Table 3‑13. Custom Properties V Table (Continued)
This section lists vRealize Automation custom properties that
begin with the letter V.
Property Description
VirtualMachine.SoftwareN.ScriptPath Specifies the full path to an application's install script. The path
must be a valid absolute path as seen by the guest operating
system and must include the name of the script file name.
You can pass custom property values as parameters to the
script by inserting {CustomPropertyName} in the path string.
For example, if you have a custom property named
ActivationKey whose value is 1234, the script path is
D:\InstallApp.bat –key {ActivationKey}. The guest
agent runs the command D:\InstallApp.bat –key 1234.
Your script file can then be programmed to accept and use this
value.
You can also pass custom property values as parameters to
the script by inserting {YourCustomProperty} in the path string.
For example, entering the
value \\vra-
scripts.mycompany.com\scripts\changeIP.bat runs the
changeIP.bat script from a shared location, but entering the
value \\vra-
scripts.mycompany.com\scripts\changeIP.bat
{VirtualMachine.Network0.Address} runs the changeIP
script but also passes the value of the
VirtualMachine.Network0.Address property to the script
as a parameter.
Insert {Owner} to pass the machine owner name to the script.
