• Missing values in the workflow

  I copied the 'Clone the virtual machine, no customization' workflow and created a wrapper for it where I put all the values except the name of the virtual machine that will be created. Then I used the plugin Firefox REST Client to do a POST for the REST of the workflow endpoint and include the value of the name of the computer like this:

  {

  "settings":

  [

  {

  "value": {"chain": {"value": "newVM001"}},

  "type": "string",.

  'name': 'name '.

  }

  ]

  }

  This set works as expected and a new virtual machine is deployed with the name I said. Awesome!

  Now, I take the exact code and drop it into my app, set all required values and test my REST call. The workflow is started, but it fails with the error:

  Cannot create VcVirtualMachineRelocateSpec: TypeError: cannot read a 'parent' of undefined property (name of the dynamic Script Module: getRelocateSpec #8)

  After chasing down the issue for some time, I discovered that all the values I put in my wrapper are reports such as undefined/null. Thus, for example in the getRelocateSpec Action, 'pool' and 'host' are not defined when I send the request in my application, but they have values defined the package when I send the request via the customer REST FF.

  Is this a bug or am I missing something here?

  Just to be sure, I tried with JSON and XML, same case. I see the new VM name being received by the flow of work, but for some reason, all the values defined by the wrapper were wiped out.

  The following XML code:

  " <-xmlns = execution context" http://www.VMware.com/VCO "> "

  < Parameters >

  < description parameter = "VM" type = "string" name = "name" >

  < string > newVM001 < / string >

  < / parameter >

  < / Parameter >

  < / execution context >

  I managed to solve the problem. The account I used to run the workflow has not been correctly permissioned. Once I brought the permissions that everything worked as expected.

• Curl call to start the workflow with the Type of table / Composite

  Hello I'm trying to start a workflow with an array type / Composite.

  I'm using curl to make the call and post fields look like this when you send just a string:

  {

  "settings":

  [

  {

  'value ':

  {

  "chain": {"value": "test"}

  },

  "type": "string",.

  "name':"vm. "

  "scope": "local".

  }

  ]

  }

  How would he format if I had a type of table / Composite?

  The composite type has the format of the Type / size and String / number

• Create the Scheduler in the workflow

  Hi all

  I question even once, I try to create workflows for the provision of the vm... The provision of vm for the test environment for the virtual machine would have expired time... Let's say that my request of the VM user with a week time out time, I want to create clone vm workflow who have the ability to set the VM to suspend the State until the user send the time extend confirmation but if not the virtual machine will automatically be deleted. Is it possible to create the Planner like this?... Thanks for the suggestion

  For a quick/simple implementation, the following could be done:

  create a workflow to "Deploy new VM" which returns a 'VC:VirtualMachine' object - it could be something simple as one of the Clone with the customization of the library packaging workflows.

  Then, create the user workflows, for example "available with Timeout and Decom":

  

  After you have created the virtual machine, use a scriptable for calculation date task to set the retirement date. Pass this date, e-mail of the user and the virtual computer object in the element of regular workflow at the end of the workflow. When you are prompted for the workflow to run when you put the "Annex Workflow" element on the diagram, you will need to have your ready 'Delete VM' workflow.

  The workflow to delete VM should look approximately like this:

  

  When the workflow runs through the scheduled task created in the workflow of the provision, it will be:

  1. E-mail address of the user specified for the workflow of provision of interaction
  2. Sets a timeout for the user to answer
  3. (possibly set a time-out on the user interaction (shown with red dotted lines) Re-send the e-mail message)
  4. Interaction with the user prompt user if they wish to extend
  5. If so, set a new date of decommissioning and schedule the task to run the workflow delete VM on this date
  6. If not, use the workflow Library to 'delete virtual machine '.

  Above is a quick mock-up and dirty of what this solution pourrait look like. When something like that put into production, a lot of things happen and should be considered. These things can vary from environment to environment. Good luck.

  I must emphasize that vCloud Automation Center has integrated similar functionality and includes even a portal facing the user.

• Get the workflow parameter value before the end of the SOAP client workflow execution

  I'm calling webservices SOAP Orchestrator of my request to run a workflow. I want to get a parameter/attribute value before execution of the workflow.

