Property Object
A Property object represents a key-value pair that describes the properties of an item in the Orchestrator
inventory.
You can obtain a Property object by calling the getProperties operation on a FinderResult object, as the
following example shows.
Property[] props = finderResult.getProperties();
This example method call returns the contents of the FinderResult object's properties attribute.
The following table shows the properties of the Property object.
Type Value Description
String
name
Property name.
String
value
Property value.
The format of a property's values is
defined by each plug-in in its vso.xml
file, under the FinderResult
description.
QueryResult Object
The QueryResult object represents the results of a find query.
A QueryResult object contains an array of FinderResult objects and a counter. A QueryResult object is
returned by the find operation, as the following example shows.
public QueryResult find(String type, String query, String username,
String password);
The following table shows the properties of the QueryResult object.
Type Value Description
Long
totalCount
The total number of objects found.
The QueryResult object contains an
array of FinderResult objects. The
vso.xml file for the relevant plug-in
sets the number of FinderResult
objects the query returns. The standard
plug-ins that Orchestrator provides all
return an unlimited number of
FinderResult objects. The
totalCount property reports the total
number of FinderResult objects
found. If the value of totalCount is
greater than the number set by the
plug-in, the array of FinderResults
returned does not include all the
objects found in the queried inventory.
FinderResult[] elements An array of FinderResult objects.
