vRealize Orchestrator and IaaS Object Types
When you use either the InvokeVcoWorkflow or the InvokeVcoWorkflowAsync activity in vRealize Automation
Designer, input and output properties for the activity are automatically populated based on the parameters
of the vRealize Orchestrator workow that you select.
vRealize Orchestrator primitive types are converted into the following IaaS types:
Table 119. vRealize Orchestrator and IaaS Object Types
vRealize Orchestrator Type IaaS Type
string string
boolean bool
number decimal
SecureString string
Text string
Array/T Array<T>
Properties Dictionary<string,object>

integration package to enable the conversion of VC:VirtualMachine object types to VirtualMachine.
All other vRealize Orchestrator types are converted to the IaaS type VcoSdkObject.
