getworkflowtokenresult from soap

Hi,

My workflow is returning an array as output parameter. In this case the output I get with getworkflowtokenresult apparently does not contain the values I expect, for example:
from orchestrator the array "ltemplates" contains 4 elements:

My environment:

vCO Server: Windows based 4.2.0

SOAP Client: SoapUI 3.6.1 running on OSX Lion

I created a simple workflow that returns an array of VC:VirtualMachine objects as it appears this is essentially what you are looking to do as well...

When I run the getWorkflowTokenResult, I get the following response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

         <getWorkflowTokenResultReturn>

Please give more information as to which version server and what type of SOAP client you are using... Your results should be similar in appearance and format to what i have pasted here.

Additional Note: I used a member of my vco admins group when authenticating against the SOAP api - did you? if not, what permissions did the user account have?

Hi, thanks for your answer.

I use the oracle's package UTL_HTTP in my pl/sql and vCO Server: Windows based 4.2.1 build 555. I used a member of my vco admins group.

My goal is to obtain a list of templates names

That's odd ... I just spun up a vCO 4.2.1 appliance and ran my same test workflow using SOAP UI and got same results as I did when using vCO 4.2.0....

Hi Burke,

I finally sorted out! I was invoking getWorkflowTokenResult while the workflow was still running and therefore all the elements had NULL value. I inroduced a loop in my pl/sql to check the workflow status with getWorkflowTokenStatus and exit when the status is different from "running".

Regards,

Alessio
