You can cut, paste, and adapt the JavaScript examples to help you write scripts for common VMware Cloud Director tasks.

For more information about scripting, see the Developing with VMware vRealize Orchestrator.

Get Records for All Enabled Organizations

The following JavaScript example uses the AdminQueryService object to get records for all enabled organizations on a given VMware Cloud Director instance. 

var host = ...
var queryService = host.toAdminObject().getAdminQueryService();
 
var expression = new VclExpression(VclQueryOrgField.ISENABLED, "true", VclExpressionType.EQUALS);
var filter = new VclFilter(expression);
var params = new VclQueryParams();
params.setFilter(filter);
 
var resultSet = queryService.queryOrgRecords(params);
while (resultSet != null) {
    // the records should be of type related to the query
    // in this case the type is VclQueryResultOrgRecord
    var records = resultSet.getRecords();
    System.log(records.length + " records found");
    for (var i = 0; i < records.length; i++) {
 System.log(records[i].name);
    }

    } else {
 break;
    }
}

var filter = new VclFilter(expression);
var params = new VclQueryParams();
params.setFilter(filter);

var resultSet = queryService.queryOrgReferences(params);
while (resultSet != null) {

        break;
     }
}

Resume a Blocking Task Related to a vApp Deployment Notification

With the following JavaScript example, you can resume a blocking task related to a vApp deployment notification. 

var host = ...
var message = ...

var helper = new VclNotificationHelper();
helper.setMessage(message);

if (helper.getNotificationEventType() == VclEventType.VAPP_DEPLOY) {
     var vappLink = helper.getTaskOwnerLink();
     var vapp = host.getEntityById(VclFinderType.VAPP, vappLink.type, vappLink.id);
     // do something with the vApp ...

     if (helper.isBlockingTask()) {
          var taskLink = helper.getBlockingTaskLink();
          var task = host.getEntityById(VclFinderType.BLOCKING_TASK, taskLink.id);
          task.resume("put the resuming message here");
     }
}

Configure a DHCP Service on a vApp Network

With the following JavaScript example, you can configure a DHCP service on a vApp network. 

var dhcpService = ... 
var vapp = ... 
var networkName = ... 
var networkConfigSection = vapp.getNetworkConfigSection(); 
var found = false; 
var existingNetworkConfigArray = networkConfigSection.networkConfig.enumerate(); 
for (index = 0; index < existingNetworkConfigArray.length; index++) { 
 var networkConfig = existingNetworkConfigArray[index];
 if (networkConfig.networkName == networkName) {
   var networkConfiguration = networkConfig.configuration;		
     if (networkConfiguration.fenceMode == VclFenceModeValuesType.BRIDGED.value) {
      throw 'Dhcp service cannot be applied to network "' + networkName + '"!';
      }
       if (networkConfiguration.features == null) {
        networkConfiguration.features = new VclNetworkFeatures();
        }
        var serviceSet = networkConfiguration.features.networkService;
        var services = serviceSet.find(new VclDhcpService());
         if (services.length > 0) {
          for (i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
           serviceSet.remove(services[i]);
          }
         }
        serviceSet.add(dhcpService);
        found = true;
   }

      gatewayConfiguration.edgeGatewayServiceConfiguration = new VclGatewayFeatures();
}
var serviceSet = gatewayConfiguration.edgeGatewayServiceConfiguration.networkService;
var services = serviceSet.find(new VclGatewayDhcpService());
if (services.length > 0) {
     for (i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {

if (gatewayConfiguration.edgeGatewayServiceConfiguration == null) {
							gatewayConfiguration.edgeGatewayServiceConfiguration = new VclGatewayFeatures();
}
var serviceSet = gatewayConfiguration.edgeGatewayServiceConfiguration.networkService;
var services = serviceSet.find(new VclGatewayIpsecVpnService());
if (services.length == 0) {
							throw 'VPN service not found on gateway ' + gateway.name;
}
services[0].endpoint.add(vpnEndpoint);
gateway.configuration = gatewayConfiguration;
task = gateway.update();

Obtain Performance Statistics
