My company create an IPAM solution, and one of our clients asked us to develop a vRO workflow to provision IPs through vRealize Automation. I'm searching online on how to set a development environment, and all the resources I saw state that you need a vRO installation to develop the plugin itself, it is not enough to have VSC with the vRealize Dev Tools installed. I tried searching for an SDK or just a small vRO installation to use for dev, but only thing I saw on the vmware website was the hands-on lab or the 60 days trial of vSphere, whose links no longer work at all.
Do I need to buy a vRealize Orchestrator license just to develop the plugin?
Thanks for the help
Yes, you have to procure the vRA license to develop the Workflow in vRO; or, you can reach out to vmware: if they agree to your team being a partner, then you will get NOT FOR SALE/Trial license for vRA.
You don't need vRealize Orchestrator license to develop a vRO plugin.
vRO plugin is not the same thing as vRO workflow.
vRO plugin:
vRO workflow:
What you mentioned can be done using vRealize Automation REST API.

I have to implement TeaLeaf analytics for our application so i am doing sample POc for android and iphone environment for hybrids application. Anyone please advice me how can i implement the TeaLeaf stuff in my POC.
Below that activity i did,
create sample app version project and add android/iphone environment
application-descriptor.xml i added IBM teaLeaf SDK
what else i have do? i was searching google and following ibm knowledge center also there is not much clarity for tutorial and how can i test in development environment.
below that link i referred :
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_6.3.0/com.ibm.worklight.integ.doc/integ/t_tealeaf_client.html
If I understand your question correctly, it seems like you're attempting to create a connection between IBM MobileFirst Platform 6.3.0 and IBM Tealeaf. I work on integrations of IBM Tealeaf On-Cloud with client e-commerce platforms and it seems like you might be dealing with IBM Tealeaf On-Premise.
That being said, my understanding of the process for the On-Cloud implementation is that there are a few libraries you need to make sure are being included on pages you'd like Tealeaf to observe:
Tealeaf.js (distributed by IBM)
Sizzle.js
JQuery, if the page uses it ... also note that if the site uses JQuery, you need to provision from IBM the JQuery flavor of Tealeaf.js instead of the W3C flavor.
Hammer.js
Pako.js (again this assumes the On-Cloud version of Tealeaf, as this is a library for compressing data a being sent to IBM cloud-service collectors. In the On-Premise version my understanding is that this data is written to a file that is saved to the local hardware.)
How the libraries are included is something you'd decide when working with the client's server and development team - every organization has their preferences. Generally though they'd be inserted on pages that need to be monitored and the Tealeaf.js config would be edited to specify the endpoint of the collector for the regional data center on which space was provisioned for the client (in the US, either in Dallas or Washington DC.)
As for the On-Premise implementation of Tealeaf, you can jump in to the documentation here: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS2MBL/tealeaf_product_family_welcome.html
So I am a n00b with the Petrel platform and Ocean SDK. I want to create a standalone application (not a plugin!) that consumes the Ocean SDK to interact with the Petrel projects. One way, I could think of was to create a plug-in that interacts with the app via IPC but is there any other approach that has absolutely no plugin in it.
Thanks
Great to see that you are interested in Petrel and Ocean. Developing standalone applications is not permitted under the Ocean Software Development Framework license agreement. All products developed using the framework must be hosted by Petrel, i.e., they must be plug-ins. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Ocean for Studio API is your solution.
You could develop stand-alone application if you have license to expose your data stored in Petrel Studio. Also, you could call petrel projects function and do something on them.
I am in a development team which have just about finished developing a system for a client which involves a MVC4 Web, a WCF service platform and a Windows Store App which communicates with the web that the service.
We are running Continuous Integration practices for the Web & Service solutions which include automated deployment to dev, test, acctest and production environments. Building, testing, configuring and deploying to production is one click and five minutes away.
The one huge pitfall that we've had in this project was the fact that we chose to develop the app as a Windows Store App without investigating deployment possibilities which do not involve publishing the application to Windows Store. This is a process called sideloading, and i will not go deep into the technical requirements which Microsoft impends to enable this.
