Using the MOB Along With the API Reference

The following table provides a brief summary of the steps involved when you use the MOB and the
vSphere API Reference
together.
Datatype
How to Input Values for Methods
Primitive
Enter the value as plain text regardless of its data type (
int
,
string
,
boolean
). Do not use quotes or other markup.
Array
Use the name of the parameter as the name of the element, wrap the values in a series of opening and closing tags for each array element.
Complex
Obtain XML Schema format information from the
vSphere API Reference
for the type (from the
Show WSDL type definition
link).
Use the schema definition to construct the sequence of tags around the value (or values) you want to pass to the MOB.
