Hi,
I have been experimenting with creating a plugin and using the IEndpointConfigurationService to persist information like username, password and objects. But I think I have now saved data that will not deserialize properly and thus gives error when I use the api. Is there any way to reset the database in VRO or remove the data in the VRO storage where the endpointconfigurationservice saves it stuff?
thanks
Hello,
I have Downloaded VCO VA 5.1 and installed it , now i am trying to register VCO to SSO server for SSO authentication, i am getting below error
"Server returned 'request expired' less than 0 seconds after request was issued, but it shouldn't have expired for at least 600 seconds."
I am following http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-20368 and so far all went as decribed in this guide but now an stuck while SSO registration. Does any one have any idea or have come accross this error.
i had checked communication between SSO server and VCO server is perfect and also Certificate are also valid.
i would really appriciate your help and guideline to fix this issue.

Hi i found this code in the forums. Im new with vRO, how do you specify whch VMs are to be moved? And how do you move both storage and hosts?
**This code loops through all the VMs you select to migrate one at a time, it waits for the storage vMotion to complete for each VM before it executes the loop again for the next VM.
If you do want to do the storage vMotion in parallel for some VMs you can duplicate the code and just remove the line
**and vRO will just execute the loop for each VM in parallel.
Thanks
Hi,
I the entity management model in vRO I can "link" a child entity to its parent, however I can't get the "unlink" to work.
For example: if I want to link a VM to a parent VM object, I do:
:
:
// Attach the parentEntity
var updateLinks = new Properties;
updateLinks.put('ParentVirtualMachine', parentEntity);
var vcacEntity = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vcac").updateVCACEntity(nodeEntity.hostId, nodeEntity.modelName, nodeEntity.entitySetName, nodeEntity.keyString, nodeProperties, updateLinks, headers);
and v.v. for the "unlink" action:
:
:
// Detach the parent
var updateLinks = new Properties;
updateLinks.put('ParentVirtualMachine', null);
var vcacEntity = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vcac").updateVCACEntity(nodeEntity.hostId, nodeEntity.modelName, nodeEntity.entitySetName, nodeEntity.keyString, nodeProperties, updateLinks, headers);
I am using LINQPad so I can see the results of each test. The "link" as shown above does populate the releationships (ParentVirtualMachine, ChildVirtualMachines), but the "unlink" does not seem to have any effect?

Hello,
I've just gotten into a situation where, when I'm editing a workflow in the vRO client, if I drop a workflow element on the screen, the picker, which lets me find the actual workflow I want to use, is either fully or partially off screen. This only recently started happening and I can't figure out what I did to cause it. The only thing I did was move my window from one monitor to another which changed resolutions slightly. I've moved things back, restarted, everything I can think of but it doesn't "reset".
When the picker is partially visible, I could use it if I could move the darn thing but it can't be dragged into a different position. This is maddening. Is anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?
The picture below shows an example. I went to 25% zoom and dropped a workflow on one of the lower connectors. The picker popped up down in the lower right corner and extends below the window. I can't see the rest of the scroll window and I can't move the picker up.
Thanks
Hi All,
I recently installed the NSX Plugin to vCO and I added my NSX manager. In the NSX workflows I can see the "Apply security tags on VM" but I cannot see a workflow that would let me remove a security tag from VM. Does anyone have any idea to do this?
Thanks,

Hello
when I want to start a workflow with a presentation linked to actions filters
the workflow does not work
can some one help me to figure-out this issue?
Regards
more informations
the présentation filter uses an action that uses the currentldapuser and compares it's groups to groups in configuration and export a Parent folder associated to this group
here is the code I use in the action and it works when using it directly in a scriptable task
it does not work when used as a presentation filter
specify a root object to be shown in the chooser. getaction("ingenierie",getParentFolderFromConnectedUser").call(#Prod)
var currentLdapUser = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.ldap").getCurrentLdapUser() ;
var groups = currentLdapUser.groups;
var category = Server.getConfigurationElementCategoryWithPath("groupesFTV");
Server.log(currentLdapUser.groups);
var elements = category.configurationElements;
for (i= 0; i < elements.length; i++) { var currentElement = elements[i]; for (x=0; x < groups.length; x++) { if( currentElement.getAttributeWithKey("groupe").value == groups[x]) { if(!Prod) { var attribute = currentElement.getAttributeWithKey("folderNonProduction"); } else var attribute = currentElement.getAttributeWithKey("folderProduction"); Server.log(attribute.value); return attribute.value; } }

