Enterprise Manager API BackupSession & Tasksession reason field

[Henrik.Grevelund]

Hi,

I can't seem to get the reason text when asking the VEM API.
I was excepting to get the reason text which normally explain the errors if the job or task failed.

/backupSessions/{ID} doesn't list the field
/backupTaskSessions/{ID} list the field but it's empty

Is this expected behaviour ?

The most accurate would be to get the sessionlog for the backupsession and the task, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Hi Henrik,

With /backupSessions/{ID} it's expected, we didn't have reason property there. With /backupTaskSessions/{ID} looks like a bug.
I would advise using VBR REST API though, where session logs are already available and task session logs are planned to be added soon.

Best regards,
Oleg
