Example: Find Catalog Resources Filtered by Name and Owner

This example script combines the OData queries from the previous two examples into a single one condition

by using the vCACCAFEFilterParam.and(array of conditions) logic operator.

var conditions = new Array();

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

vCACCAFEFilterParam.string("name_of_the_resource_here"));

conditions[1] = vCACCAFEFilterParam.substringOf("owners/ref",

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

var filter = new Array();

filter[0] = vCACCAFEFilterParam.and(conditions);

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

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

You can define other conditions by using different logic operators such as

vCACCAFEFilterParam.group(array of parameters), vCACCAFEFilterParam.not(parameter),

vCACCAFEFilterParam.startsWith(id, string), vCACCAFEFilterParam.endsWith(id, string),

vCACCAFEFilterParam.greaterThan(id, number), vCACCAFEFilterParam.lessThan(id, number), and so on.

An Example Script for Getting a Virtual Machine Provisioned as a

vCloud Automation Center Catalog Resource

You can cut, paste, and edit the JavaScript example to write scripts for retrieving the actual entities of

vCloud Automation Center provisioned resources.

The CatalogResource type represents the provisioned resources in vCloud Automation Center. This type has

an attribute of ProviderBinding type which represents the relation between the catalog resource and its

provider with the following attributes:

bindingId - represents the identifier of the entity which is unique for the provider

providerRef - identifies the catalog provider which corresponds directly to a service registered in

thevCloud Automation Center component registry

For more information about scripting in vCenter Orchestrator, see Developing with VMware vCenter

Orchestrator.

Example: Get a vCloud Automation Center Resource Provisioned by IaaS

This example uses a vCloud Automation Center host and its IaaS host as input parameters and, for a

provided resource id, returns the corresponding IaaS virtual machine. The scripting code takes only catalog

resources of Virtual Machine type that are provisioned by the iaas-service provider.

Table 3‑21. Input Variables

Variable Type

vcacHost vCACCAFE:VCACHost

iaasHost vCAC:VCACHost

// Id of the catalog resource (or vCACCAFECatalogResource_instance.getId())

var resourceId = "c222629c-6f90-4458-8c92-8ece0ba06173";

var resource = vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.getCatalogResource(vcacHost, resourceId);

var resourceType = resource.getResourceTypeRef().getLabel();
