Property Toolkit

• New in version 2018.3.1 for vRealize Automation 7.5: 
  • Native support for Naming, IPAM and DNS integrations for blueprints with OVF/OVA components via the SovLabs Property Toolkit module
• Ability to assign a property group from a property definition in order to drive a set of (dynamic) properties from a single request field (also via custom forms)
• Ability to mass-update properties by adding, updating or deleting it across multiple vRealize Automation entities at once (blueprints, blueprint machine components, compute resources, reservations, etc.)
• Report on and manage vRealize Automation property usage across all vRealize Automation entities for the following types:
  • SovLabs Module Properties, SovLabs Module Property Groups, Custom Properties, Property Dictionary, Property Groups, SovLabs Dynamic Property Groups
• Define one or more vRealize Automation custom properties that represent Dynamic Property Sets
  • Each property value represents a Dynamic Property Set
  • Property Set capabilities
  • JSON-formatted or comma-separated list
  • Multiple vRealize Automation custom properties can be defined in a Dynamic Property Set
  • Ability to specify attributes for each property including name, value, hidden, encrypted, readonly, and runtime
  • Customize attributes of each property using the SovLabs Template Engine
• Delivers dozens to thousands of automation scenarios with minimal overhead via dynamic template configurations and vRealize Automation property injection, avoiding Blueprint sprawl
• SovLabs Dynamic Property Groups allow for the following scenarios:
  • Utilize SovLabs Template Engine to create logic-driven property names and values within standard vRealize Automation property groups
  • Assign Dynamic Property Groups to any vRealize Automation entity that supports vRealize Automation custom properties (standard vRealize Automation property groups can only be applied to blueprints)
    • E.g. assign multiple vRealize Automation Entities (e.g. compute resources, business groups, reservations, etc)
  • Ability to assign a property group from a property definition in order to drive a set of (dynamic) properties from a single request field (also via custom forms)
  • Other new Property Toolkit features in 2018.2.7:
    • Ability to mass-update properties by adding, updating or deleting it across multiple vRealize Automation entities at once (blueprints, blueprint machine components, compute resources, reservations, etc.)
