Horizon vCenter Orchestrator Plug-In Workflow Library
The Horizon vCO plug-in workflow library contains workflows that you can use to run automated
processes to manage View pods, including objects such as remote desktops and applications, pools,
entitlements, and View server configuration.
The folders and workflows provided by the Horizon vCO plug-in are all created in the Horizon folder and
are organized into various subfolders according to purpose and functionality. You can modify this folder
structure without impacting the execution of the workflows.
CAUTION Some of the folders contain workflows that other workflows depend on. Do not modify these
workflows.
Table 3‑1. Folders Included with the Horizon vCO Plug-In
Folder Name Description
Horizon Root folder for the Horizon vCO plug-in.
CoreModules/API Access API layer for the workflows.
IMPORTANT Do not modify the contents of this folder.
CoreModules/Business Logic Business logic for workflow interactions between the execution layers and the
API Access layer.
IMPORTANT Do not modify the contents of this folder.
Configuration Workflows for setting up and administering other workflows. Configuration
workflows should be executed only by administrators, from within the vCenter
Orchestrator client.
Configuration /Workflow Delegation Workflows an administrator can use to test whether a particular delegated
administrator can successfully run the workflow. Some workflows might run in
vSphere Web Client but not display a permissions error if the delegated
administrator does not have the correct permissions.
Workflows/Example Workflows that you can use as a basis to create customized workflows.
NOTE Only the primary administrator will be able to run the Add Pool Policy in
Batch workflow if you set the workflow permissions as recommended in this
document.
Workflows/vCAC60 Workflows an administrator uses to create catalog items from within vCloud
Automation Center. Some of the workflows in this folder are self-service
workflows, which are designed to be used by end users for self-service access to
virtual desktops and remote applications. These workflows are intended to be
run only in vCloud Automation Center.
Workflows/vSphereWebClient Workflows that are intended to be run by administrators or delegated
administrators in vSphere Web Client but can also be run in the Orchestrator
client.
