In our plugin we have encountered a situation where when we have a large configuration of our objects it takes a long time to process resulting in hitting a time out situation.  I couldn't find anything in the forum that addresses this (although the search tools are rather poor and it seems they can only be searched for a word that occurs in the subject of the forum entries).


In the virgo log file I see:

The data service execution timed out java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Tasks didn't complete within the allotted timeout: 120000 MILLISECONDS.  The tasks that timed out are:


Further down in the virgo log I also see this related exception/error:

com.vmware.vise.data.query.DataServiceException: The data service timed out because a back-end task took more than 120 seconds. See the vsphere-client-virgo.log for more details.

 


In the case were we encounter this situation, we are determining the related information between datastores and our objects.  


We are doing a $.getJSON() call in our client side javascript to get the data with a URL parameter along the lines of + +"/vsphere-client/vcenterWebClient-ui/rest/data/properties/urn:vmomi:Datastore:datastore-14:bcfd5614-c4f9-4e5c-9d15-ac754e33c2f8?properties=System.fullInfo"


What can I do about this situation where we have to do a lot of processing/data gathering that exceeds this 120ms timeout?  


 


 

Hi all,

There's a blog post which answers one of the most common questions: “Which SDK version should I use?”.

Here is a link to the entire blog post: https://blogs.vmware.com/code/2017/05/25/vsphere-html-client-sdk-version-plug-ins-compatibility/.

Thanks,

Ina

The SDK documentation section on storing persistent data for a plugin only covers a single method, which is to store it in a local file that is specific to the VCenter instance and UI variant (Flex/HTML) that is being used at the time.

This method gives a very inconsistent user experience - changing between the two clients, or doing a failover in a VCSA HA environment effectively resets the plugin to its initial state. I expect that using linked mode would suffer similar issues, but haven't tested that as yet.

The SDK documentation just says "you must use a separate back end server or database" for complex/large data sets. However, to do that, the plugin needs to store the URL/credentials of that back-end server to be able to connect to it - so that suffers exactly the same problem as above.

Is there a way for a plugin to store a small amount of private information in the VCenter object database itself - at least enough to connect to a back-end server? I can see a workaround using tags/custom attributes, but this seems extremely ugly, and would be visible to the user (so prone to editing/corruption/information disclosure).

What is the correct return object to render a status column in a VMWare-controlled global list view? I'd like to be able to show a status icon next to the status text for my objects.

I believe that this should be possible using the <columnRenderer>status</columnRenderer> property in the list definition, but I can't figure out what my back-end service should return. I've tried returning both a "com.vmware.vim25.ManagedEntityStatus" object directly and a String (using the toString() method on a "com.vmware.vim25.ManagedEntityStatus" object), but it always shows up as "Unknown" with a question-mark icon.

Is this the right type at all? Is there any documentation for showing non-text columns in global list views?

Hi,

When I run the vsphere-wssdk-provider sample code, it reports the following errors:

I have investigated this issue, and someone said that jdk version invokes that error.

That guy used jdk 1.6.22 and it worked. I'm sure whether it was right. Could someone help me figure out this issue.

Thanks a  lot

Hi,

We are using vCenter 6.5 and registering our plugin that adds privileges to the privilege list. On unregistering the plugin, we still see those privileges remain on the vcenter, is there any way to completely remove privileges that remain on vCenter. This is more noticible if the privileges are updated in a newer versions, the old privileges remain though they are not going to be used. I have looked through logs, and files on vCenter after SSh'ing into it, but no luck. Is there any way to clean this up?

Thanks,

Hi, 

I'm looking at this section of vsphere 6.5 document : http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-65/index.jsp#com.vmware.wcsdk.pg.doc/GUID-88363ADC-4F14-4A99-937E-634015751B56.html

Wondering if we can directly  deploy 3rd party service layer(java, nodejs, etc) on a vcenter appliance. Or it has to be on a external server?  

I like the new vsphere SDK provided highly extensive html UI and new service platform to interact with vcenter (as a external actor), but if its' possible to have our own service layer deployed right within vcenter/container, it would be saving a lot of network and boxing overhead.  Please let me know if it's doable, and if any, point me to the resource/guide that I can refer to. 

Thanks.

Hi all,

We published a blog article on VMware {code}: https://blogs.vmware.com/code/2017/01/17/osgi-specific-best-practices-developing-html-based-vsphere-client-plug/

which goal is to promote the OSGi specific Best Practices (they are part of the Best Practices guidelines we have documented for vSphere 6.5)

We strongly recommend that every HTML plug-in meets all Best Practices giving a high priority to the OSGi-Specific ones.

Stay tune for more helpful articles and news from HTML SDK team

Hi laurentsd

Plugin Registration Failure.

