Return Objects From UCS Director To My Web Site Using API

[Rami_13]

Hello,

I want to send many objects from UCS Director (Workflow or Custom Workflow Tasks) to my web Site ( Lang PHP).

I tested this request from Rest Client (ARC), but the returned result is ==> "serviceresult: 600" (this is the service request number).

I would like to retrieve the data on the same request, for exemple after invoking Worflow "Proviosnning VM Vmware", I want to recover the data ( like ip address, Vm Name, ...) so i can store in my database.

Thx,

Rami Khili

If I understand you correctly you want to retrieve the information per SR _ID.

Show a list of SRs:

http://10.52.249.103/app/api/rest?opName=userAPIGetServiceRequests&opData=

1. {

2. "Service_Request_ID": 115,

3. "Request_Type": "Create VM",

4. "Initiating_User": "demouser",

5. "Group": "DemoGroup",

6. "Catalog_Workflow_Name": "Provision VMware VM",

7. "Initiator_Comments": "",

8. "Request_Time": "Sep 10, 2014 09:39:49 UTC",

9. "Request_Status": "Failed",

10. "Rollback_Type": "",

11. "Catalog": "No"

12. },

Thank you, but when i execute this simple exepmle :

loadLibrary("JSON-JS-Module/JSON-JS-ModuleLibrary");

importPackage(com.cloupia.model.cIM);

importPackage(java.util);

importPackage(java.lang);

importPackage(com.cloupia.service.cIM.inframgr);

importPackage(com.cloupia.lib.util);

var test = "{'name':'1'}";

var resultObj = JSON2.parse(test);

logger.addInfo("result= "+resultObj );

output.return_a = resultObj;

I got this error:

{

"serviceResponse": null,

"serviceError": "REMOTE_SERVICE_EXCEPTION: The JsonDeserializer IntegerTypeAdapter failed to deserialized json object "return_test" given the type int",

"serviceName": "InfraMgr",

"opName": "userAPIGetServiceRequestDetails"

}

I want to retrieve resultObj.

Hi Gelbrich,

Thank you for your answer,

I followed the link, but I have no return ( jsonData ) from ucs director. !! he only returns SR in the "serviceResult"

{

"serviceResult": 685,

"serviceError": null,

"serviceName": "InfraMgr",

"opName": "userAPISubmitWorkflowServiceRequest"

}

what is the function in opname ? userAPIGetWorkflowServiceRequest, userAPISubmitWorkflowServiceRequest, ??

here is my code:

Code 1:

importPackage(com.cloupia.model.cIM);

importPackage(java.util);

importPackage(java.lang);

importPackage(com.cloupia.service.cIM.inframgr);

importPackage(com.cloupia.lib.util);

importPackage(com.cloupia.lib.util);

var jsonData = '{"pool":"test-http-pool","description":"My test virtual server","name":"test-http-virtual","mask":"255.255.255.255","profiles":[{"name":"http","kind":"ltm:virtual:profile"},{"name":"tcp","kind":"ltm:virtual:profile"}],"ipProtocol":"tcp","sourceAddressTranslation":{"type":"automap"},"kind":"tm:ltm:virtual:virtualstate","destination":"1.1.1.3:80"}';

var data = JSON.getJsonElement(jsonData,null);

Code 2 :

importPackage(java.util);

importPackage(com.cloupia.lib.util);

var map = new HashMap ();

map.put ("nom", "test-http-virtual");

var data = JSON.javaToJsonString (carte, map.getClass ());

I need to recover the variable jsonData

Thank you in advance

I just ran this…

https://172.16.50.51/app/api/rest?opName=userAPIGetServiceRequestWorkFlow&opData=

And the result was this:

{ "serviceResult":{"requestId":3330,"workflowCreated":1530201600207,"submittedTime":1530201600530,"cancelledTime":-1,"cancelledByUser":null,"adminStatus":1,"executionStatus":3,"futureStartTime":1530201600207,"entries":[{"stepId":"Initiated by admin","executionStatus":3,"statusMessage":null,"handlerId":4,"startedTime":-1,"completedTime":1530201603658,"validTill":-1,"startAfter":-1},{"stepId":"RESTfulwebServiceAccess","executionStatus":3,"statusMessage":"","handlerId":12,"startedTime":-1,"completedTime":1530201607831,"validTill":-1,"startAfter":-1},{"stepId":"Parse_Temp","executionStatus":3,"statusMessage":"","handlerId":12,"startedTime":-1,"completedTime":1530201610050,"validTill":-1,"startAfter":-1},{"stepId":"kelvin_to_fahrenheit","executionStatus":3,"statusMessage":"","handlerId":12,"startedTime":-1,"completedTime":1530201616094,"validTill":-1,"startAfter":-1},{"stepId":"Child workflow (GlobalVariables_UPDATE_put_API_Global_var)","executionStatus":3,"statusMessage":"Completed action","handlerId":12,"startedTime":-1,"completedTime":1530201642451,"validTill":-1,"startAfter":-1},{"stepId":"Complete","executionStatus":3,"statusMessage":"Completed successfully.","handlerId":13,"startedTime":-1,"completedTime":1530201642833,"validTill":-1,"startAfter":-1}]}, "serviceError":null, "serviceName":"InfraMgr", "opName":"userAPIGetServiceRequestWorkFlow" }

1) In your request you have invoked the workflow first then you have retrieved the workflow data ===> I need to invoke the workflow and retrieve the data at the same time

2) The data in serviceResult is information about the workflow and this is not the case ==> I need the output of the workflow in serviceResult

[Orf Gelbrich]

Invoking workflow and getting information on the running workflow would be two separate events.

Infact the checking for workflow status would probably be in a loop with a wait status (~20sec) to see the status of the workflow.

When evoking a workflow it will only return the SR_ID nothing more.

https://communities.cisco.com/docs/DOC-55973

The SR ID is returned and with that number you would have to make further API calls to see status.
