Resource Action at VRA 8.2 - how to pass vmname in request

Hi All,

 

I am trying to put together a day 2 action through VRA 8 resource actions.

Everything works fine until, getting the vmname through the request.

On the picture below, I am editing the  request parameters, and I need to pass the right vmname value as a string. vmname in the request is mapped directly through the resourcename. However in the actions created to populate the return values, I also need to pass the vmname.

Can you please advise?

Do you know where can I find related documentation?

 

Thanks and regards,

Reinaldo Damiao