Issue: Registration of vSphere web client plugin with vCenter 6.5 Server failed to deploy with Error:

VcExtensionManager Downloading plugin package from https://198.18.3.218:8443/root/mypackage.zip (no proxy defined)

Note: the same registration process is working fine with vSphere 6.0 U2 for the said plugin.

vSphere Web Client Version: 6.5.0 Build 4240472

Steps Taken:

1. Register the plugin with vSphere vCenter server using extension manager API registerExtension()
2. Set the certificate thumbprint at the time of registration, the certificate is encrypted using SHA1 encryption.
3. The registration passed, and the plugin package is visible in the mob extension manager.
4. Re-login to vSphere web client, the package is not visible.
5. Virgo logs indicates that the download of the package failed with the error “Certificates does not conform to algorithm constraints”.

Please find the log snippet below:

Hi,

To configure virgo server with any vCenter did the following:

For windows copied the webclient.properties, ds, store,jks in vsphere-client/cfg as in the documentation of 6.5

for VCSA followed the fully automated part of the documentation and webclientproperties got genereated in vsphere-clent/cfg.

started the server by running startup.bat in html-clientsdk/vpshere-client/server/bin/startup.bat

Checked the logs -it has the error:

Hi,

My plugin is making rest requests to the remote server, the same server from where the plugin package was downloaded.

I have registered the plugin in my vCenter 6.5 via extension-registration.sh script form the html-client-sdk.

During http request from my java service i'm getting an error:

com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: HTTP transport error: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target.

How can I solve this problem ?

Hi,

using fling sdk and with the angular component file have the code 

this.gs.getWebPlatform().setGlobalRefreshHandler(this.refresh.bind(this), document);

When registred with VCSA 6.5 html client it says TypeError: this.gs.getWebPlatform(...).setGlobalRefreshHandler is not a function pointing to mainbundle.js

Browser - chrome and firefox.

Please help me on how to fix this. As per the documentation callback function needs to be passed as parameter so refresh is the callback function here.

Hi, 

I'm writing a DataProvider and would like it handle multiple types. The documentation says as follows:

Many thanks

My extension is making rest requst via https.

How can I know that ssl certificate of the backend server of my extension is installed on the vsphere client ?

If the certificate isn't installed what is the reason?

Hi,

I have several VM installed on VMware ESXi 6 and I have a nagios server on one of this VM. My problem is the that when I increase the disk space (20G --> 100G) of the VM where nagios is installed the new disk space is visible in VMware but for nagios there is still 20G in the disk.

I check with that command : df -h

I don't know if that is VMware issue but I create the discussion anyway.

Thank for your help.

Hello,

My actions are getting cut off from bottom. Please refer attached Image.

Thanks in advance,

How do you change the boot order on a VM using the 6.5 web client ?

I have been attempting to utilize the new default TLS settings in vCenter version 6.0U3 as outlined in the release notes:

VMware vCenter Server 6.0 Update 3 Release Notes

The goal is to permit customers to connect external devices for use with our web client plugin without enabling TLS 1.0 of course. Unfortunately, no external devices can be connected without first enabling 1.0 on the external device. To check the TLS settings, I downloaded the TLS reconfiguration tool, ran a scan and compared the results to a scan of a functional 6.5 vCenter that indeed permits exclusion of TLS 1.0 device connections. The only difference was 6.0 permitted 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 for the web client service, and was limited to 1.1 and 1.2 for vCenter 6.5. I used the reconfiguration tool successfully remove 1.0 and retried the connections, which again were denied unless I enabled 1.0 on the external device. I have attached a screenshot of the reconfiguration tool scan command. Thanks in advance for any hints. Matt A.

Hi, 

I'm having problems deploying a third-party JAR to virgo, and getting an "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" issue. I've searched the forums, and found advice to read the FAQ on third-party JARs. I've found it at the following url:

https://code.vmware.com/article-detail/-/asset_publisher/8n011DnrSCHt/content/vsphere-web-client-sdk-faq

However, if I go to the link for "How to solve most java.lang.ClassNotFoundException errors?", the link is broken :(

Could you please let me know how I can access this information, as it is critically important to me at the moment.

Many thanks

Hi,

In another thread (https://communities.vmware.com/thread/513303) the following advice is provided, and looks to be extremely helpful for me:

"If you use this 3rd party jar in only one of your bundles, you can try to package it within your jar. This way you won't need to deal with import packages."

Could you please advise how this is achieved please? I'm working on the service layer, and need to include the third-party JAR. I am having problems (NoClassDefFoundError) with the 3rd party classes not being available within the Virgo server, so believe this could be the simplest solution. (The project is fine in Eclipse, it is only when attempting to instantiate an object of the third party class that errors are occurring).

Many thanks
