How to Pass Parameters to the rest service that is called by a sn_ws.RESTMessageV2

[pneuvil1]

How do I configure a parameter to be passed to the subject of a RESTMessageV2 call and how to I get that parameter once in that rest service

Attempted the following calling code:

extendedLogs = 'getExtendedLogs';

                var restmsg = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2(Rest Message Name, Method Name);

                restmsg.setEccParameter('skip_sensor', true);

                restmsg.setHttpMethod('POST');

                restmsg.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

                restmsg.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'application/json');

                restmsg.setQueryParameter ('extendedLogs', extendedLogs);

                restmsg.setStringParameter("extendedLogs", extendedLogs);

                restmsg.setRequestBody(extendedLogs);

                var results = restmsg.execute();

Then in the Scripted Rest Service to receive the call, the following was attempted:

function process( /*RESTAPIRequest*/ request, /*RESTAPIResponse*/ response)

            extendedLogs = request.queryParameter('extendedLogs');

            gs.log('---queryParameter ' + extendedLogs, 'layout');

            extendedLogs = request.getQueryParameter('extendedLogs');

            gs.log('===getQueryParameter ' + extendedLogs, 'layout');

            extendedLogs = request.getStringParameter("extendedLogs");

            gs.log('+++getstringparameter ' + extendedLogs, 'layout');

all come up undefined. This is code suggested by google searches and the docs.

a variable substitution named extendLogs is defined with no excaping for the rest method.

Also tried this to see if I could squeeze out the value passed in to the request

                gs.log('request=' + request, 'layout');

                gs.log('request.body=' + request.body, 'layout');

                for (var x in request.body)

                    gs.log('request.body[' + x + '] = ' + request.body[x], 'layout');

                gs.log('request.body.data=' + request.body.data, 'layout');

                for (x in request.body.data)

                    gs.log('request.body.data[' + x + '] = ' + request.body.data[x], 'layout');

                gs.log('request.body.data.extendedLogs=' + request.body.data.extendedLogs, 'layout');

all come up empty.

Hi @pneuvil1 

Did you test the different parameters (in this case, extendLogs) methods individually or all at once?

If they were tested together, the variable value may have been overwritten. Please test each method separately, one at a time.

Thanks for the reply. I conducted multiple testes in a variety of ways. Either it simply can't be done, or I have the syntax incorrect for capturing the value on the called web service.
