Export the Associations of Workflows with vSphere Objects
You can transfer the associations of workows with objects in the vSphere inventory from one
vSphere Web Client to another by using an XML le.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have congured 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 Serverextension. You register Orchestrator as a
vCenter Server extension when you specify a user account that has the necessary privileges to manage
vCenter Server extensions. For more information, see Installing and Conguring
VMware vRealize Orchestrator.
n
Log in as a member of the Administrators group to be able to congure the default Orchestrator server.
Procedure
1 In the object navigator, click vRealize Orchestrator.
2 Click the Manage tab.
3 Click the Context Actions subtab.
4
Click the Export icon
.
5 Select a location where you want to save the XML le, and click Save.
Import the Association of Workflows with vSphere Objects
You can import an XML le that contains the association of workows with objects in the vSphere inventory.
Prerequisites

Procedure
1 In the object navigator, click vRealize Orchestrator.
2 Click the Manage tab.
3 Click the Context Actions subtab.
4
Click the Import icon .
5 Browse to select the XML le to import and click Open.
Orchestrator compares the two associated workow sets and imports the missing workow associations.
