Technical Preview of the Command Line Interface for VMware vCenter Orchestrator 7.0.0 and above

[#1]

Below is a list of the bug fixes in the CLI:

     1.  Fixed script evaluation (available since build 3774330)

          The issue is easily recognizable when someone log in the CLI and try to execute a script snippet.

          The error in the GUI was: Cannot connect to server. Do you want to quit?

          The error in the server.log was:

Error creating bean with name 'server' defined in class path resource [com/vmware/o11n/plugin/vcocli/pluginConfig.xml]: Invocation of init method failed;           nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: SSLContext is not initialized.

Bellow there is attached the vmoapp file which must be installed on the vCO Server + windows and linux clients containing the GUI CLI.

Yes!  So glad to see this is going to be a supported feature of vRO!  I was worried it might go away.

Great tool. Thanks for updating it with v7 support!

I've installed the latest version on the vco that is integrated into my vra but it seems I cannot connect from my pc with the windows client.

On the vra/vco appliance I see that the 8265 port used by the plugin in listening only on localhost.

There's any configuration file around to change this?

netstat -an |more |grep 8265

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8265          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

Does the plug in gets the backed code, something like ONXY ?

This isn't working for me. Does this work with vRO 7.6? I'm getting the following error in the VRO server.log file:

"cannot deserialize instance of java.util.arraylist out of start_object token"

On the client side I see:
