How to get all provider vdcs given a vCenter?

[kalid]

Hi,

I would like to get all provider vdcs for a given vCenter. Right now I am using vCloud 1.0, so I would like the solution to be using the given api.

Also, if possible I would prefer to use java Sdk, but rest api is also good.

vCloud 1.5 solutions are also welcomed  (it will make a strong point to upgrade:) ).

Edit: I would also like to find out how to do the same stuff but for vApp Templates.

Thanks,

K.

Hi,

You can use the vCloud API 1.5 query service to get this information.

REST API

     https://cloud/api/query?type=providerVdc

SDK Code snippet

// vc name
String vcName = "vc name";
// get the query service
QueryService queryService = vcloudClient.getQueryService();
// query the provider vdc and iterate the results.
RecordResult<QueryResultVMWProviderVdcRecordType> result = queryService.queryRecords(QueryRecordType.PROVIDERVDC);
for (QueryResultVMWProviderVdcRecordType record : result.getRecords()) {
// match the actual and the expected vc name.
if (record.getOtherAttributes().containsKey(new QName("vcName")) && record.getOtherAttributes().get(new QName("vcName")).equals(vcName)) {
// prints the provider vdc name
System.out.println(record.getName());
}
}
