You can create service profiles in the Service Profiler and can use them as templates to create services and management profiles. For example, assume that you commonly create services that are based on server operating systems that are combined with the following other service elements:
- Port numbers
- Discovered components
- Discovered applications
You can create a service profile for each operating system in your environment, then use the service profile to create a service and management profile.
Follow these steps:
- (Optional) Click Management, Services, from theCA Configuration AutomationServer UI.
- Select a Service In the Services table.
- Select Service Profiler from the Table Actions drop-down list.
- (Optional) Enter the following URL in your browser address field:
For example, enter http://ccaServer1:8080/TransformUI.jsp.http://:CA Configuration AutomationServerNameport/TransformUI.jspThe Service Profiler opens in a new browser window. - In the Service Profiler, click + in the Service Profile pane to create a service profile.
- Click + to expand the Graph Content panel, then click one or more of the following panels to select corresponding profile elements to add:
