User-defined tags identify groups of resources and can be referenced in application
processes.
About this task
Applications can be configured to use or ignore resources with a specific tag. For example,
a continually running environment might take one group of blue-tagged servers offline to update
them, then put them back online and take another green-tagged group offline.
Procedure
- Open the Resources page.
- Select the check box associated with the resource.
- Open the Tag Resource dialog box by selecting the Add
Tag command from the Actions list.
- Select a tag from the Name widget.
- Optional. If the tag you need is not available, do the following steps:
- Enter the tag in the Name widget and press the Tab key.
- Select a color from the color widget. A tag must have an associated color.
- Save your work.
What to do next
Many application process steps can reference user-defined tags. To use a tag, specify the
tag with the
Limit to Tag parameter for the step. For information about
application processes, see
