Change Lease

You use the catalog service to change a lease. For actions that require user input, you may need to edit the template prior to submitting the request.

{
   "@type": "link",
   "rel": "GET Template: {[email protected]}",
   "href": "https://$vRA/api/consumer/resources/dd3...a4a/actions/b5739e30-.../requests/template"
},
{
   "@type": "link",
   "rel": "POST: {com.vmware...iaas.proxy.provider@resource.action.name.machine.ChangeLease}",
   "href": "https://$vRA/api/consumer/resources/dd3...a4a/actions/b5739e30-.../requests"
},

1. Get the template for the resource action request.

   $curl --insecure -s -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" https://$vRA/catalog-service/api/consumer/resources/dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a/actions/b5739e30-871d-48c7-9012-f2a7cf431dc1/requests/template

2. Examine the response.

     "type": "com.vmware.vcac.catalog.domain.request.CatalogResourceRequest",
     "resourceId": "dd37b7a1-829c-4773-b5be-b229453eca4a",
     "actionId": "b5739e30-871d-48c7-9012-f2a7cf431dc1",
     "description": null,
     "data": {"provider-ExpirationDate": "2015-07-29T16:44:13.846Z"}
   }
   

3. Edit the template as desired. The template is populated with default values. In this example, the value of provider-ExpirationDate is set to the time at which the template was requested in UTC. Edit this value (for example, to change the expiration to a month from now). You may also want to provide a custom value for the description.
4. Use a POST command to send the template to the corresponding URI.
