Good Evening,
I'm an old men which started with vCenter Orchestrator 5.5 and developed until today over 250 workflows.
That every update is a pain in the ass is nothing new for me. (5.5 -> 6.x -> 7.x)
In the past, my solution was to put all workflows, actions, configurations, ressources in a package and export it, and import on the new Orchestrator Appliance.
After that spend a few days with password encryption and the sheduled workflows and everything was good.
Today i tried to upgrade from 7.2 to 7.4 because i wanted to try the migration to 8.x..
The 7.4 installation is full of errors in the logfiles so I deploeyed a fresh 8.0.1 Installation..
After testing now a little bit I have a few questions:
- Old Java Client is gone forever?
- What is the latest Version with the old Javaclient? I'm not a fan of Java at all but that client was useable.
- Does anyone of the developers use the Orchestrator with the new HTML Client?
- Will there be in a future update the "tree-view" come back to the new Client for workflow, actions and so on? It is currently a nightmare in useability to explorer the workflows - especially if you don't remember the name or "tag".
- Will there be a licence change in the future? Currently I use the standalone Orchestrator with vCenter License.
