sessionType not the same as documented

Post by raphael@schitz.net »

Hi, i was looking for a proper session filtering but i discovered than the session types are not properly documented.

I'm now filtering on "Job" where i wanted to filter on "BackupJob" but is it going to change or be fixed in the future?

Thanks

Hi,

What's the REST version you're encountering it in?

Thanks,

Hi,

Tested in v12.3 with the following REST API versions: 1.1-rev0, 1.1-rev1, 1.2-rev0

The issue appeared only in 1.1-rev0, so must have been fixed further on. Let me know if it works for you in 1.1-rev1 or 1.2-rev0 REST versions.

Best regards,
Oleg

You're right Oleg, my appologies, i was using 1.0-rev1.
Now it's perfect, thank you.

Where could i find the differences and the compatibility matrix of those definitions please?

Hi,

Generally, specification changes are described in this changelog, unless it's a bug. REST API versioning lifecycle is described here.

Best regards,

Hi Oleg, while poking around with the taskSession request, i found that some of them return with the wrong endTime (1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM) even if the state is Stopped:

I'm filtering on BackupJob but it's just to let you know in case that's not expected
