Hold

To hold (or suspend) a process, specify the process ID in the MdrElementID property.

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

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

Include a request header:

Content-Type=application/xml

For example:

<HoldRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:type="p1:HoldRequest"
             xmlns:p1="http://ns.ca.com/2011/09/pam-ops" >
  <EntityID>
    <MdrProduct/>
    <MdrProdInstance/>
    <MdrElementID>TestIRFPrompt_140</MdrElementID>
  </EntityID>
</HoldRequest>

The request returns the following XML:

<usm-core:EntityID xmlns:usm-core="http://ns.ca.com/2009/07/usm-core"
                   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                   xsi:type="usm-core:EntityID">
  <usm-core:MdrProduct/>
  <usm-core:MdrProdInstance/>
  <usm-core:MdrElementID>TestIRFPrompt_140</usm-core:MdrElementID>
</usm-core:EntityID>
