Configure a vRealize Orchestrator integration in Cloud Assembly

You can configure one or more vRealize Orchestrator integrations, so that you can use workflows as part of extensibility and cloud templates.

vRealize Automation includes a preconfigured embedded vRealize Orchestrator instance. You can access the client of the embedded vRealize Orchestrator from the vRealize Automation Cloud Services Console.

Note: You can access the Control Center of the embedded vRealize Orchestrator by navigating to https:// your_vRA_FQDN/vco-controlcenter and logging in as root.

You can also integrate an external vRealize Orchestrator instance for use in your vRealize Automation extensibility subscriptions and XaaS (Anything as a Service) operations used for cloud templates.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you have cloud administrator credentials. See Credentials required for working with cloud accounts in vRealize Automation.
• Upgrade or migrate to vRealize Orchestrator 8.3. See Upgrading and Migrating VMware vRealize Orchestrator.

Procedure

1. Select Infrastructure > Connections > Integrations.
2. Click Add integration.
3. Select vRealize Orchestrator.
4. Enter a name for the vRealize Orchestrator integration.
5. (Optional) Enter a description for the vRealize Orchestrator integration.
6. Under vRealize Orchestrator URL, enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your external vRealize Orchestrator instance.
   For example, https:// my_vRO_FQDN.com:443.
7. To validate the integration, click Validate.
8. (Optional) If prompted to do so, review the certificate information, and click Accept.
9. (Optional) Add capability tags. For more information on capability tags, see Using capability tags in Cloud Assembly.
   Note: Capability tags can be used to manage multiple vRealize Orchestrator integrations. See Managing multiple vRealize Orchestrator integrations with project constraints.
10. Click Add.
    The vRealize Orchestrator integration is saved.
11. To verify that the integration is configured and that the workflows are added, select Extensibility > Library > Workflows.

What to do next

Access the integrated external vRealize Orchestrator Client:

1. Navigate to the vRealize Automation Cloud Services Console.
2. Select Orchestrator.
3. Select the tab that corresponds to the integrated vRealize Orchestrator instance.

Note: Cloud Assembly users without cloud administrator credentials cannot see the tab of the integrated vRealize Orchestrator instance.
