3 Type the password you used when exporting the configuration.
This step is not necessary if you have not specified a password.
4 Browse to select the .vmoconfig file you exported from your previous installation.
5 Select whether to override the Orchestrator internal certificate and network settings.
Select the check box only if you want to restore your Orchestrator configuration and the .vmoconfig file
is the backup file of the same Orchestrator configuration.
If you import the configuration to duplicate the Orchestrator environment, for example for scaling
purposes, leave the check box unselected. Otherwise you might have problems with the certificates when
Orchestrator tries to identify against vCenter Server, vCenter Single Sign On or the vSphere Web Client.
6 Click Import.
A message states that the configuration is successfully imported. The new system replicates the old
configuration completely.
Configure the Maximum Number of Events and Runs
You can define the maximum number of events stored in the Orchestrator database and the maximum number
of workflow runs.
Each event corresponds to a change in the state of a workflow or policy and is stored in the database. When
the maximum number of events set for a workflow or policy is reached, the database deletes the oldest event
to store the new event.
Each time you run a workflow, a workflow token is created in the database. This token contains all parameters
related to the running of the workflow. For example, if you run a workflow three times, three workflow tokens
are created. The three tokens appear in the Orchestrator client below the workflow.
Procedure
1 Log in to the Orchestrator configuration interface as vmware.
2 On the General tab, click Advanced Configuration.
3 Fill in the Maximum number of events text box.
To track every change in your infrastructure, type 0. This means that the server never rolls over, but it
might become unavailable. Database administrators must periodically clean the server and archive events.
4 Fill in the Maximum number of runs text box.
After you reach the maximum number of runs, the rollover process starts. If you do not want the rollover
process to start, type 0 in this text box. If you type 0, your database continues to extend.
5 (Optional) To set the default login credentials, fill in the User name for automatic Web login and Password
for automatic Web login text boxes.
This feature allows you to generate URLs that enable you to run, answer, schedule, or monitor a workflow
without having to specify your credentials. Use your default operator credentials for these text boxes.
6 Fill in the Web view directory text box.
This is the root folder from which development Web views are loaded. Files for each Web view must be
in a separate subfolder, and the name of this subfolder must be the same as the URL folder defined in the
client.
7 (Optional) To put the server in Web view development mode, select the Enable Web view
development check box.
8 Click Apply changes.
