How to use a Transient RESTHost in Orchestrator

by Simon Sparks · 17 January 2026

To use this function add it to the class library file named vCenterServerService.ts

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/SimonSparksUK/Orchestrator

Filename: vCenterServerService.ts

Function: RESTRequestExecute

privateRESTRequestExecute(strMethod:string,strFQDN:string,strUri:string,strUserName:string,strPassword:string,objContentJson:any)

letarrRESTAuthenticationParams:string[]= ['Shared Session',strUsername,strPassword];

letobjRESTAuthentication:RESTAuthentication=RESTAuthenticationManager.createAuthentication('Basic',arrRESTAuthenticationParams);


letobjRESTHost:RESTHost=RESTHostManager.createHost("TransientHost");
objRESTHost=RESTHostManager.createTransientHostFrom(objRESTHost);
objRESTHost.url="https://"+strFQDN;

letobjRESTRequest:RESTRequest=objRESTHost.createRequest(strMethod,strUri,objContentJson);
objRESTRequest.contentType="application/json";

letobjRESTResponse:RESTResponse=objRESTRequest.execute();

if (objRESTResponse.statusCode===200)
{
letobjProperties:Properties=objRESTResponse.getAllHeaders();

letarrKey:string[]=objProperties.keys;

arrKey.forEach((strKey:string):void=>{
System.log(`REST Response Header${strKey}:${objProperties.get(strKey)}`);

letarrHeaderValues:string[]=objRESTResponse.getHeaderValues(strKey);

System.log(`REST Response Header${strKey}:${JSON.stringify(arrHeaderValues,null,4)}`);
});

// If you know the schema of the return then define a type or interface and replace "any".

System.log("REST Response Content Length:"+objRESTResponse.contentLength);

if (objRESTResponse.contentLength>0)
{
letobjRESTResponseBody:any=JSON.parse(objRESTResponse.contentAsString);

// Process the Json
}
}
else
{
System.log("Something went wrong...");
}
