Type Value Description
String
parentType
The type of parent object.
The parentType property can be the
name of a plug-in, or it can specify a
more narrowly defined parent. For
example, you can specify the
parentType as "VC:" to obtain the
objects at the root of VMware vCenter
Server plug-in, or you can a specific
folder, such as "VC:VmFolder".
String
parentId
The ID of a particular parent object.
The parentId parameter allows you to
find the children of a specific parent
object, if you know its ID.
String
relation
The name of the relation.
Calling findRelation returns all
children elements under a parent
identified by its parentId. If you omit
the parentId the parentType is not the
root type of the inventory, the
findRelation operation returns null.
See “Relation Types,” on page 270 for
more information.
String
username
Orchestrator user name.
String
password
Orchestrator password.
Relation Types
The relation property types are defined by the plug-ins. The validity of relations depends on the parent type.
This table lists the relation types defined by each of the standard plug-ins provided by Orchestrator.
