Need snapshot names of clustered Data ONTAP volumes in WFA3.1 for use in user input fields

Question

Hi, I want the operator of workflows choose from a list of snapshot of volumes (e. g. to use it as a base for a cloning operation). For this I need the snapshots of cDOT volumes in a table (e. g. cm_storage.snapshot) in order to use sql statements to select them. I am aware of the discussions in thread1 or in thread2. But the solution in thread2 cannot be imported in WFA3.1 (see my comments in both threads). Meanwhile the creator of the solution in thread2 has left NetApp and may not update it. NetApp itself seems not to be able or willing to solve this issue (either in  filling this table in WFA by default or porting the solution of thread2 to WFA3.1). I would create this table, datasource and OCUM/cluster connection by myself, if someone can tell me the steps how to do this. Is there somebody who can describe/share what to do to get such a table filled with snapshot names from clustered DataONTAP volumes? Thanks in advance. Walter

Hello, I like to know your requirement first.I can see, there is a table namely 'Snapshot' under cm_storage_smsv from which you can pick the snapshots. So I think, below query will suffice the same: SELECT    Snapshot.name AS 'name',    Snapshot.volume AS 'volume',    Snapshot.vserver AS 'vserver',    Snapshot.cluster AS 'cluster',    Snapshot.snapmirror_label AS 'snapmirror_label',    Snapshot.timestamp AS 'timestamp'FROM    cm_storage_smsv.Snapshot SnapshotWHERE          Snapshot.volume = '${VolumeName}'          AND Snapshot.cluster = '${ClusterIP}'          AND Snapshot.vserver = '${VServerName}' Let me know if I misunderstood something.Thanks                --Gaurab
