get all template

[orian]

Hi,

Is there a workflow\action which get all the templates available in the Orchestrator?

I would like to allow the user to choose a template from a list of templates which inform him also about the vCenter it is connected

Thanks!

Hi,

There is a boolean flag in virtual machine configuration object, indicating whether the virtual machine is a template or not. Here is some sample scripting code showing how to get all templates from all configured vCenter server instances:

var vms = VcPlugin.allVirtualMachines;
var templates = []; // templates will be stored into this array
for each (var vm in vms) {
  if (vm.config != null && vm.config.template) {
    templates.push(vm);
  }
}

// iterate over all found templates and print their names
for each (var t in templates) {
  System.log("template -> " + t.name);
}

Can i know  on which vCenter the image is located?

from mind: I think vm.sdkConnection should return the sdkConnection object that represents the vCenter connection this VM/template is located.

I found the sdkConnection parameters.
