Start a Lab by Using LISA Invoke

You can use LISA Invoke to start a lab. The syntax is as follows:

/lisa-invoke/startLab?labKey=LAB:key 

The available lab keys are included in the response to the listRunnableLabs operation. For more information, see List the Available Labs.

The response is an XML document that includes a status message.

Example

The following URL makes a request to start a lab whose key is VCD:49.

http://localhost:1505/lisa-invoke/startLab?labKey=VCD:49 

The following response indicates that the lab was started.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

  <status>OK</status>
