This is an amazing group. My questions have been answered for the most part and have been very helpful. I have just started using Orchestrator since Dec. Knowledge I have gotten has all been trial and error and this group. I have been able to figure most things out, more importantly I have been able to figure out HOW and WHY the solutions I have gotten from here work. One area I am having trouble with is with Presentation. Maybe because I have only used Presentation limited basis. What I have used is creating drop down boxes or check boxes a few times. Those have been using the Predefined list of elements, calling an action and there I am lost. Not sure what the flow is. I see what I was told to do - I am just not grasping the HOW or WHY it works. I see the components of the action and the Presentation calling the action, but it is just not clear.
An example that I am working with is I have an input parameter called ISO (it is a string). I know that I need to configure the Presentation components. Just not sure how (more importantly the why). The goal is that I want a dropdown list of ISO filenames. Those files will be contained in an array. That array is created by compiling a list of filenames on [DatastoreName]ISOFILES\
I think I am close, but the structure of the flow in how Predefined List of Elements works. I have created one (with this groups help) and it works great. I am just not sure why it works. The one I created in the past allows me to select multiple VMs. The predefined list of element for Select Virtual Machines (my Input parameter) the value is GetAction("com.test.vmudate","getDynamicVMS").call(#VMs)
My limited knowledge states that it is calling action getDynamicVMS from the com.test.vmupdate module. As far as what call(#VMs) is, I have no idea. Again, thanks so much for the help.
