Delete Report Schedule
Currently,theRescheduleReportAPIupdatesonlythescheduleinformationandnottheentitytocostmodel
mapping.So,youneedtodeletethereportscheduleandcreateanewoneifyouwanttoadd,modify,ordelete
anyentitytocostmodelmappingsifanynewcustomerisgetting
added.
To delete a report schedule
1 CalltheDeleteScheduleAPIbyusingthefollowingURLinyourprogram.
DELETE <API base URL>/reportSchedule/{scheduleId}
Forexample,
DELETE https://123.123.123.123/vCenter-CB/api/reportSchedule/5
TheresponseXMLindicatesthatthedeleteoperationissuccessful.