Our client will be using the application on 20~ Surface Pro tablets, and we are investigating into an automated release/deploy process for the application. As of this moment, we are using OneDrive to manage build artifacts and let the customer IT admin download the artifact from there to manually install the app on all clients. In the future, however, it is very possible that the organization who ordered the system will deploy this worldwide and there will be a requirement to deploy the application to hundreds, if not thousands of clients.
We spent entire weeks investigating whether Windows Intune can be a good platform for automated deployment of the application. If an organization installs the Intune platform, it's clients get the Company Portal which is like a private Store, where we could upload the app and updates to it in the future. There was, however, one big minus with the Company Portal - it has NO update management for Store Apps. That is, releasing a new version of our application to the Company Portal does not work like releasing a patch or update of your app to the Windows Store - there's no notification that there is a new version, and the application does not update itself. It's basically a new application that needs to be downloaded and installed after the previous version has been uninstalled.
Has anyone developed Windows Store Line-Of-Business applications which you had to sideload to multiple clients, and if so - which solution did you choose for update/patch management?
I am experiencing the exact same problem. Intune is indeed limited and too complex for many scenarios at the same time. Another option to "deploy" LOB Windows Store apps is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj657971.aspx. This covers the well known powershell deployment which is not very practical.
However, I have found an early stage, unofficial POC project on codeplex which I am currently investigating. You might want to take look at this: https://bootybay.codeplex.com/
We are looking for an automated testing software for our web application. We need to come up with a solution or software that our non-it staffs could write test cases as well as the developers.
For example I've run through some of them such as: SmartBear, National Instrument and IBM. Most of these guys are MS Windows based or commercial Linux distros which remove them from our list since we are all Debian based.
Any recommendation or guideline would be much appreciated.
Ps. We don't have any budget limit!
You're going to have a hard time getting tooling for non-technical testers to build test cases if you limit yourselves to Debian OS for developing and running the tests on. There's no reason you couldn't have a few Windows system to manage your test suites from -- those would run against your web site just fine, regardless of what stack it's hosted on. That would open you up to the tools you mentioned (and Telerik's Test Studio, the tool I help promote).
Those Windows systems could easily be run via whatever virtualization host you prefer, so you wouldn't even need physical systems to deal with that. You could easily share the same source control repository as your devs, too, since nearly every decent SCM has Windows clients.
If you're unwilling to consider having a few Windows boxes around for your testing, then you'll need to have a look at getting all your testers proficient in APIs and frameworks like WebDriver and Robot Framework. The Pages gem from Jeff Morgan (#chzy) in Ruby would be another option, as would Adam Goucher's Saunter (in Python).
I start at a new client on Monday. They’re just beginning to do web development (ASP.NET) and I’m going to help them with setting up a proper development environment.
I don’t think I’ll have a say on what type of machines the developers will be using, so this is more of a backend scenario.
So far the main things I’ve come up with include:
Versioning control system (source control).
Bug Database
Doc Repo / Project Management / Tasks
(They are currently using Base Camp by 37 signals, which is a good sign to me.)*
Dev / QA / Staging / Build servers (web, db)
So far this is what I have come up with. I don’t know what budget they have right now, but in your ideal development environment, what else would you recommend that I propose?
Thanks!
You said you won't have input on the machines, but I'd put dual monitors pretty high on the list as far as productivity goes for web development or just computer use in general.
I think, there is no ultimate answer for this. Because each developer has their own opinion - what software they use for VCS, Bug Tracking, etc...
And here is my opinion :)
Ideal for Microsoft Technologies is TFS (Team Foundation Server), which has all the features you want.
And here my list in case you don't want TFS:
Version control system
SVN
Mercurial
GIT
Bug Database / Project Management / Tasks
JIRA
FogBugz
Developers environment
Dual screen
Powerful PC
Quality chair
Whiteboard
Free coffee
This is all very cheap if you compare it to their salary for six months
Development machine: Visual Studio 2008 + VisualSVN/TortoiseSVN + Resharper
Buildserver: Teamcity
LAN testing server: Webserver with build by buildserver + DB with daily copy of live
QA/Staging depends on the project size.
