Service Catalogue Theory of Ops Dynamic Request Form on the Portal Author Request Template Service Request Templates defines business processes Service Catalog Portal home page Integrated CMDB CloudsUsersFabricTemplatesServices VMs Runbooks Role- based access Processes defined here drives automation Author Request Offerings Request Offering maps User Input to Service Request Template Author Service Offerings Service Offerings is a collection of requests Request triggers Workflows, approvals, notifications as defined by processes in templates

Request Template CMDB SCO Runbook SCO Web Service 1. SCO Connector syncs Runbook data to CMDB 3. Admin adds to request template includes RB activity, added to Service Catalogue 6. SM workflow monitors RB status SM Runbook Items Runbook Activity 2. Admin uses SM task to create RB activity w/ parameters mapped to properties Service Request 4. User creates SR from request offering 5. Runbook invoked with user inputs SCO Connector Service Catalog - Request Offering SCO Runbook SM Runbooks Folder Invoke Monitor Request processes drive automation
