Batch Workflows
Batch workflows populate configuration elements or run workflows on a selected vCenter Server object.
You can access the batch workflows from Library > vCenter > Batch in the Workflows view of the
Orchestrator client.
Fill batch configuration
elements
Populates the configuration elements that the Run a workflow on a selection
of objects workflow uses. Performs the following tasks:
n
Resets the BatchObject and BatchAction configuration elements.
n
Fills the BatchObject configuration element with all of the workflows
that have only one input parameter.
n
Fills the BatchAction configuration element with all of the actions that
have no input parameters or one input parameter and that have an array
as the returnType.
Run a workflow on a
selection of objects
Runs a workflow on a selection of vCenter Server objects, taking one action
as input. This is the action that retrieves the list of objects on which to run the
workflow. To return the objects without running the selected workflow, run
the workflow in simulation mode.
Cluster and Compute Resource Workflows
With cluster and compute resource workflows, you can create, rename or delete a cluster, and enable or
disable high availability, Distributed Resource Scheduler, and vCloud Distributed Storage on a cluster.
You can access the cluster and compute resource workflows from Library > vCenter > Cluster and Compute
Resource in the Workflows view of the Orchestrator client.
