Hi Zoli,
I hit the same issue for a customer. The solution i chose was not to use PERL and instead rewrite the commands to acquire the datasource and wait for datasource acquisition via the REST API using PowerShell. Here is the command code i used:
acquire_wfa_datasource:
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$False, HelpMessage="The Protocol name")]
[ValidateSet("https","http")]
[String]$Protocol="https",
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True, HelpMessage="The WFA Server hostname, FQDN or IP Address")]
[String]$WfaServer,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True, HelpMessage="The WFA Datasource name")]
[String]$DataSourceName
)
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#'Set the certificate policy and TLS version.
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add-Type @"
using System.Net;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class TrustAllCertsPolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
public bool CheckValidationResult(
ServicePoint srvPoint, X509Certificate certificate,
WebRequest request, int certificateProblem) {
return true;
}
}
"@
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Tls12'
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#'Acquire the WFA datasource
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$credentials = Get-WFACredentials $WfaServer
[String]$uri = "$Protocol`://$WfaServer/rest/data_sources/$DataSourceName/jobs"
Try{
[xml]$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method "POST" -ContentType "Application/JSON" -Credential $credentials
Get-WFALogger -Info -Message "Acquired Datasource ""$DataSourceName"" using URI ""$uri"""
}Catch{
Write-Warning -Message $("Failed acquiring Datasource ""$DataSourceName"" using URI ""$uri"". Error " + $_.Exception.Message)
}
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#'Enumerate the VMWare session ID from the response and add it as a return paramater..
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[String]$jobId = $result.acquisitionJob.jobId
If(-Not([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($jobId))){
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name "data_source_acquisition_job_id" -Value $jobId -AddAsReturnParameter $True
Get-WFALogger -Info -Message "Added WFA datasource acquisition Job ID ""$jobId"" as a return paramater"
}Else{

}
#'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
