If you require JavaScript access to classes outside of the java.util.* package, you can list in a configuration
file the Java packages to which to allow JavaScript access. You then set the com.vmware.scripting.rhino-
class-shutter-file system property to point to this file.
Procedure
1 Create a text configuration file to store the list of Java packages to which to allow JavaScript access.
For example, to allow JavaScript access to all the classes in the java.net package and to the
java.lang.Object class, you add the following content to the file.
java.net.*
java.lang.Object
2 Save the configuration file with an appropriate name and in an appropriate place.
3 Navigate to the following folder on the Orchestrator server system.
Option Action
If you installed Orchestrator with the
vCenter Server installer
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\conf.
If you installed the standalone
version of Orchestrator
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\conf.
4 Open the vmo.properties configuration file in a text editor.
5 Set the com.vmware.scripting.rhino-class-shutter-file system property by adding the following line
to the vmo.properties file.
com.vmware.scripting.rhino-class-shutter-file=
path_to_your_configuration_file
6 Save the vmo.properties file.
7 Restart the Orchestrator server.
The JavaScript engine has access to the Java classes that you specified.
Set Custom Timeout Property
When vCenter is overloaded, it takes more time to return the response to the Orchestrator server than the 20000
milliseconds set by default. To prevent this situation, you must modify the Orchestrator configuration file to
increase the default timeout period.
If the default timeout period expires before the completion of certain operations, the Orchestrator server log
contains errors.
Operation 'getPropertyContent' total time : '5742228' for 1823 calls, mean time : '3149.0', min
time : '0', max time : '32313'
