vSphere HTML5 Web Client

Fling 3.41 - Build 9687895

New Features

Code capture: record interaction performed in the current session against the vCenter API, and generate an equivalent script.
- To start recording, click "Start recording" on the "Code Capture" page, or the record button in the header.
- Subsequent operations done in this session will be recorded. To stop recording, click the Stop button, and the recorded operations will be generated as a script. PowerCLI is the only supported language for the moment.
- To disable code capture for all users, append the line "codecapture.disabled=true" to /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/vsphere-client/webclient.properties on the fling appliance and restart the vSphere Client server from FAMI UI

Known Issues

If you have registered the fling appliance to a vCenter which is in an enhanced linked mode configuration with an external PSC and is on version 6.5, there is a known issue around the slow performance of dialogs via action menu. Refer this bug for the workaround - #268. We are working on fixing this.