Hi
I'm pretty new to vRealize Orchestrator.
I planed to clone a windows server and then install a windows feature to this cloned Windows VM.
Do I have to do this with a powershell host or how it works?
Thanks for your help.
Andi
I want to get ESXi and VMs performance data by the Orchestrator. It is Get-Stat in the PowerCLI.
Please give me the sample code.
In my workflow presentation I'd like to have user type in a VM name and select it from a drop down list into array. I am using Array/vCloud:VM as input. However, vCO presentation search list is timing out with this error:
vCenter plugin seems to be producing results but at this time I need to work with vCD objects.
Has anyone seen anything like this? (vCO 7.1/vCDplugin 5.5.1.2).
Hi All,
I have some issues while retrieving variables specified in a script, using the Guest Script Manager Package.
Example of my script:
Bash:
myVar = "Hello World"
echo $myVar
When I execute the "Run in Script VM Guest", I noticed that the $myVar is empty/null
Any idea how can I retrieve this variable in the script?
This is not a patch release, but drop-in replacement of the implementation of the vCenter plug-in 6.5 for vRealize Orchestrator
Although the plugin version is 6.5, the plugin implementation is completely redesigned, by keeping the existing content
The release is planned with vRealize Orchestrator 7.3
The new plug-in offers:
For 7.3 release following integrations were delivered:
The plugin is compatible with vRO version is compatible with version 7.2 and 7.3
Few of the workflows are changed to reflect the minor incompatible changes in the API, so these will be overwritten during install.
The plugin can be installed in the standard way
After a vRO upgrade from 7.0.1 to 7.2, some of our workflows have been failing intermittently. Our workflows are designed to make multiple use of the canned VMware workflow: Get virtual machines by name
I would estimate that less than 1% of time we get a failure on that workflow, and this is the type of error we see in the logs when it happens.
[2017-02-27 18:09:53.462] [E] Error in (Workflow:Get vCenter entities by properties / pc.retrievePropertiesEx (item1)#10) java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
I am working around the issue, by having our workflow retry the problematic workflow when it errors out, but wondering if anyone else has noticed this in their environments.
I am just starting to work with vRO and so far have been just going through some training to get the fundamentals down. In one of my training sections it started to discuss vAPI, so I did some research and found an article about it.
https://cto.vmware.com/vmwares-solution-to-api-challenges/
I am just trying to make sure I understand this correctly, but is vAPI (looks like it was vCloud Suite SDK and now vRealize Automation SDK) a new set of APIs that will become standardized across all VMware platforms? And if I understand that correctly, my main question is vAPI going to end up taking over the current VMware APIs we use in vRO now?
Since I am just starting to get into this I might as well learn the features available in vAPI now if this is going to become the standardized API across everything in the future. I may be understanding this entirely wrong too, which is why I am here to try and clarify.
Thanks!

Hey guys,
We seem to have hit a bug with vRO web plugin that causes an error 1009 when you select certain things in the web interface. We are running the latest version of vCenter 6.5 and vRO. Since we have hit an issue i had to remove the plugin in the web interface and start directing users to use the vRO java client itself to execute things, but i am finding that there is alot of wait time just running the workflow presentation. Does anyone know if there is a way to speed the loading of a workflow in java much like the plugin does? Sometimes it seems it attempts to grab the last cache of data while its loading to prefill object? When it does load sometimes the dynamic data takes a little longer to pull vs the plugin.
Thanks for the help!
I am customizing my email notifications and need some help with one area. Pulling the owner information, bill@me.local for example, works fine. However, the owner's email address is different, bill@me.com for example. Is there a property that contains the owner's email address?
Thanks
Hi,
In vCO there is a standard Action that looks like this:
----------
// Get all Virtual Machines for all vCenter connections defined for this plugin
var allVms = VcPlugin.getAllVirtualMachines();
var vms = new Array();
// Check if the VM match the regexp
for (var i in allVms) {
if (allVms[i].name.match(regexp)) {
vms.push(allVms[i]);
}
}
VMList = vms;
----------
How can I make this actions ignore the case. I searched for this in Java script, and found that I should add "/i" to the regexp, but I cannot get it to work.
if (allVms[i].name.match(regexp/i)) {
Does anyone know how to get this working?
