How to increase the Workflow Token limit beyond default 100

[lurims]

in vRA 7.X control center logging tab used to provide to increase the global worklfow tokens settings for last # of executuons/workflow tokens.  It seems that is missing in vRA 8.6.X.  Any idea how to increase this to a different number?

I think it is there as always.

- Go to Advanced Options in vRO Control Center

- Change the value of Maximum number of preserved runs per workflow to your needs. (I set it to 10)

- Click Save and wait for server to restart.

If that doesn't work by any chance. Then, you can try this other method.

- Go to System Properties in vRO Control Center

- Add a new property ch.dunes.task.max-workflow-tokens with value of your choice

- Click Add and Click Save changes and wait for server to restart.

Do you know if an API call exists for these settings to change?

Yes. We can use properties-controller in the vco-controlcenter API for this purpose. Remember to use root creds to login.

POST /properties

body = 

{ 
   "error": "string", 
   "id": "string",
   "properties": [
     {
       "key": "ch.dunes.task.max-workflow-tokens",
       "value": "10",
       "description": "Max WF Tokens"
     }
   ]
 }

OR curl: 

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{ \ 
   "error": "string", \ 
   "id": "string", \ 
   "properties": [ \ 
     { \ 
       "key": "ch.dunes.task.max-workflow-tokens", \ 
       "value": "10", \ 
       "description": "Max WF Tokens" \ 
     } \ 
   ] \ 
 }' 'https://vro_fqdn.domain.local/vco-controlcenter/api/properties'

Important: In case, there are already existing properties added in your vRO, follow the below steps. Otherwise, above step would be enough.

Just do a GET on /properties and save its output. That output has already existing properties on your vRO. We have to pass them as well in the POST body.

{ "error": null, "id": "null", "properties": [ { "key": "o11n.plugin.SQL.classpath", "value": "/var/run/vco/plugins/SQL/lib/mysql-connector-java-8.0.12.jar", "description": "SQL connector" }, { "key": "com.vmware.js.allow-local-process", "value": "true", "description": "allow to execute local processes" }, { "key": "com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic-authentication.enabled", "value": "true", "description": "Basic Authentication for web service" }, { "key": "com.vmware.vro.extensions.profiler.enabled", "value": "true", "description": null }, { "key": "ch.dunes.task.max-workflow-tokens", "value": "10", "description": "Max WF Tokens" } ] }

This way you will preserve the existing properties.

Please mark as correct if it works for you. That would be great.
