Hi Tina/Marianne/Josh,

I wanted to confirm the following things:

1) We had some documentation on create_automation_request in Management Engine 5.1 Integration_Guide, https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_CloudForms/2.0/html-single/Management_Engine_5.1_Integration_Guide/index.html#CreateAutomationRequest.
Is this content still valid for CFME 4.0 ?
2) As I understand, Automation request needs to be created and approved as the 1st step of the Automate model. Is the following location appropriate for adding this content?
A new section, 'Create Automate Request' before https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-cloudforms/version-4.0/scripting-actions-in-cloudforms/#creating_a_domain
3) Regarding this comment from the bug, Automation guide needs to cover the usage of create_automation_request along with an example on how to pass the zone information for a create_automation_request,
Can you provide me an example on how to pass the zone information for a create_automation_request?
4) I researched this topic in ManageIQ forums, and found the following link:
https://github.com/ManageIQ/guides/blob/master/proposals/rest_api_provisioning_automation.md
Do you think the information in this link is relevant to this bug and should be captured in the proposed section?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Shikha Nansi

See above notes.

Thank you for raising this bug.

We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request for the documentation, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. 

If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Andrew Dahms.
