Add annotations when you create a linked clone

Hi all

I am currently struggling with a script that should be able to add an annotation to a clone linked after its creation. To create a linked clone, I use the vmlinkedclone.pl script (source here: http://pastie.org/5114877 ), with a bit of modification to my needs feet. On the other hand, I have a script that writes an annotation on a specified, virtual computer writedescription.pl (source here: http://pastie.org/5114881)

Now the problem is that my script that write annotations on a specified, virtual computer takes the name of the virtual machine as a parameter, I want to avoid. So, what I want to do is to "mix" my vmlinkedclone script and my writedescription script, so I can dynamically add an annotation after creating a clone (the annotation is a parameter in the script).

However, as you can see on my writedescription script, I'm working on a view of a virtual machine, while on my vmlinkedclone script, I have no opinion on the clone, I have yet nothing about it, read the 250 on the vmlinkedclone pastie line. So my question is fairly simple: how could I get a view of my newly created clone, so I can easily fit my other script to add an annotation to the clone via the vm_id parameter?

Thank you very much

It actually returns the new ManagedObjectReference of VM, you must call get_view() on it to get the actual VM and its properties.

Take a look at the quick example I have attached.  It shows how to retrieve and convert the result of ManagedObjectReference with CloneVM_Task() and CloneVM() in a VirtualMachine entity.

$ perl CloneVMExample.pl--username=administrator@vlab--server = 172.16.254.50 - password = VMware1! -vmname = SourceVM - dcname = DC01
New machine virtual 'CloneVM () - Test' cloned successfully at CloneVM().
CloneVM_Task() completed successfully.
New machine virtual 'CloneVM_Task () - Test' cloned successfully at CloneVM_Task().

  • More presentation then a model when you create a link

    Hi all

    Unfortunately, I got stuck on a problem with WCS and need your help.

    For some definition of the page, I created several different rendering models model type of set-up.

    Models work well when used in the contributor user interface. Users can choose the model they want and then see the page rendered accordingly.

    Now, my problem is I want to create a link to one of these page somewhere else. To create the link, I would normally use "render: gettemplateurl ' or ' render: getpageurl.

    With both, I need to provide the model to use in some way, either with tNom or pagename parameter.

    But, how do you know what model is the one that a user selected a given page? Is there an attribute that contains the model selected for active / a page?

    This should be a fairly common case, but I wasn't able to find documentation or examples on this?

    I thank very you much for your help in advance.

    See you soon

    Hendrik

    Hello

    You have the id of the page, so you can use the tag to retrieve the model.

    For example:

    Now you have the active page template in the pageTemplate variable.

  • How to add annotations when you view a PDF in a web browser?

    I have a link to a pdf file that opens in a web browser that I'm unable to annotate. I downloaded the latest version of Adobe (as of April 25, 2014) and I use a Mac and Safari. Specifically, there is no "comments and markup" option tab tools and annotation options are eliminated under the tab comment below I have included screen shots. Your help is greatly appreciated!

    s.jpgl.jpg

    You do not use the application. You use a browser add-on that takes advantage of some of the features of the application, but not all.

    In order to use full functionality of the application defines simply save the PDF (s) on the HARD disk of the local computer and then opens with Acrobat (any version provides the tools to comment & Markup) OR Adobe Reader XI (the first version of reader to provide the tools to comment & markup same found in Acrobat).

  • When I create a link in WordPress it will not open the link in a new window

    Hello
    I've been creating websites in WordPress for a few years and still today, I find that when I create a link to open it in a new window using Firefox as browser the link just opens again the same page

    This is the code: -.
    "< a title ="learn more"href ="http://socialmediatrainingjob.info/mainsq"target ="_blank"> here < /a > to find out"

    "< a title ="more"href ="http://socialmediatrainingjob.info/mainsq"> fred."

    The 'fred' link will go on the site that you want, but "find it out here" is going nowhere.

    These links behave as they shoul when I use Internet Explorer and Chrome

    Any ideas how to fix this for Firefox, my version is 17.0.1

  • Error trying to create multiple linked clones

    Hi all

    I have another question from script to this that attempts to create multiple linked clones.  I get the error message "Wait task: the object has no associated provider.» (see below under the results section).  Just need to know why this happens, but I'm new to PowerCLI.

    SCRIPT;

    $vm = get - VM 'test ' | Get-View

    $clonePrefix = "testclone".

