The absolute path of the temporary directory that is created.

Operation Errors:
InvalidArgument - if parentPath is not a directory. The value of Error.getData() will contain all the properties defined in the FileErrorDetails providing additional information about the failure.
InvalidArgument - if parentPath is too long. The value of Error.getData() will contain all the properties defined in the FileErrorDetails providing additional information about the failure.
NotAllowedInCurrentState - if the virtual machine is not running.
NotFound - if the virtual machine is not found.
NotFound - if parentPath is Set and does not exist. The value of Error.getData() will contain all the properties defined in the FileErrorDetails providing additional information about the failure.
ResourceBusy - if the virtual machine is busy.
ServiceUnavailable - if the VMware Tools is not running.
Unauthenticated - if the credentials object was not valid.
Unauthorized - if parentPath cannot be accessed.
Unauthorized - if a file cannot be created because the guest authentication will not allow the operation.
Unsupported - if the operation is not supported by the VMware Tools in the guest operating system.
Unsupported - if the operation is disabled by the VMware Tools in the guest operating system.
Unauthorized - if you do not have all of the privileges described as follows:

• The resource VirtualMachine referenced by the parameter vm requires VirtualMachine.GuestOperations.Modify.

Specified by:

createTemporary in interface Directories

Parameters:

vm - Virtual Machine to perform the operation on. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: VirtualMachine.

credentials - The guest authentication data.

prefix - The prefix to be given to the new temporary directory.

suffix - The suffix to be given to the new temporary directory.

parentPath - The complete path to the directory in which to create the new directory. Directory If null a guest-specific default will be used.

asyncCallback - Receives the status (progress, result or error) of the operation invocation.

Description copied from interface: Directories

Creates a temporary directory.

Creates a new unique temporary directory for the user to use as needed. The guest operating system may clean up the directory after a guest specific amount of time if parentPath is not set, or the user can remove the directory when no longer needed.

The new directory name will be created in a guest-specific format using prefix, a guest generated string and suffix in parentPath.

. This method was added in vSphere API 7.0.2.0.
