Ifthetaskissuccessful,theAPIreturnsanXMLfilethatreturnstheidentifierofthenewfixedcost.
Modify a Fixed Cost Value
UsingtheModifyFixedCostAPI,youcanupdatefixedcostid,valueanddurationforafixedcost.
 TheURLforthisAPIis<HTTP_request_method> <Base_URL>/fixedCost/{fixedCostId}/values.
Youcandefineacalllikethis:
PUT https://123.123.123.123/vCenter-CB/api/fixedCost/{fixedCostId}/values
 TheAPItakesarequestXMLfileinwhichyoucanspecifythefixedcostnameanditsdescription.
The followingisasamplerequestXML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Request xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vcenter/chargeback/1.0.1">
<FixedCosts>
<FixedCost id="1">

ThefollowingisasampleprogramthatcallstheAddanFixedCostAPI.Makesurethatyou:
 UpdatetheLogin-request.xmlwithrequiredvaluesandrunthelogin.javasamplecode.
 RuntheAddFixedCostAPIandreadthefixedCostIdfromtheresponse.
 UpdatethefixedCostId,thecostanddurationidinmodifyFixedCostValues-request.xmlfile.
