Hello VMware community,
I was curious if y'all knew of any examples of subscription conditions that use properties.
Our team would like to use a workflow subscription with event topic 'Machine provisioning' and use properties from a property group to make a decision to run a vRO workflow or ignore it. The user selects the value of property 'ouString' and the workflow creates a computer account in a specific OU.
I've used the following to try and reference that property: (These are fields that are accessible from the 'Conditions' tab of a workflow subscription)
Data > Machine > Properties > Name
EQUALS ouString
EQUALS "ouString" (which is entered as "ouString")
CONTAINS ouString
CONTAINS "ouString" (which is entered as "ouString")
Data > Machine > Properties > Value
EQUALS foo
EQUALS "foo" (which is entered as "foo")
CONTAINS foo
CONTAINS "foo" (which is entered as "foo")
We cannot run this on every VM and those attempts to reference that 'ouString' property name or any of the possible values has not triggered the specified workflow. The 7.0 documentation doesn't cover how to use properties as conditions and all the blogs posts I have looked through are using 'Run for all events' and ignores the glaring problem associated with running 20+ workflows for each VM when each state occurs.
