XML Node output from action
I'm building a lot of workflows invoking REST operations against NSX and other API's that uses XML for the request body, and I wanted to programmatically build the XML from an XMLManager document then convert to string to invoke against the API. The problem I'm running into is that if I run the code to build the object via a function in a scriptable task, it works fine... but if I take the same code and turn it into an action (with a return type set to ANY), the resulting variable in my scripting task is always set to null.. which is frustrating. What am I doing wrong?!
Inputs would be document (the XML document, type is set to ANY), parent (the root node for the new XML node, also set to type of ANY)... nodeName is a string input, as is nodeText.
Code looks like this:
var newNode = document.createElement(nodeName);
parent.appendChild(newNode);
if (nodeText!= null){
var newTxt = doc.createTextNode(nodeText);
newNode.appendChild(newTxt);
}
return newNode;
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

vAPI list all tagged objects doesn't seem to work. Anyone accomplished this via the vAPI plugin successfully?
I'm trying to make sense of the vAPI plugin and also reading through the online documentation and I haven't seen any examples of listing tagged objects. If I access the rest api directly and look at the resource definitions for com/vmware/vapi/rest/navigation/resource/id:com.vmware.cis.tagging.Tag I see this which sounds like what I need:
{
"name": "list_attached_objects",
"documentation": "Fetches the {@term list} of attached objects for the given tag. To invoke this {@term operation}, you need the read privilege on the input tag. Only those objects for which you have read privileges will be returned.",
"service": "com.vmware.cis.tagging.tag_association",
"links": [
{
"method": "POST",
"href": "https://server.example.com/rest/com/vmware/cis/tagging/tag-association/id:{tag_id}?~action=list-attached-objects"
}
],
"metadata": {
"method": "GET",
"href": "https://server.example.com/rest/com/vmware/vapi/metadata/metamodel/service/operation/id:com.vmware.cis.tagging.tag_association/id:list_attached_objects"
}
}
When I attempt to run this I get an error from the api as follows:
{
"name": "com.vmware.vapi.rest.httpNotFound",
"localizableMessages": [
{
"defaultMessage": "Not found.",
"id": "com.vmware.vapi.rest.httpNotFound"
}
],
"majorErrorCode": 404
}
Does anyone here know this api well enough to tell me if I am making the correct call and if so can you verify that it is working? eternallyfrustratedbyvmware how's that for a tag? hopeijustneededtortfm

problem with timezone during sysprep
I deployed a remote vcenter (6.5) and vro (7.2) and when I create vms there, the timezone within the vms are not set correctly. (The VCSA/vRO appliances are independent and not linked to anything else)
For the sake of argument, lets say we're dealing with new york and paris timezone.
I was checking the management interface of the appliances (the stuff on port 5480). The VCSA is set to UTC and the vRO appliance was set to new york timezone. I have fixed the vRO appliance to be the paris timezone.
Within the OS the timezone is shown as new york instead of paris even though I'm setting timezone=105.0 as part of my customization. Anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong? (The time within the OS is also wrong but it's the same value as the VCSA so i'm guessing i need to change the timezone on the VCSA too? )
Thanks

Modify user interaction email
I am using the "user interaction" object in vRO. I'd like to customize the email that is sent to the user by the user interaction to include attributes of the workflow. Is that possible?
If not, is there an alternative way to create a user interaction where I can control the email content?
Thanks.

How to pull the details of SCSi Controller from guest via vro
We have tried the possibilities to get the details by using below scripts..
//To print Disks Name
var vmDisks=myvm.guest.disk;
for (var i=0 in vmDisks)
{
var name=myvm.guest.disk[i].diskPath;
var guestdisk = new VcVirtualDisk();
var guestdisks =myvm.guest.disk[i];
System.log(guestdisk.guestdisks[i].ControllerKey);
System.log(name +": capacity : "+ myvm.guest.disk[i].capacity/1024 /1024 /1024 + " GB and FreeSpace: " + myvm.guest.disk[i].freeSpace/1024 /1024 /1024 + "GB");
}
We are not able to find the right scripting object to pull the SCSi controller details from the guest OS (windows).
Note :- from Vmlevel we are able to pull the scsi details, but we would like to pull from guest os, if i select the vm it should give E drive is connected to hardisk 1 and its SCSI details and present in this datastore.

How to get detailed list in presentation in VRO 7.2
I am trying to figure out how I can get the same detailed information when I get a list of vm's or datastores that was available in VCO 5.5. When I display elements in a list I used to get more than just the objects name in 5.5. We have now moved to VRO 7.2 and now when I show elements as a list it only shows the name. Is there a way to change this?

get vCenter VM from vCAC VM
I couldn't find an action for this and it doesn't seem to be a property of the vCAC vm. It sure would be nice if it were. I snagged this code from one of the workflows in the vCAC plugin that does what I would like so I figured I would repost here. I also attached an action. Takes a vCAC:VirtualMachine input and returns a VC:VirtualMachine out.
var sdkConnections = VcPlugin.allSdkConnections;
System.log(sdkConnections.length + " sdk Connections found...");
for each (var sdkConnection in sdkConnections) {
try {
vCenterVm = sdkConnection.searchIndex.findByUuid(null, vCACVm.vmUniqueID, true, false);
} catch(e) {System.log("Error for SDK connection " + sdkConnection.name + " : " + e);}
if (vCenterVm != null) {
System.log("Resolved vCenter VM " + vCenterVm.name);
return vCenterVm;
break;
}

I want to install plugin in vRO via Postman. Since in vRO 7.3 Basic Auth is disabled, I'm looking for alternatives to install plugins. I know we can use Swagger UI to install plugin. Is there any other way to do it.
I had read that we can do it via vRO CLI. How do install using CLI? I have not been able to find any documentation for this? Following is the right command for this right?

in way that its members will be able to execute and view all workflows in the VRO and also will be able to see executions of other users, but won't be given with administrative rights And won't be able to edit workflows.

Setting default value for input variable
Hi,
I'm looking for a possibility to set a default value for an input variable with type VC:VMFolder.
I created a workflow for creating templates of selected VMs in folders or Resourcepools. The user can either select a single vm or folder or resourcepool and if only a single vm is selected, he can set the folder in which the template will be stored.
The problem when selecting a destiantionfolder for the template is that you must go through the whole environment from the vcenter to the VM folder.
So my question is if there is any way to set a default starting point for the folder field?
Here is my presentation view, instead of the second "Not set" should be set the vm folder when the template is started.
Thanks and Regards
Alu
