There are library workflows to do so to vCenter VMs and vCloud Director vApps.
On vCAC < 6.1 the following code from the workflow runner workflow included in the vCAC plug-in will get you the VMs / vApps. For 6.1 the ID type was changed for vCenter VM if I recall well. There is a patch or hotfix toupdate the vCAC plug-in workflow runner. Then you can check the scripting.
if (vCACVm.vmUniqueID != null) { // vmUniqueID may be null (i.e at BuildingMachine state)
if (vCACVm.vmUniqueID.indexOf("vcloud") > -1) {
System.log("Got vCloud Director VM ID");
var vdcHosts = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vcac").getEnabledHosts() ;
for each (var vcdHost in vdcHosts) {
var vCloudVApp = vcdHost.getEntityById(VclFinderType.VAPP, vCACVm.vmUniqueID);
if (vCloudVApp != null) {
break;
}
}
}
else {
System.log("Trying to resolve a vCenter VM");
var sdkConnections = VcPlugin.allSdkConnections;
System.log(sdkConnections.length + " sdk Connections found...");
for each (var sdkConnection in sdkConnections) {
try {
vCenterVm = sdkConnection.searchIndex.findByUuid(null, vCACVm.vmUniqueID, true, false);
} catch(e) {System.log("Error for SDK connection " + sdkConnection.name + " : " + e);}
if (vCenterVm != null) {
System.log("Resolved vCenter VM " + vCenterVm.name);
break;
}
}
}
}
