How to Set Queue Transaction Status to inProgress using API calls

Help Documentation
1

I want to change the queue transaction item status to InProgress using Python API calls.

I have tried multiple ways to do it but not getting expected result.

I have tried OData/UiPathOData.Svc.SetTransactionResult,
But this will set the status to Successful or Failed if the transaction status is already InProgress.

Also tried OData/UiPathOData.Svc.StartTransaction,
But this will add the transaction item and sets the status to InProgress. In real working scenario this won’t help as this will add item and immediately start the transaction.

My requirement is after getting the new transaction item from queue, Need an API call to change the status to InProgress.

in start transaction if you give specificcontent as null it would pick the new item from queue

The image shows a section of a document with the description explaining the behavior of the "SpecificContent" attribute, detailing the conditions for adding an item to a queue and transitioning it to an "InProgress" state. (Captioned by AI)

@Anil_G,

I have tried this way but problem with this approach is It will create another transaction item with status InProgress having Specific Content data as null and Transaction item with New status remains in the Queue.

@Vinodraj_N

i beleive you have given empty specificcontent instead of null

try like below


{
  "transactionData": {
    "Name": "ABC",
    "SpecificContent": null
  }
}

cheers

I tried giving value as null for Specific content.

{
“transactionData”:{
“Name”: “PythonQueue2”,
“SpecificContent”: null
}
}

This is giving 204 status code.
But I have one New transaction in the specified queue.

Tried this way as well providing the Robotidentifier, but no luck.

Let me know if it works for you and if any other ways can we set status to InProgress.

Thanks in advance.
