Variable Type

host vCAC:VcacHost

You can use one the following examples:

This example script gets all catalog resources for the target host matching the query of

name_of_the_resource by name and description.

var items = vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.findCatalogResources(host, "name_of_the_resource");

This example script performs the following actions:

a Gets the Consumer Resource service and invokes the get method passing as a Pageable parameter

an instance of the vCACCAFEPageOdataRequest object.

b Creates the vCACCAFEPageOdataRequest object by providing an OData query as a single filter of the

name attribute matching the name_of_the_resource string.

var service = host.createCatalogClient().getCatalogConsumerResourceService();

var filter = new Array();

filter[0] = vCACCAFEFilterParam.equal("name",

vCACCAFEFilterParam.string("name_of_the_resource"));

var query = vCACCAFEOdataQuery.query().addFilter(filter);

var items = service.getResourcesList(new vCACCAFEPageOdataRequest(query));

Example: Find Catalog Resources Filtered by Owner

This example script performs the following actions:

1 Gets the Consumer Resource service and invokes the get method passing as a Pageable parameter an

instance of the vCACCAFEPageOdataRequest object.

2 Creates the vCACCAFEPageOdataRequest object by providing an OData query as a single filter of the

owner/ref attribute matching the user@domain.com string.

The owners/ref attribute is a composition based on the internal structure and fields of the catalog

resources. The vCACCAFECatalogResource entity has the owners attribute, which is a collection of

vCACCAFECatalogPrincipal entities. The vCACCAFECatalogPrincipal entity has the ref property, which is

a string representation of the principal id of the user.

var filter = new Array();

filter[0] = vCACCAFEFilterParam.substringOf("owners/ref",

vCACCAFEFilterParam.string("user@domain.com"));

var query = vCACCAFEOdataQuery.query().addFilter(filter);

var items = service.getResourcesList(new vCACCAFEPageOdataRequest(query));
