Modify a Fixed Cost Value
UsingtheModifyFixedCostAPI,youcanupdatetheID,value,anddurationforafixedcost.
To modify a fixed cost value
1 CalltheAPIbyusingthefollowingsyntax.
<HTTP_request_method> <Base_URL>/fixedCost/{fixedCostId}/values
Forexample,youcandefineacalllikethis:
PUT https://123.123.123.123/vCenter-CB/api/fixedCost/{fixedCostId}/values
2IntherequestXML,specifyanameandadescriptionforthefixedcost.Thefollowingisanexample
requestXML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Request>
<FixedCosts>
<FixedCost id="1">
<Values>
<Value>
<Cost>3.1415</Cost>
<Duration id="1"/>
</Value>
</Values>
</FixedCost>
</FixedCosts>
</Request>
TheresponseXMLindicateswhetherthefixedcostvaluewassuccessfullymodified.
ThefollowingisanexampleprogramthatcallstheAPI.
