That is an excellent question. https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/pull/19138 got mistakenly labeled as not getting backported, the label just got fixed so it should be soon. |
Description of problem: Currently when scheduling an automation task via the APi the schedule_time is specified as a number of days in the future. Customers need to be able to specify and exact date and time for the automation task. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.11.0.18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the API to create an automation request with a parameter called schedule_time with a date/time combination. POST /api/automation_requests { "uri_parts" : { "namespace" : "System", "class" : "Request", "instance" : "InspectME", "message" : "create" }, "parameters" : { "var1" : "value 1", "var2" : "value 2", "minimum_memory" : 2048, "schedule_time": "2019-08-14 17:41:06 UTC" }, "requester" : { "auto_approve" : true } } Actual results: scheduling fails Expected results: Automation task is scheduled at the requested date and time. Additional info: The UI allows scheduling an automation task at a specified date and time. The API should allow for the same functionality. See BZ 1486765 introduced the functionality of scheduling automation tasks via the API.
