Help
1

Hi All,
I have Enterprise Orchestrator version 2018.2.3. I am facing an issue with the Start Job API. Below mentioned Json data works fine i am able to start a job.
{
“startInfo”: {
“ReleaseKey”: “xxxxxxx”,
“RobotIds”: [1],
“NoOfRobots”: 0,
“Strategy”: “Specific”

	       	}

}

but when i try to send input parameters /arguments. I used the below json data and it does not work. i get the error message " {“message”:“startJobParameters is null!”,“errorCode”:0,“resourceIds”:null} "

{
“startInfo”: {
“ReleaseKey”: “xxxxxx”,
“RobotIds”: [1],
“NoOfRobots”: 0,
“Strategy”: “Specific”,
“InputArguments”: “{"age":33}”
}
}

Please also let me know how do i read this Input Arguments from the new job which is triggered. Do we have any global variables which gets these values?
Please assist
Thanks
Vinod

Hi Vinod,

I think “age” should be an input argument in your Main.xaml file for this to work. You can manually try to start the job from orchestrator and you should be able to see all the available input arguments in the ‘Parameters’ tab.

@vinodcrimson

Check it once below thing

  1. Body Parameter given correctly read from text file
  2. Body Format should be Application/json
    3.Post Method
    4.Release key given correctly
  3. header value : Authorization - Bearer +auth value+ & Content-Type is Application/json

otherwise share your xaml we will check and let you know

@vinodcrimson,

As you have noted, I think this option is not available with 2018.2.3
