Requesting XaaS Blueprint using REST API

[rdaka]

I am requesting an XaaS blueprint using REST API from postman. Follwing are the calls I am making.

Requesting XaaS BP -> POST https://$vRA/catalog-service/api/consumer/entitledCatalogItems/{catalogItemId}/requests

Checking status of the request -> GET https://$vRA/catalog-service/api/consumer/requests/{requestId}

The XaaS blueprint I am requesting executes a vRO workflow which returns some output variables.

My request is completing successfully but I am not able view the output when I check the status of the request. Also I do not see any separate call to check the output. Is there a way to see the XaaS BP request output using REST call.

Thanks in advance.

hi, rdaka thanks for asking, But I have a question for you that why aren't you using REST Api's of vRO. Please find the below links these would be very helpful for completing your objective

vRO REST API: querying workflows by categoryID

https://www.jonathanmedd.net/2016/08/obtaining-vro-workflow-state-and-result-with-powervro.html

these two links follow two different approaches but the core isthe same as both of them are leveraging vRO api's

[rdaka]

Due to security concerns, we do not want applications to directly connect to vRO and execute workflows.

If we cannot get the output parameters from vRA calls, I think we may have to fallback to using vRO REST API.

Hi rdaka,

We started out with the same approach and I am now having exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution or did you decide to go with vRO REST API?
