You can manually disable or enable your vRealize Orchestrator integration so you can perform maintenance while the integration is still running.

You can disable your vRealize Orchestrator integration to perform maintenance. While disabled, your vRealize Orchestrator integration is still in a RUNNING state so you can continue to perform tasks such as resource monitoring and data collection.
Note: In addition to manual disabling, the vRealize Orchestrator Gateway service performs periodic health status checks to verify if your vRealize Orchestrator integrations are active or not. Any inactive vRealize Orchestrator integrations are disabled automatically and are set to the DISCONNECTED state. You will be unable to perform tasks such as data collection or resource monitoring on disconnected integrations.
After disabling a vRealize Orchestrator integration, or having the integration be disconnected by the health status checker, workflows will only run on remaining integrations that are enabled. If your environment includes multiple enabled vRealize Orchestrator integrations which are not managed through project constraints or capability tags, a random vRealize Orchestrator integration will be selected to run your workflow.
Note: Since the vRealize Orchestrator integration is selected randomly, you must ensure that information required to run a given operation is available on all integrations. For content entities such as workflows, this means that they should be synchronized across all integrations. For inventory objects there is no guarantee that they will have the same object identifier on all integrations, so trying to run a workflow that includes such an inventory object as a input parameter might fail.

For information on managing multiple vRealize Orchestrator integrations with project constraints and capability tags, see Managing multiple vRealize Orchestrator integrations with project constraints and Managing multiple vRealize Orchestrator integrations with cloud account capability tags.

Prerequisites

Configure one or more vRealize Orchestrator integrations in Cloud Assembly. See Configure a vRealize Orchestrator integration in Cloud Assembly.

Procedure

  1. Disable your vRealize Orchestrator integration.
    1. Navigate to Infrastructure > Connections > Integrations.

    3. Under vRealize Orchestrator Server Credentials, toggle off the Enable endpoint option.
    4. Click Validate.
    5. After successful validation, click Save.
  2. Perform the necessary maintenance tasks on the disabled vRealize Orchestrator integration.
  3. Enable your vRealize Orchestrator integration.
    1. Navigate to Infrastructure > Connections > Integrations.
    2. Select the previously disabled vRealize Orchestrator integration.
    3. Under vRealize Orchestrator Server Credentials, toggle on the Enable endpoint option.
    4. Click Validate.
    5. After successful validation, click Save.
