v8 and v9 REST API changes?

Post by kosov.janko »

Hello all,

I’ve been successfully using v8 REST API. After the upgrade of EM I’m trying to use v9 API.

Has there been changes from v8 to v9 for this particular call: (POST) /jobs/{ID}/includes: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/res ... ludes.html ?

Below is my request, which worked for v8.

•POST:/jobs/2969abe3-f684-4b5b-859d-0002755068da/includes

Code: Select all

<CreateObjectInJobSpec xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0">
  <HierarchyObjRef>urn:VMware:Vm:c2d7cab5-7187-4d69-b772-891c3391a29a.vm-1381</HierarchyObjRef>
  <HierarchyObjName>VM1</HierarchyObjName>
</CreateObjectInJobSpec>
Checking the task status it fails with below error:

•GET:/tasks/task-9

Code: Select all

<Task Type="Task" Href="https://veeam-em:9398/api/tasks/task-9" xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Links>
    <Link Href="https://veeam-em:9398/api/tasks/task-9" Type="Task" Rel="Delete"/>
  </Links>
  <TaskId>task-9</TaskId>
  <State>Finished</State>
  <Operation>UpdateJob</Operation>
  <Result Success="false">
    <Message>Object reference not set to an instance of an object.</Message>                                <<< ERROR?
  </Result>
</Task>
I do not see anything being changed in the documentation – according to the documentation I’m still sending a valid request call/content.

Where else and what else can I check to further troubleshoot this issue?

Just checked on my v9 installation and the said query seems to be working properly. So, keep working with our support team on addressing that.

By the way are you authenticating the latest version (v1_2) of logon session manager?

Thanks.

I've received the answer from Veeam Doc team regarding the issue:
We have contacted our QA team and they say the GuestProcessingOptions element is obligatory in v9. This is reflected now in the element description, in the Min/Max Occurrence column:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/res ... ludes.html

You can use the following request so that the task completes successfully:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CreateObjectInJobSpec xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<HierarchyObjRef>urn:VMware:%5BObjectType%5D:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.%5BObjectRef%5D</HierarchyObjRef>
<HierarchyObjName>[ObjectName]</HierarchyObjName>
<GuestProcessingOptions/>
</CreateObjectInJobSpec>

Thank you,
Veeam Documentation Team
After updating this parameter, request was successful.
