Orchestrator and plugin development

I need orchestrator to talk to a number of third-party systems for which no plugin has been developed yet.  It's all part of a single process of provisioning of Vm.  Should I create a plugin for each system for which no plugin exists, or should I create a plugin "Vm provisioning" giant who can talk to multiple systems?

It depends; both options have advantages and disadvantages.

I would go for a plugin by approach because it is more flexible (for example. If a new system appears in the future, you will only need to write a plug-in for it and add it to the photo instead of updating the giant's fits-them-all plug-ins).

You can also consider using the existing plug-in dynamic Types. Initially, you could make a rapid prototyping with him and later when you become more familiar/feel more comfortable with a 3rd party data API system, to implement a 'good' plugin for it.

  • web server and plugin development

    Hello

    I'm just getting started with VI SDK and I want to create a plugin for VIclient to get some experience. My goal is to create a new tab which would give me a screen session putty inside the VIclient.

    This plugin may have already been done, but I want to do it myself to learn.

    There is one for starts playback on the site and it is said that first of all you need a Web server to host conf files. I'm surprised because I thought that some plugins do not have one. For example, I use the SVmotion plugin and I don't see where he should find files on Web server, can someone clarifiy it for me?

    Thank you

    SVMotion plugin still use another plugin technology does not support that has been boned by the community. Using this plugin doesn't require a web server.

    The official plugin mechanism requires a web server that can serve content specified by the URL in your confiuration file. The web server could be an external one like google map, or your own web server that hosts your web application that connects to your virtualcenter server.

  • How to check the type of datamodel in case of response data from application of DataByConstraint in the plugin development web vsphere client

    Hello, I am new in plugin development web vsphere client.

    I need to send multiple DataByConstraintRequest (say A and B data model class) within a class of script simple action. But to handle events of response data, we use

    [ResponseHandler (name = "{com.vmware.data.query.events.DataByConstraintRequest.RESPONSE_ID}")]

    public void onVmListRetrieved (request: DataByConstraintRequest,)

    result: collection ArrayCollection): void {}

    The result is an ArrayCollection of MyVmData of the objects collection

    }

    Here how should I come to know this result variable is either A or class B data model. (including the result can be a collection of empty array)

    In case of DataByModel, we have events in response to the separate data for the data model class, but I couldn't find the same for DataByConstraint.

    You can define a unique ID_Demande for each DataByConstraintRequest and check in the response Manager.  'requestId' is a field of the class of basic DataRequest.

  • Orchestrator and multi-tenant

    I use Orchestrator in a multi-tenancy environment.  What I try to do is:

    Set up a master orchestrator instance where I can centralize workflow execution.

    Implemented the slave instances in environments different tenant I can call with the plugin multiple nodes.

    The problem is that the environments are separate and accessible only via a vpn tunnel.

    How should I configure master orchestrator and the slave to connect via vpn?

    I must:

    1. use a "plugin of VPN connection' if there is one, to establish a connection via vpn?
    2. use the plug-in of HTTP-rest and give the two VCOs, one IP address public and some time to public web interface, if it can be done safely, perhaps to paste the slave vCO in the DMZ?

    3 another way?

    Thanks for the input!

    If you have an always on the VPN connection to the remote/slave instances then just opening the firewall ports to allow the master to connect to the instance of remote/slave.

    Ports are listed on page 38 & 39:

    Documentation of the plugin of several nodes:

    http://pubs.VMware.com/Orchestrator-plugins/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/using-multi-node-plugin-10-Guide.PDF

    From what I can tell, you would need the following ports open between the master (source) and remote/slave (destination):

    • TCP - 8230 - the main port to communicate with the server Orchestrator (JNDI port).
    • Trust TCP - 8250 - for SSL (multi-noeuds plugin documentation - "Activate Orchestrator for the remote execution Workflow")
  • 10 questions about Plugin development

    1 can. "OS Fetchlets of order" be any type of order, like perl, shell...? I think Perl is the only command type to use.

    2. in QueryDescriptor, there is a property NAME = "errStartsWith". If it has
    < property NAME = 'errStartsWith' SCOPE = 'GLOBAL' > em_error = < / property >
    And the data returned is "em_error =...". ", and then where the data will be stored?

    3. when I go over "All measures" with the 'Instance of database', which is the default value for the Type of target with the OEM, if I click on 'Alert Log Error Status' metric, it returns the following information:
    You have attempted to access the data in real time for measurement of the alert log error state. This action is not supported. Get the metric data in real-time requires information on the collection that is not currently available from the Enterprise Manager repository. This does not affect the collection of data and you can continue to access historical data for this measure.
    I wonder if there is a way to make the PLUGIN-defined measures has this restriction. Otherwise each metric could get data in real time by clicking on it, which is dangerous for some settings.

    4. when there are reports and graphics developed with the PLUGIN, how to add a button "Set the time", as the "information editor report definitions" button the page?

    5. What is the difference between politics and the metric? It seems that they have the same features.

    6. how to upgrade Plugin without losing the data in the history?

    8. how to read the 'plug-in Performance management report' after executing "perf mpcli"?

    9. in validating XML, what is the difference between "emctl ilint" order and "lint mpcli?

    10. how to deploy Plugin for many agents in a batch job? As I have hundreds of agent, if the only way to deploy the Plugin to an agent is to do it one by one with OEM interface, it will cost you a lot of time.

    Any help will be appreciated!


