Hey Guys - I’m beating my head against the wall on this workflow I’ve been working on for a week and wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I’m simply trying to figure out how to take the input (VC:VirtualMachine) from one element within the workflow and convert it to a string (hostNameOrIP) for use in the next element in the same workflow.
Here’s a bit of context:
The overall workflow has the Copy File to Guest workflow followed by Run an SSH Command workflow in it. The Copy File to Guest uses an input parameter as VC:VirtualMachine; however, I want to carry that VM name to the next portion of the workflow but the Run SSH Command wants the format as a string. It seems to stupidly simple but I’m wracking my brain on this. Attached is the logical layout of the workflow - I'm wondering if I need a scriptable task between the two elements/nested workflows that does the conversion or is there a way to have the first nested workflow output the name as a string and then use an output for an input??
