Name in vSphere for catalog vApp templates

[vin01]

Is it possible to get the Name in vSphere for vapp template vms in vcloud director.

I can get the name mentioned in vcenter for CI VM using below cmdlets

$vm=Get-CIVM

Get-View –RelatedObject $vm

but not able to get for vapp template vms.

Here is the script I am missing the full name in vcenter for a vapp template.

foreach($org in Get-Org |Sort-Object -Property Name){
foreach($catlog in ($org|Get-Catalog  | Sort-Object -Property Name)){
foreach($VAppTemplate in ($catlog |Get-CIVAppTemplate | Sort-Object -Property Name)){
foreach($CIVMTemplate in ($VAppTemplate |Get-CIVMTemplate | Sort-Object -Property Name)){
"" |Select-Object  @{N="Org Name";E={$catlog.Org}},
@{N="Catlog Name";E={$catlog.Name}},
@{N="Catlog Owner";E={$catlog.Owner}},
@{N="VAppTemplate Name";E={$VAppTemplate.Name}},
@{N="VAppTemplate Owner";E={$VAppTemplate.Owner}},
@{N="VMTemplate Name";E={$CIVMTemplate.Name}}
}
}
}
}

Did you already try changing

foreach($CIVMTemplate in ($VAppTemplate |Get-CIVMTemplate | Sort-Object -Property Name)){

to

foreach($CIVMTemplate in (Get-CIVMTemplate -VAppTemplate $VAppTemplate | Sort-Object -Property Name)){

I don't think the VAppTemplate parameter can be passed through the pipeline.

It worked for me I can able to get the output

but I am trying to get the name which is given in vcenter for vapp template.

why this cmdlet is not working for vapp template objects?

same is working for virtualmachine objects

Did you try passing it to Get-CIView first?

Thanks its working  after passing Get-CIview.

I have the same issue but i am a bit confused  could you provide the complete  code. When you say pass  get-ciview do i pass it to get -view -relatedobject ?

Because that does not work

Could you elaborate on this, I have tried a few different ways but I cant get it to work.
