API DeleteAction not working

Customizations

Hi,

Right now I’ve having an issue using the API to delete an action.

I can stop an action without any problem using this code:

BESAPILib.ActionStopper ActionStopper = new BESAPILib.ActionStopper();

ActionStopper.StopAction(ActionID, username, password);

if (ActionStopper.DiagnosticMessage.Length != 0)

throw new Exception(ActionStopper.DiagnosticMessage);

The problem is that this code (even running later to make sure the action is really stopped):

BESAPILib.ActionStopper ActionStopper = new BESAPILib.ActionStopper();

ActionStopper.DeleteAction(ActionID, username, password);

if (ActionStopper.DiagnosticMessage.Length != 0)

throw new Exception(ActionStopper.DiagnosticMessage);

The action is not deleted from the TEM Manager Console and just stays there. Also there is no data on the DiagnosticMessage and everything seems ok.

I’m using TEM Server and API with 8.2.193.0 version.

Thanks in Advance

Eduardo Barbosa

I see the same behavior on my system as you have described.

I have filed bug# 49219 to help track the problem.

Hi Lee

…any update on he bug #49219?

We’ve encountered the same issue and while StopAction DOES work, DeleteAction DOES NOT… we have to delete stopped actions manually… kinda boring since we have scripts in place that do generate dozens of actions per day…

Thanks!

I did not see a delivery date scheduled for the fix, but I have updated the report.

Thanks for the quick reply!

May I ask what report are you talking about?

This seems a major issue to me, since there’s no way to automate the deletion of actions with the latest APIs, yet there’s no date for the fix… do you think it would help if we open a call with IBM support about this issue?

Thanks again!

Lo.

I meant the bug report.

I added your comments to raise the priority.

Opening a official technical support ticket always helps.

Base on your inputs and requests, engineering has decided to fix this in the next patch release of 8.2.

The current release is 8.2.1159.

So when you see a version greater than that, it will contain the fix.

For the record and to be explicit, the fix will be in version 8.2.1283 and above.
