Install vRealize Orchestrator Customization
You can run a workflow to install the customized state change workflow stubs and Orchestrator menu
operation workflows.
Procedure
1 From the drop-down menu in the Orchestrator client, select Run or Design.
2 Click the Workflows view.
3 Select Library > vCloud Automation Center > Infrastructure Administration > Extensibility >
Installation.
4 Right-click the Install vCO customization workflow and select Start workflow.
5 Select an IaaS host.
6 Click Next.
7 Choose the lifecycle stages to which you want to add custom logic by selecting one or more state
change workflow stubs to install.
8 Click Submit.
Create a vRealize Orchestrator Endpoint
vRealize Automation uses vRealize Orchestrator endpoints to run workflows. You can configure multiple
endpoints to connect to different vRealize Orchestrator servers. Each endpoint must have a priority.
When executing vRealize Orchestrator workflows, vRealize Automation tries the highest priority
vRealize Orchestrator endpoint first. If that endpoint is not reachable, then it proceeds to try the next
highest priority endpoint until a vRealize Orchestrator server is available to run the workflow.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an IaaS administrator.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Endpoints > Endpoints.
2 Select New Endpoint > Orchestration > vCenter Orchestrator.
3 Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
