Creating catalog
A catalog is a container for one or more offerings that can be requested by an end user. The Service Designer can create a catalog using the Catalogs application, and then add the offerings to it. The Offering Catalog application uses the catalog to present the offerings to an end user in an easily accessible and searchable manner.
Follow the below steps to create a catalog and add the offerings that you created in Creating offerings.
- Go to the Catalogs application and click Insert a Catalog on the left-hand side navigation panel.
- Fill in the fields such as Catalog name, Catalog description, and select Item
Set. For example:
- Catalog: Enter catalog name, such as ManageIQ_AWS_Catalog.
- Catalog description: Enter catalog description, such as ManageIQ_AWS_Catalog.
- Item Set: Select Item Set, such as PMSCS1.
- Save the catalog and change status to Active.
- Go to the Offerings tab and click Add Offering. Add all the offerings that you created in Creating offerings, for example, MIQ_VM_PROVISING, MIQ_VM_START_INSTANCE, and MIQ_VM_STOP_INSTANCE.
- Save the catalog.
