Can I set an icon on resource actions from a vRO Workflow?

[EdSp]

Hi,

Using an Orchestrator workflow, I can set an icon on a vRA catalog Service, or on a vRA Catalog Item.

However, I can't figure out how to set an icon on a vRA Resource Action using a vRO workflow...

Is this possible? Has anyone done this before?

Many thanks!

I have found out that I need to setup an item service first, something like for example:

itemsvc = vCACHost.createCatalogClient().getCatalogProviderResourceActionService();

Next, I need to find my resource action, that I want to assign an icon to. I can do this using something like for example:

var resOps = Server.findAllForType("vCACCAFE:catalogConsumerResourceService","My Resource Action");
// select my resource action into: myResOp

or

var resOps = itemsvc.findResourceActions();
// loop through and find "My Resource Action"
// select my resource action into: myResOp

Then, if I found my resource action (and after setting up my icon), I need to update my resource action with the new icon, with a call such as:

itemsvc.createOrUpdateResourceAction(myResOp);

Clearly, there are a lot of 'variables' in the above logic and I am not able to find the "winning combination"! :-{

Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks,

Ed

This is how i did it, hope this helps someone.

//Inputs: 
//iconId: String - Unique Icon Id 
//ResourceActionName: String - Resource Action Name
//find your resource action
var vCACCatalogResourceActions = Server.findAllForType("vCACCAFE:catalogResourceAction",ResourceActionName);
if (vCACCatalogResourceActions.length > 0)
{
     //find host for tenant 
     var tenantId = vCACCatalogResourceActions[0].organization.getTenantRef();
     var host = vCACCAFEHostManager.getDefaultHostForTenant(tenantId);
     //create catalog client
     var catalogClient = host.createCatalogClient();
     //build put call json 
     var postData = {"iconId":iconId, "publishStatus":"PUBLISHED"};
     //make put call to resource url 
     var response = catalogClient.put("/resourceOperations/"+vCACCatalogResourceActions[0].id,postData);
     if (response.getStatus() != 200)
     throw "Failed updating resource operation: "+response.getBodyAsString();
     System.log("Resource operation updated successfully")
}
else
     throw "Resource Action not found"+ResourceActionName;
