Overview

Universal Controller supports the following RESTful-based web services for Simulation operations, which are listed alphabetically on this page.

Formatting specifications for each web service, including details about parameter requirements, are provided.

Create/Update a Simulation

	Description
URI	http://host_name/uc/resources/simulation
HTTP Method	Post/PUT
Description	Create Simulation.
Example URI	http://localhost:8080/uc/resources/simulation
Authentication	HTTP Basic
Produces Content-Type	application/xml, application/json
Consumes Content-Type	application/xml, application/json
Example Request	See Create/Update a Simulation: Example Request.
Simulation Properties	See Simulation Properties and Simulation Output Properties, below.
Example Responses	Status 200 Successfully created the simulation with id {uuid}. Status 400 Error message. Status 403 Operation prohibited due to security constraints. Status 404 A simulation with taskname “{taskname}” does not exist. A simulation with taskid "{uuid}" does not exist. Status 500 Unexpected request failure. See log(s) for more details.

Simulation Properties

Property	UI Field Name	Description	Specifications	Required
`task`	Task	Name of the task.		Y
`retainSysIds`	n/a	Specification for whether or not the Create a Simulation web service will persist the sysId property. If retainSysIds="true" and sysId is included in the request/response, sysId will be persisted to the database. If retainSysIds="false" and sysId is included in the request/response, sysId will be ignored; it will be autogenerated by the Controller. Note In XML web services, retainSysIds is specified as an attribute in the <simulation> element.	Valid values: true/false (default is true).	N
`workflow`	Workflow	Name of the workflow.		N
vertexId	Vertex	Vertex ID of the task added to the workflow.	Defaults to ANY (-1) if not specified	N
`status`	Status	Projected simulation status.	Valid values: Success (200) Failed (140)	N
`exitCode`	Exit Code	Exit code to return.	Defaults to 0(zero) if not specified.	N
`variables`	Simulation Variables	Specifies variables that should be added for simulation purposes, including any built-in monitor variables starting with "ops_trigger_". The Simulation Variables are for adding variables that the simulated instance would have normally produced, therefore, are only available after the instance is already Queued or Running.	List of variables: `<variables> <variable> <name>env1</name> <value>test1</value> </variable> <variable> <name>env2</name> <value>test2</value> </variable> </variables>`	N
`publishStatus`	Publish Status	Specifies if Status events should be published to task monitor instances.	Defaults to false	N
`publishLateStart`	Publish Late Start	Specifies if Late Start events should be published to task monitor instances.	Defaults to false	N
`publishLateFinish`	Publish Late Finish	Specifies if Late Finish events should be published to task monitor instances.	Defaults to false	N
`publishEarlyFinish`	Publish Early Finish	Specifies if Early Finish events should be published to task monitor instances.	Defaults to false	N
`abortActions`	Execute Abort Actions	Specifies if Abort Actions should be executed for the simulated instance.	Defaults to false	N
`emailNotificationActions`	Execute Email Notification Actions	Specifies if Email Notification Actions should be executed for the simulated instance.	Defaults to false	N
`variableActions`	Execute Set Variable Actions	Specifies if Set Variable Actions should be executed for the simulated instance.	Defaults to false	N
`snmpNotificationActions`	Execute SNMP Notification Actions	Specifies if SNMP Notification Actions should be executed for the simulated instance.	Defaults to false	N
`systemOperationActions`	Execute System Operation Actions	Specifies if System Operation Actions should be executed for the simulated instance.	Defaults to false	N
