Cannot convert 2566 to long[] - When Executing Custom Guest Script

[GoingCrazy]

Hi @all

I'm using orchestrator for a few weeks now. All works well up to now.

I want to receive some informations about a process with a pid (in my example 2566).

As written in the documentation this should work. But I think the orchestrator doesn't recognize the long type.

Are there any ideas how to resolve this?

I'm using Orchestrator on Windows Server (5.5 U1a).

Script:

var host = vm.sdkConnection;

var guestOperationsManager = host.guestOperationsManager;

var guestAuth = new VcNamePasswordAuthentication();

guestAuth.username = vmUsername;

guestAuth.password = vmPassword;

var processManager = guestOperationsManager.processManager;

var guestProcessInfo = processManager.listProcessesInGuest(vm , guestAuth , pid);

Error:

Cannot convert 2566 to long[] (Workflow:Get process from guest / Scriptable task (item1)#8)

Thanks

As far as I see processManager.listProcessesInGuest(vm , guestAuth , pid); is expecting as third parameter array of longs and not a single pid.

pids*

number []

If set, only return information about the specified processes. Otherwise, information about all processes are returned. If a specified processes does not exist, nothing will be returned for that process.

Can you try providing array of pid's.

From provided script I am unable to see how pid variable gets initialized. Is it script input parameter. In tis case what type it is?

To pass the pid as an array instead of a single value, just change the last line of your script

from:

var guestProcessInfo = processManager.listProcessesInGuest(vm , guestAuth , pid);

  to:

var guestProcessInfo = processManager.listProcessesInGuest(vm , guestAuth , [pid]);

Notice the brackets around the pid parameter - this is the Javascript way to treat a single value as an array.
