The vRA triggers the vRO workflow to call the ASM server for a new service deployment.
Workflow Output
The ASM vRO sample workflow may have an output parameter with a custom API object type. If the vRA needs to use the
information in the output parameter, it cannot be parsed easily in the vRA layer. Therefore, the workflow should be modified to
parse the parameter into primitive data type objects before running it (For example: Add a script action that takes the custom API
object and outputs string objects). In this way the output data can be easily used by vRA.
Upgrading the vRA XaaS Blueprint
To upgrade the vRA XaaS Blueprint along with the vRO and the ASM vRO plugin, complete the following tasks:
1. Put both vRO and vRA servers under maintenance. No deployments should be made during this period. Take note or snapshot
to save the non-interactive workflows’ configurations.
2. Uninstall the old plugin and configurations.
3. Upgrade the vRO server. Optionally, vRA server can be upgraded during this period.
4. After the upgrade, install the vRO plugin 2.0.
5. Modify the non-interactive workflows as needed in the new plugin installed.
6. Update the XaaS Blueprint in vRA to point to the new workflows.
