Description of problem: Not able to set the retirement date and retirement warning date for a Catalog Item, but can for a Catalog Bundle. This should be consistent across both. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.5 How reproducible:
The retirement section on catalogs items is for the VM provision template. A generic and orchestration catalog items would not show a retirement option since they are not derived from the provisioning dialogs. This creates an issue on the Service side since the VM can be retired out from under the service. I think the best option here is to hide the retirement selection on the VM provision dialog screen when displaying as part of a catalog item and add support for it from the service dialogs so it applies to the entire service. John - Does this approach sound reasonable?
Hi Greg, I've heard from the field that customers provision and/or move VMs into an existing service in which case they'd have their own retirement dates. It's not unusual to want to retire only one VM from a service since customers some times use services only as a means to provision VMs and remove the service after provisioning. We have a PR that enables users to set a retirement date for Catalog Items/Bundles and wonder if its possible that we should leave the retirement selection on the VM provision dialog. Thanks, Tina
