It is a real plug-in. You can see it in the video when they select objects such as service profiles. Project Orion can be used by the vCO REST plug-in but then it is less integrated than this is.

As long as MSFT is providing an API to do it, yes you can.

For the US you can get instructor led training with contacting your VMware sales rep and pointing him to this: http://mylearn1.vmware.com/mgrreg/courses.cfm?ui=www_edu&a=one&id_subject=24347

Likely because you did not set any VMs as input.

The funny thing is that Mike says he installed and configured it on Windows because he is lazy. I did it on Linux because I am lazy as well and it was downloaded, installed, configured, ready to use just with "sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server" which is a lot less work then doing it on windows.

The "For more information check the vCenter Orchestrator Plug-ins Documentation Center" link seems to work. The "nine" is not a link it is just bold and underlined to put forward VMware amazing plug-in delivery cadence.

Thanks for the feedback. I will provide it to the vCAT project leaders and document owners. As for XML I do not use DOM anymore in vCO I now always use E4C. There is another article http://blogs.vmware.com/orchestrator/2011/09/this-month-started-with-showing-a-great-example-of-vco-providing-process-automation-using-active-directory-email-and-webvie.html where there are example for extracting the relevant information.

Glad you are reading it, I wrote this part Check this http://www.rabbitmq.com/faq.html#exchange-client-or-server it is odd it is not created by vCD but it cost nothing to create it on vCO side first.

XPath is supported (but not in the legacy XML plug-in) Here is a smal example http://www.vcoportal.de/examples/xml-handling-the-e4x-way

It should not have anything to do with the version of vCO. Please paste the content of your "Set current VM" Christophe.

Sorry about that. I had two mistakes in the code that eventually led to a successful test in my environment. I have corrected these. The first one is that I used the wrong Server method and the second one was a typo on the runningUserName property. Please tell me if that fixes your issue.

Yes. Thanks for pointing this out. This should now be corrected.

Good catch Please use getAllVirtualMachinesByFolder instead of getVirtualMachineByFolder (this one is filtering depending on authorization). Thanks for letting us know. I will correct the article.

In a custom web view, certainly (I am not a web view master so do not ask me how). With the default presentation (what you get when you start the workflow from the web operator) the workflow execution list is opened in a popup window with displaying name, state, start and end time, owner and Business State. The Business state can be use to set important information.

At the moment there are no alpha since no beta / release are planned on MacOS. While I would personally love to see it released as a technical preview I am not the person who can make this call. I can only relay the information that some customers / partners would like to test it. I will do that shortly but please do not hold your breath.

Thanks ! For the MacOS client the answer is unfortunately nowhere at the moment : this is an internal build. Releasing it, even as a technical preview would require some work on the vCO installer. Are there many vCO developers using MacOS out there ?

OGNL can be replaced with javascript actions returning the expected result.
