Basic Question about getting Business Group name from the payload

[YestoVI]

How can I get the business group name from in vRO for a virtual machine? I looked at the payload, but that did not contain the business group name. Would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

It's known as subTenant and you can get it if you've exposed system level custom properties for the given phase of the EBS.

It is not a part of the payload, but you can press it down on the blueprint/deployment/vm in a property when you make your request. Use the tenant/sub tenant in the form. Notice there is a bug in the BG group name, thou, but you can easily look it up via the group ID.

var vRAHost = Server.findAllForType("vCAC:vCACHost")[0];

entity = vCACEntityManager.readModelEntitiesBySystemQuery(vRAHost.id, "ManagementModelEntities.svc", "HostReservations", "ProvisioningGroup/GroupID eq guid'" + groupID + "'");

for each (groupEntities in entity)

{

     groupLabel = groupEntities.getProperty("HostReservationName");

     return groupLabel;

}
