Update Management plugin restful API
Greetings
Using Dell OpenManage with the "Update Manager" plug-in, repositories need to be created with the GUI, using "Create Repository" and selecting a specific version of the Base Catalog (such as "Enterprise Server Catalog-21.06.00". There is no "latest" catalog available). My goal is to roll out the latest catalog automaticaly on my devices, from a local repo managed by the Update Manager plug-in.
To synchronize a new version of the catalog (since there is no "latest" catalog in the Update Manager), I need to create a new repository through the GUI again. So to stay up to date, I need to create a new repository a couple of times a month (one for Enterprise Server Catalog-21.06.00, one for Enterprise Server Catalog-21.06.01, etc.)
I am looking for documentation for a possible RESTful API to create a new repository with the latest Base Catalog. I see it should be possible to POST data under /api/UpdateManagementService/Repositories, but I could not find any documentation on that or any related code anywhere on the Internet or in the user guiides. I can GET the existing repositories successfully at that URL though.
Is the restful API usable? Is there any example or documentation for it?
Thanks

Hi, thanks for choosing Dell. As of now, we don’t have a lot of documents to refer to, I’m afraid. Users would need to study on their own according to their needs.

Wish you a great week ahead and let us know if you have any other questions. ^-^

Thanks. Still without an example of a payload I don't think I can make it work by myself
$ cat lebase { "BaseCatalogName": "21.06.01", "Name": "test" } $ curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' -d @lebase -k -u admin:pass \ 'https://ome/api/UpdateManagementService/Repositories' | jq . { "Value": 1, "Message": "Failed", "Id": 0, "Name": null, "JobID": null }
