The JavaScript engine has access to the Java classes that you specified.
Set Custom Timeout Property
When vCenter is overloaded, it takes more time to return the response to the Orchestrator server than the
20000 milliseconds set by default. To prevent this situation, you must modify the Orchestrator configuration
file to increase the default timeout period.
If the default timeout period expires before the completion of certain operations, the Orchestrator server log
contains errors.
Operation 'getPropertyContent' total time : '5742228' for 1823 calls, mean time : '3149.0', min
time : '0', max time : '32313'
Timeout, unable to get property 'info' com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.model.TimeoutException
Procedure
1 On the Orchestrator server system, navigate to the folder that contains configuration files.
Option Action
If you installed Orchestrator with
the vCenter Server installer
Go to
install_directory\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-
server\conf.
If you installed the standalone
version of Orchestrator
Go to install_directory\VMware\Orchestrator\app-server\conf.
If you downloaded and deployed
the virtual appliance
Go to /etc/vco/app-server/.
2 Open the vmo.properties configuration file in a text editor.
3 Set the com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.waitUpdatesTimeout system property by adding the following line
to the vmo.properties file.
com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.waitUpdatesTimeout=<milliseconds>
4 Save the vmo.properties file.
5 Restart the Orchestrator server.
The value you set overrides the default timeout setting of 20000 milliseconds.
Modify the Number of Objects a Plug-In Search Obtains
By default, using the Orchestrator client to search for objects through a plug-in returns 20 objects at a time.
You can modify the plug-in configuration file to increase the number of objects that are returned.
Prerequisites
You must have installed a plug-in in the Orchestrator server.
