I'm working on building Veeam as a Service. One thing we would like to do is display a list of vCenter VMs and Folders the business group creating backups can select to add to a backup job when its initially created. My thought was to use the VC:VirtualMachine object type in a tree view and set a data binding for the vCenter folder that matches the value of a custom property of their Business Group. The problem i'm running into is that I don't believe I get any vRA information in vRO about the user pre-execution so i can not do any filtering in the data binding. I would like to use something like __asd_subtenantRef to get the Buisiness Group ID then fetch a custom property that i can perform a vCenter lookup to display the folder that matches the property value and the VMs within the container. Has anyone come up with something clever to work around this issue?
I have gotten around this by creating a Custom Resource in vRA for an object. Perhaps i should do this again a provision a vCenter folder object or something that they can act on...
