I would like to find the catalog request for a given request id. This is what I have so far:
//var cafeRequests = vCACCAFECatalogConsumerRequestService.getRequests()
if ( vcacCafeHost == null ){ var vcacCafeHosts = Server.findAllForType("vCACCAFE:VCACHost"); if ( vcacCafeHosts == null ) { throw( "vcacCafeHosts is null." ) } else { if ( Array.isArray( vcacCafeHosts ) ) { } else { throw( "ERROR: vcacHosts is not an array." ) } } if ( vcacCafeHosts.length == 1 ){ var cafeHost = vcacCafeHosts[ 0 ] var vraInstance = cafeHost.url.split( "/" )[2] } else { throw "ERROR: Did not find exactly one vCACCAFE:VCACHost." }
} else { var cafeHost = vcacCafeHost var vraInstance = cafeHost.url.split( "/" )[2]
}
System.log( "vraInstance = " + vraInstance )
var vcacCafeServiceName = vCACCAFEServicesEnum.CATALOG_PROVIDER_SERVICE
System.log( "vcacCafeServiceName = " + vcacCafeServiceName )
var client = cafeHost.createRestClient( vcacCafeServiceName );
System.log( "client = " + client + ", object type = " + System.getObjectType( client ) + ", object class name = " + System.getObjectClassName( client ) )
var clientUrl = client.getUrl()
System.log( "clientUrl = " + clientUrl )
var resourceUrl = "consumer/requests/" + requestId
System.log( "resourceUrl = " + resourceUrl )
try{
var allCatalogProviderServiceResponse = client.get( resourceUrl );
} catch (err) { System.error( "ERROR: client.get( " + resourceUrl + " ). err = " + err ) System.log( "Object.keys( err ) = " + Object.keys( err ) )
}
if ( allCatalogProviderServiceResponse == null || allCatalogProviderServiceResponse || undefined ){
throw "allCatalogProviderServiceResponse is null or undefined."
}
var CatalogProviderServiceData = allCatalogProviderServiceResponse.getBodyAsJson();
System.log( "CatalogProviderServiceData = " + CatalogProviderServiceData + ", object type = " + System.getObjectType( CatalogProviderServiceData ) + ", object class name = " + System.getObjectClassName( CatalogProviderServiceData ) )
//System.log( "CatalogProviderServiceData.metadata = " + CatalogProviderServiceData.metadata + ", object type = " + System.getObjectType( CatalogProviderServiceData.metadata ) + ", object class name = " + System.getObjectClassName( CatalogProviderServiceData.metadata ) )
var catalogProviderServiceDataMetadata = CatalogProviderServiceData.metadata
var catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys = Object.keys( catalogProviderServiceDataMetadata )
System.log( "catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys = " + catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys + ", object type = " + System.getObjectType( catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys ) + ", object class name = " + System.getObjectClassName( catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys ) )
for( var catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKey in catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys ) {
System.log( "catalogProviderServiceDataMetadata[ " + catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys[ catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKey ] + " ] = " + catalogProviderServiceDataMetadata[ catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKeys[ catalogProviderServiceDataMetadataKey ] ] )
}
the result is

I have also tried using Postman (version 7.0.5) (https://{{vra-fqdn}}/catalog-service/api/consumer/requests ) and I get "HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized" using an account that I know has access to the same vRA tenant. I know that the authentication is good as I have a sibling request (HTTPS://{{vra-fqdn}}:/vco/api/inventory/System/Actions/com.td.platformhosting.utils/) that does work and both inherit authorization from the same parent folder in Postman.
Unfortunately, I find REST very confusing. What I have found so far (https://code.vmware.com/apis/175/vra-catalog , https://grantorchard.com/vcac/extensibility/learning-vra-api-part-3-consumer-api-requesting-catalog-item/ ) doesn't seem to be helping.
How do I find the catalog request for a given request ID?
