Property Description
requestedBy Specifies the ID of the user who actually submitted the request
organization Subtenant and/or tenant owner of this request.
requestorEntitlementId Specified the value of the requestorEntitlement setting.
preApprovalId Specifies the ID of the preApproval setting.
postApprovalId Specifies the ID of the approval generated for the post-provisioning workflow step.
dateCreated Specifies the date when this request was sent to the catalog.
lastUpdated Specifies the date when this request was last updated.
dateSubmitted Specifies the date when this request was first submitted.
dateApproved Specifies the date when this request was approved.
dateCompleted Specifies the date when this request was completed.
quote Contains a quote made by the provider defining the estimated cost(s) associated with the
request and/or any resources provisioned as a result of the request.
requestCompletion Contains additional request completion information.
requestData Contains a map of the provider-specific field-value pairs collected for this request.
retriesRemaning Specifies the number of attempts remaining to move this request from its current state to the
next state in the request workflow.
Some state transitions require calls to external services. These calls may fail due to transient
errors such as momentary network errors. In these cases, the catalog will retry the call a
number of times before failing.
This property defines the number of retries remaining for the current state transition. When it
reaches 0, the catalog will stop retrying and mark the request as failed. This property is reset to
the default number of retries for every new operation that is triggered.
requestedItemName Specifies the item name.
requestedItemDescription Specifies the item description.
Example: curl Command
The following example command submits a vCloud Air machine request, where
C:/Temp/requestMachine.json is the file name and location of the JSON file that contains the
necessary information for processing the request.
curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer $token”
https://$host/catalog-service/api/consumer/requests --verbose --data @C:/Temp/requestMachine.json
Example: JSON Output with Request and Response Headers
Display the request and response headers with the output. Reference the following example to submit a
vCloud Air machine request by using JSON inline text that contains the necessary information, rather
than by using a JSON file that contains the necessary information.
