Execute Connector Operations

To run connector operations, send HTTP POST requests using the operation URL.

Note: Only the execute operations require POST requests. All other requests use GET.

For example, to start a process, send an HTTP POST request to the following URL:

http://<hostname>:7000/node/rest/CA:00074_CA:00074:01/_ops/Start 

Include a request header:

Content-Type=application/xml

Include a request body that contains a StartRequest operation that includes the following items:

• The process name in the MdrElementID element
• The parameters in the Arguments element

For example:

<StartRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="p1:StartRequest" xmlns:p1="http://ns.ca.com/2011/09/pam-ops" >
      <EntityID>
        <MdrElementID>/Tests/TestGetITActivityTemplate</MdrElementID>
      </EntityID>
      <Arguments>
        <Argument>
          <Name>arg1</Name>
          <Value>val1</Value>
        </Argument>
        <Argument>
          <Name>arg2</Name>
          <Value>val2</Value>
        </Argument>
        <Argument>
          <Name>arg3</Name>
          <Value>val3</Value>
        </Argument>
      </Arguments>
</StartRequest>
