Run a Workflow on a Selection of Objects in a Loop

The following JavaScript example takes the array of virtual machines and runs a workflow on each one in a

For loop. VMs and workflowToRun are workflow inputs.

var len=VMs.length;

for (var i=0; i < len; i++ )

{

var VM = VMs[i];

//var workflowToLaunch = Server.getWorkflowWithId("

workflowId

");

var workflowToLaunch = workflowToRun;

if (workflowToLaunch == null) {

throw "Workflow not found";

}

var workflowParameters = new Properties();

workflowParameters.put("vm",VM);

var wfToken = workflowToLaunch.execute(workflowParameters);

System.log ("Ran workflow on " +VM.name);
