The following table provides a brief summary of the steps involved when you use the MOB and the vSphere API Reference together.
| Datatype | How to Input Values for Methods |
|---|---|
| Primitive | Enter the value as plain text regardless of its data type (int, string, boolean). Do not use quotes or other markup. |
| Array | Use the name of the parameter as the name of the element, wrap the values in a series of opening and closing tags for each array element. |
| Complex | Obtain XML Schema format information from the vSphere API Reference for the type (from the Show WSDL type definition link). Use the schema definition to construct the sequence of tags around the value (or values) you want to pass to the MOB. |