  Brief:

  I have a XYZ workflow that adds two numbers provided by my application. After that my workflow perform some other features that say 5 minutes.

  My application is the result of the addition from the addition is performed. I don't want to wait for these 5 minutes to finish after what my worlkflow is finished and then obtain the result.

  Hello DeepakPN - first of all, if you use vCO 5.x, we strongly recommend to use the api instead of the old api SOAP REST.

  Now, to answer your question:

  When you run a workflow, the returned soap body includes a return workflow id: this is your workflow token id - essentially the Runspace of your workflow. He looks a bit like this:

  
     
        
           
              ff80808141e74b090141f05c5d2c00f7
  

  There are several additional lines less than retail, but I left it as an important component of the info here is this tag . The value that it contained should be used with the operation "getWorkflowTokenForId". By providing this ID and your credentials, the resulting SOAP body will contain details of your performance at the time of your request. So, if you have your amount stored as an attribute at the time that you run the query, you will see the results. For my simple test, here is my operation "getWorkflowTokenForId" for a test flow that I came through SOAP:

  
     
        
           
              ff80808141e74b090141f05c5d2c00f7
              
              1a568e2e-5c15-4b68-9bab-20cb955f0004
              item0
              completed
              completed
              
              20131025120447-0400
              20131025120447-0400
              
  
  
  >
  >
  
  
  
  ]]>
           
        
     
  
  

  Inside the tag, there is a tag that contains each of my entries/attributes. In the code above, 'anyInput' is the input parameter for my workflow and of the "inputTypeName" as an attribute.

  Hope this helps

• ScrollBar on the presentation of the workflow element missing

  I exported a flow of work of one of our servers of 4.1.1_733 build VCO to a new server build 5.1.1_2942. This particular workflow changes the values stored in a configuration item. When you run the workflow running on the 4.1.1 server, it displays a scroll bar on the right side of the presentation-it missing on the 5.1.1 window server, so you cannot access certain values. Anyone know what might be missing? I don't see a property within the WF to set anything for this. Thank you.

  I'll let Burke reproduce this test. As a work around you can add steps / groups in your presentation.

  To export a package, that you go in the package tab, click the icon to create a new package, change the package, add your workflow. Save the package, click the icon to export the package and attach it here.

• How get the workflow of the package belongs to?

  Hello!

  Is there a better way to get the package (or package list) the workflow is part of the script (which is part of the same workflow), rather than iterating through all the packages the server and find specified workflow in them?

  Thank you.

  Some examples of code. I've updated some code me his words so please test. You need succeed the workflowId that you are looking for.

  var allPackages = Server.findAllForType("Package");
  var packagesForWorkflow = new Array();
  
  for each (var pack in allPackages) {
  
      for each (var wf in pack.workflows) {
          if (wf.id == workflowId) packagesForWorkflow.push(pack);
      }
  
  }
  

• How to purge the Workflow queue after upgraded to R12 before the Mailer WF?

  Hello
  
  We are about to upgrade to R12.1.3 of R11.5.9.
  
  As part of the test, I configured and started the workflow Mailer in the new system. As soon as I did, the system began to send only a ton of notifications of recent approvals of requisition apparently waiting in line in the system. WF Mailer has been down since I did the last upgrade test.
  
  We intend to approve applications from before the changeover in the old system, so there should be no e-mail notifications in the waiting. Is there a way to msg_state of these notifications was updated in the table wf_notification_out with a value of "READY", so we can ensure that we will have a clean system, and users will not receive notifications about recent requisition approvals?
  
  Thank you

• Run the Workflow as a specific user

  Hello world

  My English is not great, so I'm sorry for the typos, I'll do.

  I have a little problem with the management of rights in vCenter Orchestrator. I just created a new environment Orchestrator. I created the workflow a bit like for example to stop or restart virtual machines. My problem is that I don't want all users to be able to manage each VMs. To realize that I need configure the Orchestrator to use a single session per user. Then I set the permissions on the server vCenter Server. Which works very well.

  Know that I created another workflow that clone of an existing virtual machine. But as the Orchestrator uses a single session per user, vCO users do not have sufficient rights to clone a virtual machine. This is because I would like to run the cloning-workflow to run as another user. I already discovered "credentials of change" - Action, but know the users do not have sufficient rights to change credentials. I won't give them administrator rights, at least until they are able to change the workflow by using the Orchestrator Client.

