Re: Cannot get children of a vRA Catalog Resource

benfab · ‎06-24-2019

Hello,

I am struggling to execute this action code below in our environment.

var requestId = request.id; 
 
var resources =  vCACCAFEEntitiesFinder.getCatalogResources(host);  
var catalogResources = new Array(); 
for each (var resource in resources) {     
 if (resource.requestId === requestId) {
           catalogResources.push(resource);  
    } 
}
  if (catalogResources.length === 0) {
   System.warn("Catalog Resource not found"); 
} 
return catalogResources;

I am getting the error below while executing the action in a workflow:

From the logs, it seems that vRO fails to fetch some details from the NSX network:

I would be happy to receive any hints to troubleshoot this issue.
Thank you for you help!

Can you upload your action or workflow for analysis? If the example you have is what is being executed it wouldn't do much of anything so far as I can tell.

benfab · ‎06-25-2019

Thank you for your answer. Please find enclosed the workflow.

qc4vmware · ‎06-25-2019

You've not included the action in the workflow. Please upload that or cut and paste the code into this thread. When you export a workflow it does not include nested workflows or actions. When you make a package and add the workflow to it vRO will do its best to snag all the related objects but just exporting a workflow only grabs that one object.

benfab · ‎06-26-2019

I am attaching the exported action, in addition the action source code is available my initial post.

qc4vmware · ‎06-26-2019

The code of the action you supplied is expecting a catalog item request as the input but your action passes in a catalogResource. I'm attaching an action for you that will retrieve the children of a resource.
