Overview of this book

VMware vRealize Orchestrator is a powerful automation tool designed for system administrators and IT operations staff who are planning to streamline their tasks and are waiting to integrate the functions with third-party operations software. This book is an update to VMware vRealize Orchestrator Cookbook and is blend of numerous recipes on vRealize Orchestrator 7. This book starts with installing and configuring vRealize Orchestrator. We will demonstrate how to upgrade from previous versions to vRealize Orchestrator 7. You will be taught all about orchestrator plugins and how to use and develop various plugins that have been enhanced in Orchestrator 7. Throughout this book, you will explore the new features of Orchestrator 7, such as the introduction of the control center, along with its uses. You will also come to understand visual programming, how to integrate base plugins into workflows, and how to automate VMware. You will also get to know how to troubleshoot vRealize Orchestrator. By the end of this book, you will be able to get the most out of your Orchestrator installation, and will be able to develop complex workflows and create your own highly integrated automations of vRealize environments.

Version control

In this recipe, we will look at how to use the Orchestrator version control and use it to control your software development. Version control is part of almost all elements.

Getting ready

A working Orchestrator is required, and you will need the rights to create new workflows and run them. We will work with the Orchestrator Client.

We need an existing workflow that we can play around with. In this recipe, we will use the 00.00 BasicWorkflow workflow of the example package. The finished example is the 04.02 VersionControl example workflow.

How to do it...

We will use a workflow for this example; however, it works for other elements too:

  1. Make a duplicate of the 00.00 BasicWorkflow workflow.
  2. Click on General and have a look at the current version (see the following screenshot).
  3. Open the workflow for editing by right-clicking on it and selecting Edit.
  4. Drag a system log element from the log section into the schema.
  5. Bind the text in-parameter to an existing string variable.
  6. Click on General...
