Hi All,

I keep getting a HTTP Error when i attempt to 'PUT' the schedule-rule xml with ESS 4.0.

Here is the error:

HTTP ERROR: 400 Bad Request
Failed to parse the request entity 'ScheduleRuleResource'

Failure details
Exception: NullPointerException
null

This is the xml and url im trying to send through. It works with ESS 3.0.

/ess/scheduleapi/v1/sections/8fce6aa5-0484-44df-a195-98b19a2b5276/schedule-rules

</schedule-rule>

I know there has been some changes to the API between 3.0 and 4.0 but i have been going through to documentation and cant really see a reason why the schedule should fail. Is there a bug with the API or some undocumented change that needs to be made...?

Thanks for the assist,
Mark

Mark,


Did you copy and paste this code? If so, there is a typo:


<recurring>ture</recurring>


This may not be the cause of the issue but let's start with the simple part.


Best wishes,
Tom

Mark,

I think you need to add a product group to this. I found this in the API docs specific to changes in 4.0:

In order to create an active schedule, product group is a required field in 4.0, while it was optional in 3.0. This means that, when creating a new active schedule using API call, the product group name needs to be enclosed in 'product-group' xml tags and sent in the xml request.


Have you tried that yet? Hope this helps.

Hi Tom,

I saw that line of text in the API Doc for 4.0 but thought i wouldn't need it since i am trying to load the schedule as a "Draft".

I'll play around with the 'product-group' tags and see how i go..

Cheers,
Mark

Hi All,

I finally got this to work. It was the <product-group> tags as suggested by Tom. It isn't documented very well but you need to include the <name></name> tags and it is required even when submitting a schedule in "Draft" form.

Here is what i did:


<schedule-rule>
<room>
<id>970c742e-e9fb-4f78-93a3-7bc2a11f8dca</id>
</room>
<title>Test</title>
<status>draft</status>
<start-date>2011-08-01</start-date>
<end-date>2011-11-04</end-date>
<start-time>10:00</start-time>
<duration-seconds>300</duration-seconds>
<recurring>true</recurring>
<days-of-week>
<monday>true</monday>
</days-of-week>
<product-group>
<name>Display/Video - All Formats - Medium Quality</name>
</product-group>

Thanks for the help Tom :-)