    $numClones = 2

    $concurrentClones = 2

    $cloneFolder = $vm.parent

    $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec

    $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $vm. Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot

    $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

    $cloneSpec.Location.DiskMoveType = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions]: createNewChildDiskBacking

    #To of power on each clone immediately after its creation:

    #$cloneSpec.powerOn = $true

    $i = 1

    While ($i - the $numClones) {}

    $taskViewArray = @)

    foreach ($j in 1.. $concurrentClones) {}

    $taskViewArray += $vm. CloneVM_Task ($clonePrefix, $cloneFolder, $cloneSpec + $i)

    $i ++

    }

    $taskArray = $taskViewArray | Get-VIObjectByVIView

    Wait-job $taskArray

    RESULT;

    You try to mix two different things here.

    The CloneVM_Task call you is a method of the API in the SDK and it returns an SDK task object.

    This task SDK object is not the same object as that returned by the RunAsync switch on several PowerCLI cmdlets.

    The Wait-job cmdlet waits an object returned by the RunAsync switch.

    You can use the task the UpdateProgress method on the object of the SDK in a loop.

    And wait for the news. Condition of the property on the Task SDK object turns into success or error.

  • Why the Amazon icon will not appear when you create a shortcut

    When I create a shortcut to a Web site; instead of the web logo, I get the blue standard & green "globe".

    How can I correct this (windows 7)?

    Thank you

    Clyde

    Hello

    You are welcome.

    Shortcuts to sites will initially their own custom icon when you create a shortcut. This icon is called a "favicon.ico" and is stored in the temporary Internet files (TIF) cache, which is where all website files, are stored when you visit them.

    When the user performs a maintenance and removes the TIF cache, all these custom icons are removed with everything else. This will cause the icon of Internet Explorer by default to display on these shortcuts. This also occurs when the maximum allowed disk space has been exceeded and that the files are deleted automatically to maintain the use of disk space.

  • [JDev 12.1.3] The difference between the Type of Document "Facelets" and "JSP XML" when you create a new page?

    Hallo,

    that is the difference between choosing as a Type of Document "Facelets" and choosing "JSP XML" when you create a new page?

    Which is the best choiche and why? And is it possible to convert a page from one type to another?

    Thank you

    Federico

    Hi Federico

    JSPX both Faceletes are equal to the feature and after Jdev Release11gR2, both are supported in the ADF

    Facelets is deemed be better performance because it is more tight integrated with life cycle JSf and does not need to be compiled before running

    The future speaks Facelets (specification of JSF) and if start you a new project in development with JDeveloper 11 g R2 then we recommend you use Facelets for this reason

    See this good discussion -Diff b\w JSF and JSPX

    Hi kevin7frg,

    You can go to "file > create > scanner > configure presets PDF»

    The dialog box that appears, you can choose 8.5 X 11 as the default width and height of PDF pages to scan.

  • How do you get the layers work correctly when you create a document merged into the InDesign data merge feature?

    Hey everybody,

    I working on a card game using data with a .csv file merge and spin in unusual behavior when you create a merged document when my master document had layers.  Imagine I had a layer of structure that looks like this:

    Layer has
    -< DataMergeFrameA >

    -Cooked in the static element
    Layer B

    -Cooked in the static element B
    -< DataMergeFrameB >

    -< DataMergeFrameC >

    Layer C
    -Cooked in the static element C

    -< DataMergeFrameD >

    Preview, this hierarchy is respected and the image is superb.

    When I create my merged document that each individual card includes this editable structure:

    Layer has
    -< DataMergeFrameA >

    Layer B

    -< DataMergeFrameB >

    -< DataMergeFrameC >

    Layer C

    -< DataMergeFrameD >

    And the order in which the elements are drawn resembles what happened past:

    -< DataMergeFrameA >

    -< DataMergeFrameB >

    -< DataMergeFrameC >

    -< DataMergeFrameD >

    -Cooked in the static element

    -Cooked in the static element B

    -Cooked in the static element C

    I would * really * like solving this problem without going through a column of data fusion with just the same picture in each area or something stupid like that, especially because some of my other static elements are generic text boxes. Is it possible to apply the stacking order in a merged document?

    I have attached a screenshot of the preview and the merged document.
    * WARNING: The main art is a temporary placeholder *.

    The one on the left is how it looks in preview. The second is the merged document. The major problems are that a) static grass image should appear on the art main and b) main image overlays areas of main text on the left. How can-
