GET /api/tasks not showing any tasks

[paulmcnally]

Hi, I'm trying to retrieve a task from the API.

I've performed a PUT on a tenant and the response is a task that was created:

Code: Select all

stdClass Object
(
    [TaskId] => task-6
    [State] => Running
    [Operation] => EditCloudTenant
    [Result] => 
    [Links] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [Rel] => Delete
                    [Href] => https://localhost:9398/api/tasks/task-6
                    [Name] => 
                    [Type] => 
                )

        )

    [Href] => https://localhost:9398/api/tasks/task-6
    [Type] => Task
)

But Querying

Code: Select all

https://localhost:9398/api/tasks

returns an empty set

Code: Select all

{#315 ▼
  +"Tasks": []
}

Or even if I query the task Href directly from the response

Code: Select all

https://localhost:9398/api/tasks/task-6

Code: Select all

{"FirstChanceExceptionMessage":null,"StackTrace":null,"Message":"There is no backup task with id [task-6] in current rest session","StatusCode":500,"Status":"InternalServerError"}

I have even tried using /query

Code: Select all

https://localhost:9398/api/query?type=Task

gives me an empty result set

Code: Select all

{#315 ▼
  +"Tasks": []
}

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hey Paul

Are you using the same session (X-RestSvcSessionId) that initiated the task?

If i recall correctly Tasks can only be fetched by the session that created by them, i ran across this when building a web based file level restore we had to cache the sessionid per restore session/user in order to make this work. This was a few years ago now though.

Thanks

Ben

Hi Ben, no I wasn't, will give that a try. Thanks

Ben is correct, you need to operate within the same session to get the task and its state.

The task example is provided here. Check EditCloudTenant one.

Thanks!
