Plans for generic SOAP support within workflows?

philsttr — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:26:04 GMT

Hi,

Are there any plans to add generic SOAP support into VMO (so that SOAP operations can be called from workflows)?

By "generic SOAP support", I mean things such as

Importing a WSDL
Having the types exposed by the XML schemas used by the WSDL automatically exposed as types / scriptable objects in VMO
Perhaps having a "SOAP operation" task to invoke a soap operation as part of a workflow.
Perhaps having the interface defined by the WSDL exposed as a scriptable object in VMO (so that operations can be invoked via javascript)

I have a Vmware Foundation license and I have need to install the orchestrator

What do I have to buy in order to install Orchestrator?

Is it plug in sold separately to the standard license for VMware server?

Newly added abstract for the upcoming Technology Exchange - Developer Day. Hope to see you there.

Session ID: DE-01
*Session Title(:Integrating with vCenter Orchestrator

In this session we will discuss the key integration points of the VMware vCenter Orchestrator (vCO). We will discuss the web service API which allows developers to find and run workflows. The plugin API: which allows developers to create vCO plugins which present an external API to the Orchestrator, providing Inventory, Choosers, Scripting extensions and Event generation. This session is ideal for developers looking to integrate with the VMware vCenter Orchestrator APIs. We will also have hands on demos and opportunities to meet the teams from PM and R&D.

PowerShell snapin/module ?

Last VMworld Europe I was impressed by the product.
After the presentation several attendees asked about a PowerShell interface to the product.

Can someone from the Orchestrator people perhaps give us an update on this ?
