    • 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.

      Hinweis:

      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;
                },
