I’m trying to use DataMiner API to create a job via HTTP. I’m using Postman to test this.

After running the ConnectApp call, I’m trying to use the CreatJob call. I’m sending the following body in the HTTP Post:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”

<Name>{{job-name}}</Name>
<TimeStartUTC>{{start-time}}</TimeStartUTC>
<TimeEndUTC>{{end-time}}</TimeEndUTC>
<Sections>
<DMAJobSection>
<ID>8724a340-6157-4b06-979d-57f9e4b411ab</ID>
<SectionDefinitionID>8724a340-6157-4b06-979d-57f9e4b411ab</SectionDefinitionID>
<Name>DefaultSectionDefinitionExtension</Name>
<Type>string</Type>
<Fields xsi:nil=”true”>
</Fields>/>
</DMAJobSection>
</Sections>
</job>
</CreateJob>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

And for this, I’m getting the following response:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. —&gt; Skyline.DataMiner.Web.Common.WebApiException: The default job section is required.

— End of inner exception stack trace —

I thought that the default job section data (job name, start and end time) were valid (bc5f2b9a-85d6-4017-865f-d8e4456bdb2d is the GUID from the default job section).
Can someone shed some light how to proceed?
Additionally, I couldn’t find in DataMiner help information about the Fields tag, so I not sure how to pass a field value to DatMiner.

EDIT:

After trying Wale’s approach, I’m having another error: “bruno test-postman is missing some sections that are defined on the job domain.”

I think my three sections are present in my request, please let me know what I’m missing to have a successful create job call.
