You can use vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager to run pipeline stubs in a synchronous or asynchronous manner.

When running a stub in an asynchronous manner, other pipeline stages are run without waiting for the custom logic to complete. For example, a pre-capture configured to run asynchronously runs in parallel with the capture stage. However, a post-capture run is initiated only after the capture stage is run. You can schedule post-capture to run in parallel with the next scheduled stage, such as pre-test.

To associate a tag to a vRealize Orchestrator work flow, edit the global custom tag name of the work flow to include the vRSLCM_CUSTOM keyword. Alternatively, you can use the /Library/Tagging/Tag name. Migration of pre and post stub content is not supported.

Prerequisites

Verify that vRealize Orchestrator endpoints to be used in the pre or post stub work flows are added in vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager and that they are tagged with vRSLCM_CUSTOM keyword.

Procedure

  1. On the Content Settings, click the Edit icon.

    The Configure Pipeline Stub page appears.

    The Name and Execute Pipeline condition appears.

  2. Select Run in background if the stub is to be run in an asynchronous manner.
  3. Select the Endpoint from the drop-down menu.
  4. Select a Workflow and click Submit.
    Only work flows that are tagged as vRSLCM_CUSTOM appear in the list.
  5. Select the Input Param Configuration and click Submit.
