Dynamically filling network based on blueprint component´s Reservation Policy

Good morning,

I have some blueprints with Reservation Policies and now I want to have a network field that pulls the networks attached to Reservations with that same Reservation Policy.

I actually managed to do so by creating an action and tying it up with the VirtualMachine.Network0.Name vRA property.

The thing is, although the network field is filled in with the expected networks (see attached image, I have 4 networks but only 2 attached to the reservation tied to this blueprint´s Reservation Policy), I´m unable to complete the Request. I´m receiving the following message inside catalina.out:

2017-10-19 10:10:10,487 vcac: [component="cafe:composition-service" priority="ERROR" thread="tomcat-http--2" tenant="vsphere.local" context="XbaBuYWK" parent="XbaBuYWK" token="3oCq1BKz"] com.vmware.vcac.composition.service.impl.PropertyDefinitionGatewayImpl.getValues:43 - Error retrieving property definition for property with id [VirtualMachine.Network0.Name]

It seens that although the field has the correct information, it is going empty to the request, and I have no idea why.

Attached I´m also sending an image of the VirtualMachine.Network0.Name configured inside the Property Dictionary (sorry for it being in Portuguese: "Cadeia de caracteres" = "String" and "Lista suspensa" = "Dropdown list").

Below the full code for the action (return type is Properties).

// Captura do blueprint, tenant e instancia do vRA na qual a requisicao esta sendo feita

var tenant = System.getContext().getParameter("__asd_tenantRef");

var host = vCACCAFEHostManager.getDefaultHostForTenant(tenant , true);

var blueprintName = System.getContext().getParameter("__asd_composition_blueprintId");

if (blueprintName != null)

{

     // Captura Reservation Policy da maquina componente do Blueprint

     var compositeClient = host.createCompositionClient();

     var compositeBlueprint = compositeClient.getCompositionCompositeBlueprintService();

     var blueprint = compositeBlueprint.getBlueprint(blueprintName);

     var components = blueprint.components; //HashMap - um array de vCACCAFEComponentDeclaration

     for each (var component in components)

     {

          var field = component.getComponentFieldValue("reservation_policy") // Objeto vCACCAFEComponentFieldValue

          if (field != null)

          {

               var fieldFacets = field.getFacets(); // Hashmap - um array de vCACCAFEConstantValue

               for each (var facet in fieldFacets)

               {

                    var value = facet.getValue(); // Objeto vCACCAFEEntityReference

                    var reservationPType = value.getClassId(); // Tipo da Reservation Policy

                    var reservationPLabel = value.getLabel(); // Nome da Reservation Policy

               }

          }

     }

     // Captura ID da Reservation Policy

     var reservationClient = host.createReservationClient(); //Objeto vCACCAFEReservationClient

     var reservationPolicyService = reservationClient.getReservationReservationPolicyService(); //Objeto vCACCAFEReservationReservationPolicyService

     var reservationPolicyRoot = reservationPolicyService.getAllReservationPolicies(); //Objeto vCACCAFEPagedResources

     var reservationPolicies = reservationPolicyRoot.getContent(); // Array de vCACCAFEReservationPolicy

     for each (reservationPolicy in reservationPolicies)

     {

          if (reservationPolicy.name == reservationPLabel && reservationPolicy.reservationPolicyTypeId == reservationPType)

          {

          var reservationPId = reservationPolicy.id;

          break;

          }

     }

     // Captura Reservations que possuam esta Reservation Policy

     var reservationService = reservationClient.getReservationReservationService(); //Objeto vCACCAFEReservationReservationService

     var reservationRoot = reservationService.getAllReservations(); //Objeto vCACCAFEPagedResources

     var reservations = reservationRoot.getContent(); //java.util.Collection - Um array de vCACCAFEReservation

     var blueprintReservations = new Array;

     for each (var reservation in reservations)

     {

          if (reservation.reservationPolicyId == reservationPId)

          {

               blueprintReservations.push(reservation);

          }

     }

     // Captura as redes existentes nas Reservations selecionadas

     var reservationNetworks = new Properties();

     for each (blueprintReservation in blueprintReservations)

