Syntax for Constructing a JSON File to Approve a Machine Request
You can specify a JSON file in your vRealize Automation REST API command line input. For
example, when you enter a command to approve a machine request, you can include the name of a
JSON file that contains all the parameters required to approve the request and complete the work
item.
n
Syntax for Approving a Submitted Machine Request
PUT /api/workitems/{id} approves a submitted work item request to complete the request. To
construct the approval command, you add work item and work item form details to a JSON file, and
call that JSON file from the command line. Use a template to correctly format the JSON file content.
n
Syntax for Updating Price Information
POST /api/blueprints/{id}/costs/upfront of the composition service, updates and displays
price information for a deployment. The price of a deployment is based on which blueprint you
request plus details of the specific request. For example, if the blueprint allows for a range of CPU,
memory, or storage values, the price depends on the value requested.
