vRealize Automation Workflow
Activity Reference 7
VMware provides a library of workflow activities with vRealize Automation Designer for use in customizing
workflows.
Note The CDK is deprecated beginning with vRealize Automation 7.0. You can use the
vRealize Orchestrator workflows to address use cases that you previously addressed with CDK.
Five categories of Windows Workflow Foundation activities are also included in vRealize Automation
Designer, including Control Flow, Flowchart, Primitives, Collection and Error Handling.
This section provides a reference to the IaaS workflow activities included with vRealize Automation
Designer in the DynamicOps.Repository.Activities and DynamicOps.Cdk.Activities
namespaces. Activities related to calling vRealize Orchestrator workflows are described in Using vRealize
Orchestrator Workflow Activities.
Note In the IaaS activity library, the Model Manager is referred to as the repository.
This chapter includes the following topics:
