Are you attempting to setup a vCO/vRO workflow to call WFA? Have you run the "Get WFA Workflow Inputs" against the WFA workflow in order to find the needed inputs?

Also, go to http://www.mccloudoncloud.com/2014/03/26/software-defined-storage-with-netapp-and-vmware-part-3-create-workflow-integration-with-vco-and-wfa/ for a detailed step by step guide for setting up a vCO workflow to call WFA.

When executing a WFA workflow from vRO/vCO using the "vCO Package for WFA Integration" the output of the "NetApp WFA Workflow execution" task will include a parameter named "returnWFAParameters". This is a Properties object (meaning it is a series of key->value pairs) which contain any returned values from WFA.

To access them, you can use a script object to access individual properties. For example:

// if you know the name of the WFA return parameter
System.debug("Returned value " + returnWFAParameters.get("someProperty") + " for parameter someProperty");

// if you want to enumerate all of the returned values
for (var key in returnWFAParameters.keys) {
  System.debug("Returned parameter " + key + " equals " + returnWFAParameters.get(key));
}

Hope this helps.
