Time flies when you are having fun so it’s already almost time for VMworld EU in Barcelona. Sadly I will not be there so I will be missing all the fun over there. There is one new fling: Workspace ONE UEM Profile Migration Utility that somehow starts at version 1.5 so there must have been an internal version for VMware already and five have received updates: Horizon DaaS Migration Tool, True SSO Diagnostic Utility, Cross vCenter Workload Migration Utility, vRealize Operations REST Notifications Helper and the one and only vSphere HTML5 Web Client.

New

Workspace ONE UEM Profile Migration Utility

This tool helps to migrate WS One profiles between various environments.

The Workspace ONE UEM Profile Migration Utility aides in moving Profiles between Workspace ONE UEM Consoles. This can be very helpful to programmatically migrate complex Profiles from UAT to PROD environments. Note: Not all Profile payloads are supported within the AirWatch API.

All recommendations of the alert are added to the payload as a single string, separated with “

vSphere HTML5 Web Client

It’s already fully featured in vSphere 6.7 u1 but that doesn’t stop the VMware engineers from updating the fling as well.

Changelog

Fling 3.42 – Build 10321112

New Features

Dark theme mode for vSphere Client Go to User menu and click on Switch theme to switch over to Dark theme mode of vSphere Client

vCenter Authentication Proxy UI is added to vCenter -> Configure -> Authentication Proxy

System configuration displays the summary of vCenter (multiple vCenters in case of linked mode) and PSC node (in case of external PSC) and also show them as links. Clicking on these links will open the VAMI UI for these nodes.

Update content library item

Clone vApp to a vApp template in content library

New vApp from a vApp template in content library

Improvements

If there are multiple vCenter servers in vSphere Client connected using linked mode, then certain operations like Deploy OVF across different vCenters will result in a certificate warning asking users to open the vSphere Client for the different vCenter than the one you are using. This warning dialog is updated to give the URL of the vCenter server as a link (Refer this reddit post for reported issue)

Bug fixes

Performance fix for loading actions menu when fling appliance is pointed to a 6.5 vCenter with external PSC

Known Issues

Dark theme might not render well for certain areas of the client. One such known area is for any VMware or partner plugins which are already ported over to HTML5 client. Give us feedback using feedback tool if you notice any areas which does not render well in dark mode.
