30.1 Creating a Legal Agreement

Roles that Can Perform This Task: Cloud Administrator, Catalog Manager

As a Cloud Administrator or a Catalog Manager, you can create (or copy and paste) legal agreement text that you can associate with add-on applications or services or to workload templates that use such add-ons. When created, these legal agreements are listed in the Cloud Manager catalog. From the catalog, you can edit a legal agreement that has not yet been accepted by a user as part of a workload or you can view it to check its associations. A legal agreement cannot be edited or deleted after it has been accepted by a user.

An add-on service can be associated to multiple workload templates. For example, two similar workload templates might offer the same service.

  1. On the main navigation bar, click Catalog.

  2. Click Legal Agreements, then click Create to open a Create Legal Agreement dialog box.

  3. In the General section of the dialog box, provide the following details for the legal agreement:

    Name: Specify a name for the legal agreement. The same legal agreement can be associated to one or more workload templates, add-on applications or add-on services.

    Version: Define a version of the legal agreement. This helps you track the changes in legal agreements from the software vendor, or from you as a service provider.

    Agreement Text: Enter (or copy and paste) text that describes the terms, conditions, or legal agreements that must be accepted by a business service sponsor or the requestor of the add-on application or service. These terms must be accepted prior to adding a workload to a business service request.

    Creation Date: Displays the current date.

  4. (Optional) You can associate the legal agreement with one or more workload templates:

    1. Under Associations, click the Workload Templates tab.

    2. Click Add to display the Add Workload Templates dialog box

    3. Select the workload templates to add.

      You can Shift-click and Ctrl-click to select multiple workload templates.

    4. Click OK to add the selected workload templates to the Workload Templates list.

  5. (Optional) You can associate the legal agreement with an add-on service or an add-on application.

    1. Under Associations, click the Add-Ons tab.

    2. Choose either Applications or Services, then click Add to display the list of available applications or services that you can choose to associate to this legal agreement.

    3. On the Applications or Services dialog box, choose one or more applications or services to which you want to associate this legal agreement, click OK, then click Save.
