Configuring services and entitlements in VMware vRealize Automation

After you configure the integration with VMware vRealize Automation Enterprise, you can create a default service and a default entitlement to use with the blueprint designer.

You can create a default service and a default entitlement in VMware vRealize Automation Enterprise for the blueprint designer to use. If you create a new service and entitlement for the blueprint designer, you do not need to specify these values in blueprints that you create in the blueprint designer. If you do not create the IBM UrbanCode Provision Service service and IBM UrbanCode Entitlement entitlement, as described below, you must specify the service and entitlement to use in each blueprint that you create. See Modeling environments for VMware vRealize Automation.
