Procedure
1 In the object navigator, click vRealize Orchestrator.
2 Click Scheduled workflows.
A list of the scheduled workflows appears.
3 Click Scheduled workflows.
4 Right-click the workflow that you want to run and select Run now.
What to do next
You can view information about the workflow run in the Recent Tasks pane or in the Orchestrator server
menu. See View Information About Workflow Runs.
Suspend a Scheduled Task
You can suspend a scheduled workflow run. You can also resume suspended scheduled tasks.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have configured at least one Orchestrator server to work with the same Single Sign-On
instance to which both the vCenter Server and vSphere Web Client are pointing. You must also ensure
that Orchestrator is registered as a vCenter Server extension. You register Orchestrator as a
vCenter Server extension when you specify a user account that has the necessary privileges to manage
vCenter Serverextensions. For more information, see Installing and Configuring
VMware vRealize Orchestrator.
