Set Start/Stop time of API Action

Does anyone know of a way to add a start and stop time of an action that is created by the api?? Here is the xml i’m using to create an action:

`<BES xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="BES.xsd"><SourcedFixletAction>
<SourceFixlet>
    <Sitename>ActionSite</Sitename>
    <FixletID>12233454</FixletID>
    <Action>Action1</Action>
</SourceFixlet>
<Target>
    <ComputerName>computer123</ComputerName>
</Target></SourcedFixletAction></BES>`

Doesn’t really offer a lot of help by itself so any help anyone can offer would be great.

thanks!

The actual schema here is:

  <xs:complexType name="SourcedFixletAction">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="SourceFixlet" type="BESActionSourceFixlet" />
      <xs:element name="Target" type="BESActionTarget" minOccurs="0" />      
      <xs:element name="Parameter" type="BESActionParameter" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
      <xs:element name="SecureParameter" type="BESActionParameter" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />      
      <xs:element name="Settings" type="ActionSettings" minOccurs="0" />
      <xs:element name="IsUrgent" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0" />
      <xs:element name="Title" type="ObjectName" minOccurs="0" />
    </xs:sequence>
      <xs:attribute name="SkipUI" type="xs:boolean"/>
  </xs:complexType>

So you should be able to specify Settings:

		<Settings>
			<PreActionShowUI>false</PreActionShowUI>
			<HasRunningMessage>false</HasRunningMessage>
			<HasTimeRange>false</HasTimeRange>
			<HasStartTime>false</HasStartTime>
			<HasEndTime>true</HasEndTime>
			<EndDateTimeLocalOffset>P2D</EndDateTimeLocalOffset>
			<HasDayOfWeekConstraint>false</HasDayOfWeekConstraint>
			<UseUTCTime>false</UseUTCTime>
			<ActiveUserRequirement>NoRequirement</ActiveUserRequirement>
			<ActiveUserType>AllUsers</ActiveUserType>
			<HasWhose>false</HasWhose>
			<PreActionCacheDownload>false</PreActionCacheDownload>
			<Reapply>false</Reapply>
			<HasReapplyLimit>true</HasReapplyLimit>
			<ReapplyLimit>3</ReapplyLimit>
			<HasReapplyInterval>false</HasReapplyInterval>
			<HasRetry>false</HasRetry>
			<HasTemporalDistribution>false</HasTemporalDistribution>
			<ContinueOnErrors>true</ContinueOnErrors>
			<PostActionBehavior Behavior="Nothing"></PostActionBehavior>
			<IsOffer>false</IsOffer>
		</Settings>

Taking note specifically of:

			<HasEndTime>true</HasEndTime>
			<EndDateTimeLocalOffset>P2D</EndDateTimeLocalOffset>

Which means the action has an end time and it’s 2 days away (specified in ISO 8601 duration format)
