Hello Guys
In VRA 7.4 exist a XaaS Blueprint where RRHH send notifications to the employee. The process have approval policies before of send to users.
My question is who I can create a Dropdown with the mailing list? I search information but without results.
Thanks for your help.

We have integrated ITSM 4.0 version to SNOW Kingston.
When I run the Import Jobs, I see these errors:
“REST call error found inside VRASNImportCatalog.preImportCatalog: Method failed: (/catalog-service/api/catalogItems) with code: 401 - Invalid username/password combo”.
REST call error found inside VRASNImportCMDB.reconcileCMDB for pagination: Method failed: (/catalog-service/api/consumer/resources) with code: 401 - Invalid username/password combo
The authentication is successful as I could see the Catalog Category names appearing. However, I am unable to see the Catalog Items due to the above errors.
Please suggest if you have any workaround or solution.
Regards,
Sasidhar.
Hello Guys
In VRA 7.4 have blueprint where the user select cluster, vlan, storage and now need enter the hostname manually.
The problem that arises is that they have entered VM names that exist in vCenter and the process fails, so I need to know if there is a form or a workflow that allows me to validate if the hostname entered exists before sending the request. Example, if you enter as hostname vmtest01, validate that no vm with that name is created.
I appreciate your help to know if there is a way to validate the above.
Thank you

Hi ,
We create a custom property like below
VMware.Attribute1.Name & VMware.Attibute1.Value for custom annotation and attached it blueprint
after deployment it is not reflecting in vCenter Virtual Machine .
Hello, I have a question. I read a document in VMware page. Then I want to know : " What each component in vRA do when a user request a VM on web vRA". Example: when user click submit, what component do first ? components is model manager, DEM...
Điều gì khác biệt giữa vRO và vRA. Điều gì sẽ xảy ra nếu vRA không có vRO? Điều gì khác khi triển khai vRO bên ngoài và vRO nội bộ trong vRA?
Hey all, I'm trying to deploy a blueprint that requires some of the VMs to be deployed with the same IPs over and over so I'd like to put them on (what in vCD would have been) a vApp type network. I can't seem to find a similar construct in vRA where a virtual wire or port group gets deployed on demand for the specific blueprint. I may end up having to use some sort of isolation concept in vRA? Thoughts?
VM1 (Jump Host) - Public Network, vApp Network
VM2 - vApp Network
VM3 - vApp Network
VM4 - vApp Network
Hi,
I am working with vSphere integrated containers with vRA with the help of virtual container host, I have created a template for a multi-tier application (voting app), as per the app requirement, I have defined volumes as shown in the image:
After provisioning the application I am receiving the below error.
error:
Service https://xxxx:2376/v1.21/containers/create?name=db-mcm1189-50060072151 returned error 400 for POST. id 52781319; Reason: Bad request error from portlayer: vSphere Integrated Containers does not support mounting directories as a data volume.
Please help to resolve this issue or if we have any other way of achieving the same target.
Thanks in advance!!
Hello,
We installed vRA7.5 and have Kingston ServiceNow. I've installed the 4.0 plugin for Kingston and went through basic configuration and client registration. I can also login through ServiceNow to get to vRA with the necessary redirect. When we execute the scheduled import items vRealize-Automation-AuthGenerator , vRealize-Automation-ImportCatalogItems , vRealize-Automation-ImportServicesAsCategories, etc. the vRA plugin logs indicate a login failure - Invalid username/password combo. I have verified I'm able to curl a bearer token and access the api resources on the vRA server inclusive of requesting catalog and submitting requests. We are not using the default vphere.local tenant so maybe that has something to do with it? Also, the tenant we're attempting to access has active directory integrated for authentication\authorization. We have a couple of vsphere.local accounts that are also administrators in this tenant.
One that I'm not sure should or should not be populated with data is the x_vmw_vmware_vrasp.vrasn.api.Auth.Token property in System Properties. I have not been able to get any value listed here when executing the AuthGenerator import. I've verified the user configured in basic configuration has been added into the appropriate business group as well. Should the api.Auth.Token property have a bearer token updated by one of these import tasks?

Hi everyone
I'm using the Infoblox Plugin version 4.3 and vRA 7.3. Somehow the workflow "Create IPAM connection" doesnt like, if I enter the FQDN of the infoblox hostname. I always get the following error:
Error in (Workflow:DEBUG IPAM / Update Cache (item3)#3) An error has occurred while saving IPAM connection. Detail: Host name [server-01.domain.local] is invalid.

Before he throws the error, all checks agains the Infoblox provider are successful. As soon as I enter only the hostname it works. The function which generates the error is this one:
var attrTestConnection = connectionManager.saveConnection(attrInputConnection);
Anyone has a clue why?
Cheers Philippe
Good day.
Can someone help on the issue I'm facing with vRA-ServiceNow Integration?
I'm getting this error message when triggering a request from servicenow:

Hi Team,
How to change VM ownership by workflow.

How can i run the following command in Postgress Embedded DB in vRA appliance
I could sure use some advice on this everyone. Very frustrating trying to just install the IaaS component.
I am setting up a distributed installation going through a Citrix Netscaler VPX Load balancer.
I of course have 2 vcac appliance with it's virtual VIP: vcloud.pslab.internal
next is the IaaS server with a vip of: vcacweb.pslab.internal
Successfully configured the appliance but I am having very difficult time trying to install IaaS
Here is the list of preliminary steps prior to installing Website and Model Manager.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 installed
i. Remove Negotiate from the Enabled Providers list
ii. Add Negotiate back into the list, making sure it is the first provider in the list. (This is necessary due to a bug in IIS)
iii. Both Negotiate and NTLM providers should be enabled
i. Select Process Model, .Net Environment, Configuration APIs
Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service (MS DTC) enabled
Log on as a batch job right
Log on as a service right
Added DisableLoobBackChecking to the registry
added Disablestrictnamechecking to the registry
My domain account is in the Administrator group
Follower Kendricks blog and ran the pre auto script
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I incuded screenshots of the installation process.
After all the steps required, I can install IaaS. Very frustating guys, I tell ya. The installation fails at this point
every time

Thanks in advance everyone.
Does VRA 7.4 support using VM Templates in Content Libraries. My understanding is that the function is not supported in earlier versions.
