REST API Resume Paused Flow - ERROR - data map cannot be null when resuming an execution

ArtQ

I'm trying to RESUME a PAUSED flow thru REST API using the "HTTP Client Put" step in OO:

Step Input:

URL: CentralHost:8443/.../status

AUTHTYPE: basic 

CONTENTTYPE: application/json

METHOD: PUT

BODY: {"action": "RESUME"}

Central server.log Result:

2023-10-04 11:06:57,887 [http-nio-8443-exec-15] (FlowExecutionV2Controller.java:218) ERROR - data map cannot be null when resuming an execution

OO Step Result:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "">www.w3.org/.../xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<body>
<img src="/oo/400.png" alt="400 bad request" usemap="#flowMap">

</map>
</body>

</html>

Any advise please? Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi,

    As per the OO documentation (https://docs.microfocus.com/doc/Operations_Orchestration/2023.05/ChangeExecutionStatus) in order to resume a flow without providing input values the body should contain:

    {
"action": "RESUME",
"data": {
"branchId": null
}
}

    While for a paused flow where providing inputs for prompts the body should look like this: 
    {
"action": "RESUME",
"data": {
"branchId": "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479:1",
"input_binding": {
"Input 1": "VALUE2",
"Input 2": [
"VALUE1",
"VALUE2",
"VALUE3"
],
"Input 3": null,
"Input 4": "434"
}
}
}

    Basically in your case the body of the request was missing the data key-value pair and that is why it is giving you a bad request response instead of resuming the flow.

    Hope this helps,
    Vlad

    Thanks very much Vlad! It works now after adding the missing input values in the body of my HTTPClient PUT step.

    "data": {
"branchId": null
}
