After you install a plug-in in Automation Orchestrator, you can create and run workflows. If you want to include these workflows in the plug-in package, you must export the content of the workflows to the plug-in project.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Automation Orchestrator Client.
  2. Navigate to Assets > Packages.
  3. Click New Package.
  4. In the Package name text box, enter com.vmware.library.redis.
  5. On the Content tab, add your Redis workflows.
  6. Click Create.
  7. On the machine where you created the Redis plug-in, open the pom.xml file of the package o11nplugin-redis-package module.
  8. Modify the packageName property of the plug-in package configuration. 
    <plugin> 
    <groupId>com.vmware.o11n.mojo.pkg</groupId> 
    <artifactId>maven-o11n-package-plugin</artifactId> 
    <version>${vco.version}</version> 
    <extensions>true</extensions> 
    <configuration> 
        <packageName>com.vmware.o11n.library.redis</packageName> 
        <!-- Set the local path to the *.vmokeystore file used to sign the content --> 
        <keystoreLocation>${keystoreLocation}</keystoreLocation> 
        <keystorePassword>${keystorePassword}</keystorePassword> 
        <includes> 
            <include>**/Library/Redis/**/*.element_info.xml</include> 
        </includes> 
        <packageFileName>o11nplugin-redis-package-${project.version}</packageFileName> 
        <allowedMask>vef</allowedMask> 
        <exportVersionHistory>false</exportVersionHistory> 
    </configuration> 
</plugin>

    The allowedMask must have a value of vef if you want the contents of your package to be editable after they are installed alongside the plug-in. Removing the letter "e" and having only a value of vf does not allow you to edit your content from the UI.

  9. Go to the o11nplugin-redis-package folder and run the mvn import command. 
    mvn o11n-package:import-package -DserverUrl={orchestrator_host}:{orchestrator_port} -Dusername={orchestrator_user} -Dpassword={orchestrator_pass} -Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true -Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.allowall=true
    You must replace the placeholders with the parameters of your environment. If your user name includes a domain, for example [email protected], you must add a slash (\) to your user name. 
    vsphere.local\administrator
    Two new files appear under the o11nplugin-redis-package/src/main/resources/Workflow/Library folder.

Results

You have added new content to your plug-in project. To add more content, add this content to the plug-in package, and run the mvn import command.
