get the vCloud:VM object for a VM in a vApp deployed from a vApp template
Hi,
I have a workflow that runs the Instantiate a vApp template workflow to deploy a vApp to an Org, which is successful. The workflow then needs to get the name of the VM that is in the vApp. I tried using the getVappVms action and this did not return any VMs, and i have tried using the query service to return the VMs in a vApp a nd this too returns no VMs. I checked the Instantiate a vApp template and at the end it does a vApp.updateInternalState() and i have also added an updateInternalState on the vApp before trying to get the list of VMs.
vCD is 8.10 and vRO is 7.01
What am I doing wrong? Is i look in the inventory, the vApp is there and has a VM in it. I did notice that it took a little time to display the vApp details, so i am assumng that they were not cached by the vRO server. Is that not what the updateInternalState should do?
Thanks
Ian...

Viewing System.debug when working with a single Workflow?
I tend to be very heavy handed when it comes to logging for debugging purposes. However, after a disk out-of-space situation, to avoid flooding the logs when NOT debugging/troubleshooting, I am trying to use System.debug more often. My intuitive thought was that this would only be displayed either when the entire vRO server is in Debug mode, or when working on a workflow and one hits the 'Debug' button. But that's not what I'm seeing. It still only seems to display System.log level events or higher. It appears that one either enables debug across the entire vRO server, or not at all.
Is there some setting I have overlooked that keeps even the 'Debug' button from displaying debug messages? Is this possible?
Thank you

Server.searchLdapUsers returns empty
We are using VRA 7.3 and writing some workflows. We are using 'User interaction' to halt the workflow till the user logs in the VRA portal and accepts.
In one of the environment, the function Server.searchLdapUsers(name, 0) returns valid values and the user is able to see the request in Manual Action.
But in another environment, the function is returning empty.
Question is, under what conditions/scenarios will the Server.searchLdapUsers function return empty. These are indeed valid values. The same name we get
values for function Server.findAllForType('AD:User', name); But we can't use the result as the 'User interaction' expects Array/LdapUser and we can't find a
way to convert the output of AD.User to LdapUser.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Workflow picker in vRO client is sometimes off screen
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

Import Package with Actions - should their IDs change?
vRO 6.0.4
Say I create a vRO package containing actions and I know what the ID of each action is. When I import that package into a new vRO system, what is the expected behaviour of the IDs of those actions? In my testing it would appear that the actions get new IDs. Workflows of course maintain their existing IDs.
Can anyone confirm the expected behaviour?
It's not causing a problem, I am just curious

Workflow to shut down certain VMs on a host
Brand new to Orchestrator here, so be gentle please.....
I'm trying to build a workflow to put an ESX host in MM so that we can schedule this to be done. The main problem i'm having is due to 3 host agent VMs that run on all my hosts. 1 of them needs to be shut down first, followed by the other 2. These cannot be migrated and will cause the MM command to error out if they are still powered on at that time.
I tried playing around with how to do this, but I'm having trouble isolating each VM in order to shut it down. The naming schemes are not the greatest, but are shown below
CVM-%hostname%
GuestSec (1) - the number is different on every host
AgentVM (1) - same as above for number
I can make the first one work due to it just being the hostname (which i know), but I can't find a good way to locate the other two for shut down. Would this be easier to build a PS host and use powerCLI? I have some experience with that and know it wouldn't be too bad to do, but thought I would ask before I make another run at a PS Host (i failed setup the first time, but w/e).
I would think there would be an easy way to list all the VMs on a host and then search through it since I know the names of what i need. Any help would be appreciated!

Dynamic Input for VM Disk to Datastore
I am trying to develop a workflow I can use to migrate a VM. The issue I run into is how I handle the disk drives. The number of drives I have on any VM is dynamic but I need to be able to present the drives on a particular vm and specify a datastore each drive will be migrated to when I run the workflow. I know how to build the migration piece. I just don't know how to present the drives in a manner that is completely dynamic and give me the ability to link the drive with a new datastore. Any ideas?

Kick-off powershell script that is present on a vm
Is there a way to kick off a powershell script that is present on a vm? I want the powershell script to run whether somebody is logged on or not. I understand I would have to provide credentials though. I would rather now have to use an intermediate pshost to run scripts against another server.

Clone Windows with Single NIC, Invalid Subnet Mask with IPv6
Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a new vm based on the workflow Clone Windows with Single Nic. All works good with IPv4, but when I try to use IPv6 at the new vm I'm getting the error at vCenter that the subnet mask is invalid. Is there something that I need to set to use IPv6? What is the correct format to set the subnet?
thanks!

Xaas BP request template fails via postman API
We have imported a Xaas BP into vRA and its package into vRO. It is just a customized form with T-shirt size VM provisioning workflow. When we submit the catalog item from vRA portal it works seamlessly but when we get the https://vRAHOSTNAME/catalog-service/api/consumer/entitledCatalogItems/759788c4-bcfa-43d8-808b-3fa122fcbbf4/requests/templatetemplate using postman API it fails with below error
When I checked the vRA log the reason for failure is as below , we have manually created the Xaas BP instead of importing into vRA but still the same error appears in vRA logs. I am unsure what is service type ID in our Xaas BP. Please advice.

How do you list all the properties of an object in VMware Orchestrator? For example I have a test workflow that contains a scriptable task. I have a vm attribute I have assigned. I want to list all the properties of that vm object in the System.log. I also will need to do the same thing for a disk attached to a vm. Thanks

Dynamic fields in presentation view
Hi,
I am currently developing a workflow to build a VM from a template. One of the selections that I want to present to users is the choice to add additional hard disks. Based on the number of additional hard disks that are chosen I then need to be able to give the user the choice of datastore and size for each one. I only want the datastore/size choice to show up for the number of additional disks that are selected, but I can't figure out how to do it. I think I need something similar to the show parameter input property, but need something that is numerically based as opposed to Boolean.
I should also add I am very new to vRO and JavaScript so try and be patient with me!
Thanks,
Chris.
