Hello Community.
Has anyone integrated ManageIQ with VMWare vRO as a provider ?

I’m just working on that (we already have quite complex deployment script prepared in vRO and don’t want to re-write everything from the scratch).
You can easily run Orchestrator workflow via REST API from ManageIQ method (using rest-client).
You can easily access ManageIQ via REST API from the Orchestrator workflow.
Feel free to ask or/and share any interesting findings or tips regarding this topic.
Could you please provide examples of the REST calls please.
.
Both vRO to ManageIQ and ManageIQ to vRO please.
Thank You In Advance.
The code is not too elegent, but hopefully will help you to begin somewhere.
Run vRO workflow with one variable and wait for result:
require 'rest-client'
require 'json'
username = $evm.object['username']
password = $evm.object.decrypt('password')
wfid = $evm.object['wfid']
variable = $evm.object['variable']
vro = $evm.object['vro']
xmlstring = '<execution-context xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vco"> <parameters> <parameter name="input" type="string"> <string>' + variable + '</string> </parameter> </parameters> </execution-context>'
url = 'https://' + vro + ':8281/vco/api'
query = '/workflows/' + wfid + '/executions/'
rest_return = RestClient::Request.execute(
method: :post,
url: url + query,
:user => username,
:password => password,
:payload => xmlstring,
:headers => {:content_type => 'application/xml'},
verify_ssl: false)
url2 = rest_return.headers[:location]
state = 'running'
while (state == 'running')
rest_return2 = RestClient::Request.execute(
method: :get,
url: url2,
:user => username,
:password => password,
verify_ssl: false)
state = JSON.parse(rest_return2)['state']
end
result = JSON.parse(rest_return2)['output-parameters'][0]['value']['string']['value']
To access ManageIQ, use “Invoke a dynamic REST operation” wf with baseUrl http://…/api, proper apiMethod, user, password, queryString, …
