Hi everybody
We search some ideas to create a XaaS blueprint to Automate business groups creation, with the associate reservations , Network profiles associate, Entitlements associate, etc.....
We have found this example : https://tgeorgiev.com/2015/11/03/automate-business-groups-creation-with-catalog-items-and-entitlemen... but it dates from 2015.
You know an other example most recently ?
thx for your help.
Hi there!
I've done that for some clients and I must to say that is not quite easy.
This is one of my vRO Workflow:
There are workflows in the plugin to create the Machine Prefix, the Business Group and the Entitlements (in my workflow, the "Create Client Entitlements" is a bigger workflow with all the calls). But sadly, to create the Reservation I've used direct API calls. Although complicated, it is very well explained in the "vrealize-automation-73-programming-guide.pdf" document.
I hope this leads you in the right direction.

Thx bdamian for your feedback !
Thats is one of mutiple question : It's more efficient to create a reservation with API calls or with a workflow ?
Actually we try to create a reservation with a workflow.
This Workflow works :
BUT we still have a lot of attributes to put in place dynamically.
The selection of :
- vCenter environments for example: We have 4 vCenter with clusters that have identical names on the 4 vCenter.
In short, the journey is still very long and we don't know if it is better to work with a Workflow than an API call.
- Ressource Pool
- Network
- Datastore
- etc....
Have a nice week-end
I've started to use the API because in vRA6 there was no workflow to create reservations. The workflows always end in API calls so I imagine that it's no big difference. The only thing that matters is to do the things in the way you need to do it.

YEP,
we just see these two post :
they speak about a vCO plug-in "Reservation Manager" created by "Flow Grab".
The web Site "Flow Grab" is down.
Thx for your feedback.
