Displaying a Schema Definition for a Reservation
You can use the vRealize Automation REST API to display a schema definition for any supported
reservation type, including a vSphere, Amazon EC2, or vCloud reservation.
Display a Schema Definition for a vSphere Reservation
You can use the REST API reservation service to display a schema definition for a specific
vRealize Automation reservation type, for example a vSphere reservation.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to vRealize Automation as a fabric group administrator.
n
Verify that the host name and fully qualified domain name of the vRealize Automation instance are
available.
n
If you are not using the API Explorer, verify that you have a valid HTTP bearer token that matches
your login credentials. See Chapter 2 REST API Authentication.
n
Obtain the schema class ID of the reservation type to create. See Display a List of Supported
Reservation Types.
Procedure
u
Display a schema definition for a specific vRealize Automation vSphere reservation type.
curl --insecure -H "Accept:application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer $token"
https://$host/reservation-service/api/data-service/schema/$schemaclassid/default
The schema definition in this example includes 9 extension fields that are supported for the vSphere
type reservation.
