expressions.

For example: $(ci.sn_cmp_ip_pool[subnet=${parameter.formData.Subnet Id}]) takes the subnet from the IP Pools table.

  • Associate a random number with a field using static expressions. Use: ${randomNumber}
Is Script Based

Select the check box to display the Script text box and then specify the script.You can use the following example script snippet to override a stack name. The function( formData) section of the script modifies the values for fields on the form. MyStack is the stack name in this example.

``` customScript : function( formData){ // Manipulation of form parameter is only supported here. // Change in any other attributes will be ignored // data available for manipulation are // Form Data - Ex. StackName can be accessed // through formData.StackName // formData.StackName = "MyStack"; // User Data - Ex. User Id can be accessed // through this.parameters.userData // if(this.parameter.userData.userId == 'servicenowuserId') formData.StackName = "MyStack"; return formData; },

```