    Thank you

    2. you can watch in the METRIC_ERROR_HISTORY $ MGMT or MGMT$ METRIC_ERROR_CURRENT

    3. I will continue to look into it to see if I can figure.

    5. a metric is collected by the agent to collect information on your target. A policy is applied on the side of the WHO/repository from metrics data to see if the target instance is located in the standards defined by the policy.

    8. you do not want to make a reference without your installed target race, so that you can see the incremental load puts your target type when you do a performance works with your target type installed. You'll want to watch how your target affects the agent at the end of the report parameters for interpreting the incremental load to the host. And you can use the Oracle DB as a basis to review the number of lines and the amount of data your target returns. The Oracle DB collects a bit of data and the type of your target should not exceed or even get too close to the amount of data it returns. Finally, you will want to examine your collection times. Nothing collect faster than every 5 minutes. The configuration data must be taken rarely (once a day) because it is relatively static. Data of performance will obviously be collected much more frequently, but collection calendar will determine how many lines is collected and the amount of data is collected, so you must balance against the return of a reasonable amount of data and prioritize the measures you want to collect more often (and collection of other measures less often).

    9. I say that you shouldn't bother using emctl ilint since it is not strict enough in its validation. Download the latest PDK. Use the lint tool here. If you do, you have no problems during the deployment of your plug-in from the deployment and the KDP lint tool will use the same scan code. If you run the tool with KDP lint prior to deployment, you will get an error in deployment... which is harder to track down than if you used the KDP lint tool to validate the XML.

    10. Unfortunately, verbs emcli to deal with the scope of the MP have not been released...

    Hi Danesh,

    You should take a look at this article for an explanation. Plugins and extensions are essentially types of Add-ons as well as of the characters and themes.

  • silent uninstall ODAC 12 c module 4 and Oracle development tools

    Hi all

    I need to uninstall a previously installed ODAC 12 c module 4 and Oracle Developer Tools silently. Oui\bin\setup.exe will be fine uninstall, but I want to uninstall it from script.

    There is no button to save a responsefile at the end of the dialog box.

    oui\bin\setup.exe-Enregistrer FichierDestination - odacr4 - deinst.rsp

    Does not complain, but does not record a response file.

    Installation notes describe uninstall them, but not without supervision/silencer.

    Any advice?

    Best regards

    Niels Jespersen

    Here's what I used to silently uninstall ODT with ODAC. It does not require a response file, but requires that you specify the Oracle home

    "{' C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\client_1\oui\bin\setup.exe-silent - waitforcompletion - nowait - uninstall" DEINSTALL_LIST = {"oracle.odac.client","12.1.0.2.0"} "' REMOVE_HOMES={"C:\oracle\product\12.1.0\client_1 "}"

    A log file is generated in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Oracle\Inventory\logs

    If Orchestrator is currently your orchestration and integration platform, and you want to implement vCD, how are Orchestrator and vCD?  Is orchestrator tool to use for integration, if you use vCD for virtual machines from a portal providing web front end?

    Technically, you can integrate with vCD API using REST, SDK, Orchestrator and PowerCLI.

    Using Lr test, I managed to copy photos in the Catalogue and in development. Now, I want to use the photo developed/published as master and delete the original. So using the "modified" as the new source version. What is the process to do this?

    This is to manually remove the master files. But are you sure you want to do this? Especially if these files are raw files? If you do, you throw a lot of precious image data. Remember that the main files are completely intact and in their original state at any time. The catalog stores all the changes that you make. But if you really want to delete your master files, you need just to delete them individually or as a group.

  • ActiveX and PlugIn Flashplayer installed both - ActiveX only updates automatically

    I'm responsible for a group of Windows-based computers, which some in a non-profit where we have both IE and Firefox (like Chrome) installed. Accordingly, we have the ActiveX and plugin versions of Flash Player installed.  It seems that the automatic updates of the Flash Player only the ActiveX version and not the version of the PlugIn. This has happened for a long time, even on Windows 7. Y at - it a fix for this? Or at the very least, is it possible to reverse the order so that the Flashplayer PlugIn is updated rather than the ActiveX version?

    Edit: To be clear, most of the computers is probably on "Notify me to install new updates", but only the new version of ActiveX installed.  Even if the computer is configured to allow Adobe install updates only the new version of ActiveX installed.

    Hi paradoox,

    For the updates in the background (option 'Allow Adobe install updates (recommended)'), both players are updated, however, the Activex version is first updated and then an hour later the Plugin is updated.

    For Notification updates (option ' Notify me to install updates "), Flash Player checks an update when the Flash content is read.  If an update is available, it creates a registry entry which then launches the Update Notification window when the system is restarted or the user logs on/off voltage.  In this scenario, regardless of the version of Flash Player (Activex or Plugin) was used when checking is one that creates the registry entry and is the one that is being updated.  I know that's not ideal, but it is legacy features and has been so for a long time.  Unless you have changed the update check interval, the default value is 7 days.

    Since you indicate that the Plugin is not updated via background updates, I would examine the FlashInstall.log file to infected computer.  Unfortunately, background updates do not write to the log file unless logging is turned on (which probably you haven't configured), but I can still be able to glean information from the current log on the system file.  Please provide a machine affected log file using the instructions here, the specified item is not found...

    To enable detailed logging background update, add the following to the mms.cfg file: SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging = 1.   History updates for a updated once a day, so if you enable it today, it must contain related information in a day or two, depending when the background update task is actually configured to run on impact on machines.
