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));

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.

Get a Resource Provisioned by vCloud Automation Center Example

Script

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
