development check box.
In this mode, all elements in the Web view are loaded from the specified Web view directory and not from
the Web view content itself.
8 Click Apply changes.
Install an Application
An application is a set of plug-ins and packages. Because a Orchestrator installation contains only a few pre-
defined plug-ins, you must install applications frequently to extend basic functions.
Prerequisites
Obtain the .vmoapp file containing the application.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 On the General tab, click Install Application.
3 Browse to select the .vmoapp file to install.
4 Click Install.
What to do next
Every time you install an application, a validation is made on the server configuration. In most cases, you must
perform additional configuration steps.
Start a Published Web View
You can use Web views to build the user front-end. Web views might vary from a simple page displaying basic
information to complex Web 2.0 applications. Orchestrator provides a demonstration Web view called
WebOperator, which you can use to review how Web views work. You can access Web views through the
Orchestrator configuration interface.
Prerequisites
Make sure that the Orchestrator server is started.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 On the General tab, click Web views.
The links to your published Web views appear. You can follow them to open a Web view in a new browser
window.
