Of course (sigh), my solution comes with two caveats:
– first of all, file size limit for uploads from the desktop to the Orchestrator appliance is 2Mb. Yes, Mb.
– And you cannot invoke this VRO workflow as a Resource Action from VRA, because there is no field type “mime attachment” in VRA yet.

Best regards

Very cool. Thank you for sharing!

Hello Nick, it turned out that was my fault… again. 🙁
Now it’s working, I modified the workflow this way:

Input PARAMETERS:
localFile (MimeAttachment) – let the user choose the file inside his PC
vroFileName (string) – let the user choose the file name on VRO
Input ATTRIBUTES:
vroPath (string) – taken from a Configuration Item on the Orchestrator
vroFile (MimeAttachment)

Scriptable Action:

var vroFile = localFile;
vroFile.write(vroPath,vroFileName);

Could you use winscp or something else to move the file from your desktop to the orchestrator server?

Thanks to you we’re now able to upload files (even binary ones) from VRO to guest VM.
The next step will be… transferring a (binary, maybe quite large) file *from* my desktop *to* VRO appliance.
Created a simple workflow taking an input parameter “localFile” (type string), with a “scriptable task” built like this

System.log(“localFile: ” + localFile);
var mimeAttachment = new MimeAttachment(localFile);
System.log(mimeAttachment.mimeType);
mimeAttachment.write(“”, “mybeautifulfile.iso”);

The workflow fails with these log entries:

[2016-10-03 16:16:08.031] [I] localFile: h:\iso\MARIADB-GALERA.ISO
[2016-10-03 16:16:08.041] [I] application/octet-stream
[2016-10-03 16:16:08.046] [E] Permission denied on directory ‘/var/lib/vco/app-server/bin’

I’d rather avoid giving rwx permissions on /var/lib/vco/app-server/bin directory, so I created /var/lib/vco/app-server/bin/uploads directory, gave it rwx permissions, added it to js-io-rights.conf, restarted both VRO services and modified the script this way:

If the first parameter of the mimeAttachment.write function is “something else” (I tried with “uploads”, “uploads/”, “/uploads”, “/uploads/”) then my workflow fails with

[2016-10-03 17:13:00.791] [I] localFile: h:\iso\MARIADB-GALERA.ISO
[2016-10-03 17:13:00.831] [I] application/octet-stream
[2016-10-03 17:13:00.836] [E] Error in (Workflow:Copy of copyFileToGuest / Scriptable task (item1)#4) Wrapped java.lang.NullPointerException

Given that the API explorer for mimeattachment.write is quite cryptic (at least for me), what am I doing wrong?
Of course I tried to reference the previously created /vcofiles directory (that has the correct permissions and references in js-io-rights.conf) but I keep getting NullPointerException.

Thanks in advance
Best regards
A confused italian
