HTTP 500 error when trying to Import vRO workflow via Webservice
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the VMWare ecosystem and I'm currently using vRO 7.5, and trying to automate certain tasks via its Webserice using Python.
I was able to retrieve informations about workflows and others objects and even export them as zip files.
But when I try to import a workflow, I keep getting a HTTP 500 error with no further explanation.
The documentation about importing objects isn't detailed enough, apart from saying that the HTTP POST should follow the RFC 2387 standard.
In the other hand, the API reference shows that we need also to provide the categoryId when making the POST request.
On the internet, I can't find if someone had the same issue, but I found an example of workflow import using Powershell. (https://code.vmware.com/samples/804/perl-python-and-powershell-samples-to-execute-vro-workflow-over-rest?h=import%20workflow)
That script prepare the HTTP requests to include the file and the categoryId.
I tried to do the same using Python, but no luck as I always get an HTTP 500 when I POST to that URL.
Here an example of the HTTP Request, does anyone know how to solve this issue ?
