Simulation Web Services

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.

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.

Allowed 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 Fi