  So I tried to restrict access using Client Orchestrator. But this also seems to be impossible without denying web access. Now I'm stuck. Is there any solution for this?

  Thank you very much.

  OK, I just did the test on my side so I understand better what is happening.

  It seems that the admin should be just defined the workflow approval and each parent to the root of the change. It's admin roles give the right to create / modify / delete.

  I think it's the same situation that you are experiencing.

  A work around would be to use the firewall block the vCO for different hosts data port that the server of vCO and maybe your admin workstation.

  Maybe another would be to program an original workflow workflow (to test, it can work as system).

• How to move the workflow of an orchestrator server to another

  I have Setup initially orchestrator on a trial basis spread and the configuration of the workflow, now, I drove outside the actual configuration and would like to move the workflow that I did in the original test on my current Server Setup. Any ideas?

  Now you can see one of my favorite parts of the Orchestrator.

  • On your dev server, open the Client Orchestrator

  • Click on packages

  • Create a new Package

  • Change the package

  • Click the 'Workflows' tab in the right

  • Add all the workflow that you created

  • • All flows of dependent work, actions, etc. will be added automatically

  • Click on each of the other tabs in the right and did not forget to add additional resources that you created

  • Save your package and close

  Now, you have two choices:

  1. Export the package, and then import it on the production server

  2. Right-click on the package and select "synchronize".

     • When you are prompted, enter the IP address of the server production or FQDN, username and password

  In both cases above, you will be provided with a summary screen that shows the items that will be added to the production server (represented by a green arrow).

  Enjoy!

• HOW URL WSDL Web Service: Web Service call in the workflow

  have a 1 step, Web service workflow: call the Web Service.  I wish I could pass a string parameter to the url of the endpoint for the parameter of the URL of the WSDL in the Web service settings dialog box as oppose to the transmission of the actual url (http://machine/some_service.svc?wsdl).

  The reason is that we are moving the workflow between environments DEV, TEST, etc., we do not want to reopen the workflow in each env and update the DEV, TEST endpoint.

  I tried the following without success

  1. create a parameter of type String devURL

  2 by default, set the value on http://machine/some_service.svc?wsdl

  3 Goto service web appeal stage and set the URL of the WSDL to the /process_data/@devURL

  I get the error:

  java.io.FileNotFoundException: \process_data\@devURL

  I don't think that the URL of the WSDL parameter can even accept a parameter as the username + password settings.

  Is this possible?  OR if not, how can this be achieved?

  Under the Service Web Options change 'The Option' use 'variable' instead of 'literal '. Then click the Green + and it will create a variable of type WebServiceSettingBean.

  You can use a setValue before the stage of web service to set this variable.

• purge of the workflow

  Hi all
  
  EBS r120.0.5
  
  Objective: after a clone or on demand (on dev/test) to the workflow queues empty to ensure that nothing is sent during activation of work (install us override and crush all counting apps with a generic email address, but for some tests of dev, sometimes you have to remove the substitution).
  
  I usually have to run the "obsolete Purge data Workflow Runtime", temporary permanent and for and plan the "Workflow queue control cleaning" but I don't think that simply emptying queues, is it?
  
  Can I track note Speeding Up and purge Workflow [132254.1 ID] and run ' run wf_purge.total; execute wf_purge.totalperm; run wf_purge.notifications;'? But I think this will only affect the process no data? Pending data will always be there and will not serve?
  
  Thank you

• Need to activate the workflow on check-in

  Hello
  
  I made a custom control in the page on my web site. Now, I want that whenever the user checks the document in a workflow, but I have no idea on how to apply it.
  
  Appreciate any kind of help as soon as POSSIBLE.
  
  Thank you
  Abhijit

  You must use a workflow of criteria and not a basic workflow.

  Create a new workflow of criteria in the workflow Admin Applet
  Choose the criteria - for the purpose of the test to choose a security group, check the definition of criteria, and then specify the criteria.

  For example, you can set the Group of public safety criteria and content type is 'Document '.

  Add steps / users to your workflow
  Then you must enable the workflow.

  Whenever you are looking for now in a 'Document' in the Group of public safety, he will enter this workflow