     {

          var reservationData = blueprintReservation.extensionData //Objeto vCACCAFELiteralMap

          // var reservationData = reservation.extensionData;

          var networks = reservationData.get("reservationNetworks");

          for each(var network in networks.getValue())

          {

               //var path = network.getValue().get("networkPath");

               var networkId = network.getValue().get("networkPath").getValue().getId();

               var networkName = network.getValue().get("networkPath").getValue().getLabel();

               reservationNetworks.put(networkId, networkName);

          }

     }

}

return reservationNetworks;

If anyone could give some light into it, I´d be very thankful.

And then you notice that the return variable is declared within the main IF and because of that it doesn´t exist when the action is run during request submission.

Declared the return variable at the beggining and now it´s working just fine.

Here´s the complete code:

// Captura do blueprint, tenant e instancia do vRA na qual a requisicao esta sendo feita

var tenant = System.getContext().getParameter("__asd_tenantRef");

var host = vCACCAFEHostManager.getDefaultHostForTenant(tenant , true);

var blueprintName = System.getContext().getParameter("__asd_composition_blueprintId");

var reservationNetworks = new Properties();

if (blueprintName != null)

{

// Captura Reservation Policy da maquina componente do Blueprint

var compositeClient = host.createCompositionClient();

var compositeBlueprint = compositeClient.getCompositionCompositeBlueprintService();

var blueprint = compositeBlueprint.getBlueprint(blueprintName);

var components = blueprint.components; //HashMap - um array de vCACCAFEComponentDeclaration

for each (var component in components)

{

var field = component.getComponentFieldValue("reservation_policy") // Objeto vCACCAFEComponentFieldValue

if (field != null)

{

var fieldFacets = field.getFacets(); // Hashmap - um array de vCACCAFEConstantValue

for each (var facet in fieldFacets)

{

var value = facet.getValue(); // Objeto vCACCAFEEntityReference

var reservationPType = value.getClassId(); // Tipo da Reservation Policy

var reservationPLabel = value.getLabel(); // Nome da Reservation Policy

}

}

}

// Captura ID da Reservation Policy

var reservationClient = host.createReservationClient(); //Objeto vCACCAFEReservationClient

var reservationPolicyService = reservationClient.getReservationReservationPolicyService(); //Objeto vCACCAFEReservationReservationPolicyService

var reservationPolicyRoot = reservationPolicyService.getAllReservationPolicies(); //Objeto vCACCAFEPagedResources

var reservationPolicies = reservationPolicyRoot.getContent(); // Array de vCACCAFEReservationPolicy

for each (reservationPolicy in reservationPolicies)

{

if (reservationPolicy.name == reservationPLabel && reservationPolicy.reservationPolicyTypeId == reservationPType)

{

var reservationPId = reservationPolicy.id;

break;

}

}

// Captura Reservations que possuam esta Reservation Policy

var reservationService = reservationClient.getReservationReservationService(); //Objeto vCACCAFEReservationReservationService

var reservationRoot = reservationService.getAllReservations(); //Objeto vCACCAFEPagedResources

var reservations = reservationRoot.getContent(); //java.util.Collection - Um array de vCACCAFEReservation

var blueprintReservations = new Array;

for each (var reservation in reservations)

{

if (reservation.reservationPolicyId == reservationPId)

{

blueprintReservations.push(reservation);

}

}

// Captura as redes existentes nas Reservations selecionadas

for each (blueprintReservation in blueprintReservations)

{

var reservationData = blueprintReservation.extensionData //Objeto vCACCAFELiteralMap

// var reservationData = reservation.extensionData;

var networks = reservationData.get("reservationNetworks");

for each(var network in networks.getValue())

{

//var path = network.getValue().get("networkPath");

var networkId = network.getValue().get("networkPath").getValue().getId();

System.log(networkId);

var networkName = network.getValue().get("networkPath").getValue().getLabel();

System.log(networkName);

reservationNetworks.put(networkId, networkName);

}

}

}

return reservationNetworks;
