Running the vSphere HTML SDK Sample

Use this procedure to run the vSphere HTML SDK sample.

Procedure

  1. Start or restart the application server from the command line
    On a MacOS system, run vsphere-ui/server/bin/startup.sh [-debug] in a shell window.
    The -debug option allows you to specify a debug port, if desired. The default, if no port is specified, is 8000.
    On a Windows system, run vsphere-ui/server/bin/startup.bat -debug in a shell window.
  2. Check that there are no errors in the console or in the logs.
  3. Log in to your local HTML Client at https://localhost:9443/ui/.
  4. Click the vSphere HTML SDK Sample entry in the Policies and profiles section to explore the sample functionality.

What to do next

If you need to modify the logging level, modify the file html-client-sdk/vsphere-ui/server/conf/serviceability.xml. The XML file contains instructions to modify the logging level.

To stop running samples in your local client, delete the sample folders from the vsphere-ui/plugin-packages directory and restart the server.
Note: Do not delete other plugin packages. Do not delete the entire plugin-packages directory.
