SubmitStartRequestForm

To submit a start request form, use the parameters defined in the QueryStartRequestForms response.

For example, send an HTTP POST request to:

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

Include a request header:

Content-Type=application/xml

For example:

<SubmitStartRequestFormRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

                               xsi:type="p1:SubmitStartRequestFormRequest"

                               xmlns:p1="http://ns.ca.com/2011/09/pam-ops" >

  <Name>SRF</Name>

  <Path>/TestSRF</Path>

  <Arguments>

    <Argument>
      <Name>Var_0</Name>
      <Value>val0</Value>

    </Argument>

    <Argument>
      <Name>Var_1</Name>
      <Value>true</Value>

    </Argument>

    <Argument>
      <Name>Var_2</Name>
      <Value>val2</Value>

    </Argument>

  </Arguments>

  <Options>

    <StartDate>startDate</StartDate>

    <StartTime>startTime</StartTime>

  </Options>

</SubmitStartRequestFormRequest>

Note:

Use the following format for StartDate and StartTime:

• Start Date: yyyy-MM-dd
• StartTime: HH:mm (24-hour format)

As the following example shows, the response from SubmitStartRequestForm contains the start request identifier (shown in bold in the example):

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

                                        xsi:type="pam-ops:SubmitStartRequestFormResponse">
