Simple client for calling System Center Orchestrator runbooks in python.

• Installation

• Import & Initialize pySCOrchestrator

• Execute Runbook

  • Using Parameter IDs

  • Using Parameter Names

  • Response

• Get Runbooks

• Get Runbook Parameters

• Get Job Status

• Get Job Instance ID

• Get Instance Parameters

Installation

Using pip:

$ pip install pySCOrchestrator

Import & Initialize pySCOrchestrator

import pySCOrchestrator

orchestratorEndpoint = "http://hostname.local:81/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc"
username = "domain\\username"
password = "password"

o = pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator(orchestratorEndpoint, username, password)

Execute Runbook

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.Execute(runbookID, runbookParameters, dictionary=False)

You can send the parameters to orchestrator using the parameter ID or the parameter name.

Using Parameter IDs

Example of sending using the parameter ID:

runbookID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

runbookParameters = {
    'f90e6468-31d3-4aa8-9d50-f8bf5bf689e2' : 'value',
    'edb8d27d-38ad-4d29-a255-30d8360a3852' : 'value',
    'b61abea1-4001-42fd-99b5-470acc5c1386' : 'value',
    '32725695-0b25-47e0-abbe-b28e22eca8ad' : 'value',
}

o.Execute(runbookID, runbookParameters)

Using Parameter Names

To send a request using the parameter names indead of the IDs, add the dictionary=True flag. The parameter names must match the names for each parameter in orchestrator.

Example:

runbookID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

runbookParameters = {
    'HDD'  : '50gb',
    'CPU'  : '2',
    'RAM'  : '2048',
    'OS'   : 'Server2012',
}

o.Execute(runbookID, runbookParameters, dictionary=True)

Response

Successfully initiating a runbook execution will return a 201 status code, along with the orchestrator job ID. The job ID returned can be used to check the status of the job using the GetJobStatus function.

Example Response:

{
'status' : 201,
    'result': {
        'id'               : '3c87fd6c-69f5-41c9-bd55-ec2aa6ec7c64',
        'status'           : 'pending',
        'CreationTime'     : '2014-04-02T12:11:05.617',
        'LastModifiedTime' : '2014-04-02T12:19:08.963',
        }
}

Get Runbooks

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetRunbooks()
pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetRunbookID(runbookName)

Returns a list of runbooks and their IDs from orchestrator.

Example:

o.GetRunbooks()

{
'status' : 200,
'result' : {
    'Runbook_1' : 'e5944fe0-b600-45d2-a872-0c256594e394'
    'Runbook_2' : 'fd6d6a4b-1e57-40a3-930a-f4eb56394d3f'
    'Runbook_3' : '31451e20-5829-4323-9661-603ff826c852'
    }
}

It is also possible to return a single runbook ID by it’s name:

o.GetRunbookID('Runbook_1')

'e5944fe0-b600-45d2-a872-0c256594e394'

Get Runbook Parameters

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetParameters(runbookID)

This function returns the parameter names and paramater IDs required by the runbook specified.

Example:

runbookID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

o.GetParameters(runbookID)

Example Response:

{
'status' : 200,
  'result': {
    'HDD' : 'f90e6468-31d3-4aa8-9d50-f8bf5bf689e2',
    'CPU' : 'edb8d27d-38ad-4d29-a255-30d8360a3852',
    'RAM' : 'b61abea1-4001-42fd-99b5-470acc5c1386',
    'OS'  : '32725695-0b25-47e0-abbe-b28e22eca8ad',
    }
}

Get Job Status

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetJobStatus(jobID)

This function allows you to check the status of an orchestrator job/task.

Example:

jobID = '285f017e-bc97-4b03-a999-64e08065769e'

o.GetParameters(jobID)

Example Response:

{
'status' : 200,
    'result': {
        'id'               : '3c87fd6c-69f5-41c9-bd55-ec2aa6ec7c64',
        'status'           : 'Complete',

        'LastModifiedTime' : '2014-04-02T12:19:08.963',
        }
}

Get Job Instance ID

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetJobInstance(jobID)

Returns the job instance ID. This ID can then be used in other functions such as GetInstanceParameters.

Example:

jobID = '3c87fd6c-69f5-41c9-bd55-ec2aa6ec7c64'

o.GetJobInstance(jobID)

'f4ac97ed-495b-44ae-b547-64611b0d8075'

Get Instance Parameters

pySCOrchestrator.orchestrator.GetInstanceParameters(instanceID)

Returns the instance parameters from orchestrator. This function can be used to get data returned from orchestrator.

Example:

instanceID = 'f4ac97ed-495b-44ae-b547-64611b0d8075'

o.GetInstanceParameters(instanceID)

{
'status' : 200,
'result' : {
    'HDD'   : '50gb',
    'CPU'   : '2',
    'RAM'   : '2048',
    'OS'    : 'Server2012',
    'VM_ID' : 'edb8d27d-38ad-4d29-a255-30d8360a3852',
    'VM_IP' : '127.0.0.1',
    }
