I am trying to add a Restore VM option for vRA users to restore their own virtual machines using the Veeam vRO example workflows downloaded from github. I have set up the REST API host and credentials, the add VM to backup workflow is successful so I know the connection is good from vRO to Veeam.
When I try running the Restore VM workflow I can select the VM, but the workflow cannot pull the restore points from the Veeam server. The select restore point field is just a blank text box. The property is a predefined answer with a value of GetAction("com.veeam.backup","getVMRestorePoints").call( #vmObj , #restHost ). The com.veeam.backup is the correct workflow package, the getVMRestorePoints action looks ok to me (script below). The #vmObj element is working as I am able to pull a list of VM names, #restHost has the correct attributes for the Veeam server.
Is there another customisation required somewhere that I have missed?
