Perform a Day 2 Action: Change Lease
You can use the REST API catalog service to change a lease. For actions that require user input, you may
need to edit the template prior to submiing the request.
This command leverages the links for the change lease action from the command used in the “Syntax for
Navigating to the Children of a Deployed Resource,” on page 92 example.
