Resource Action on Cloud.vSphere.Machine

[DexG83]

Hello Community,

I built a Resource Action that acts on Cloud.vSphere.Machine in an existing deplyoment.

The Orchestrator Workflow in that Resource Action should do two things with a REST Call on vRA:

1. delete the virtual machine from deployment 
2. update the deployment to (re)create the virtual machine

Doing this results in an Error on the Step "delete virtual machine" with:

Content as string: {"message":"Another conflicting request is already in progress.","statusCode":409,"errorCode":20009}

I think this is because the running Resource Action is not finished at this moment, so I cannot start a second one with my Orchestrator REST Call, isn't it?

Is there any way to achieve that goal?

thanks for any idea,

Dex

We used an async workflow that waits for the previous request to finish.

Hey xian,

thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for.

In the meanwhile, I found a blog post that describes the solution very well. Maybe this is also handy for the community.
