Example: Find Catalog Resources Filtered by Name

Table 4‑7. Input Variables

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));
