Example: External Source Example
This example uses the previous example but the values are based on a vRealize Orchestrator action.
Although this is a simple action example, but you can use a more complex action that you retrieve this
information from a local database or system.
1 In vRealize Orchestrator, configure an action, getUserDetails, with an array similar to the following
example.
Use the following script example.
return [{"username":"Fritz", "employeeId":6096,"manager":"Tom"}]
2 In vRealize Automation, add the data grid and configure the data grid columns with the following
values.
Label ID Type
Username username String
Employee ID employeeId Integer
Manger manger String
3 In the Value source list, select External source.
4 In Select action, enter getUserDetails and select the action you created in vRealize Orchestrator.
5 Save and verify the table in the request form.
