Modify A Fixed Cost Value - VMware VCENTER CHARGEBACK 1.5 - API Manual

vCenter Chargeback API Programming Guide

Modify a Fixed Cost Value

Using the Modify Fixed Cost API, you can update the ID, value, and duration for a fixed cost.
To modify a fixed cost value
1 Call the API by using the following syntax.
<HTTP_request_method> <Base_URL>/fixedCost/{fixedCostId}/values
For example, you can define a call like this:
PUT https://123.123.123.123/vCenter-CB/api/fixedCost/{fixedCostId}/values
2 In the request XML, specify a name and a description for the fixed cost. The following is an example
request XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Request xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vcenter/chargeback/1.5.0">
<FixedCosts>
<FixedCost id="1">
</FixedCost>
</FixedCosts>
</Request>
The response XML indicates whether the fixed cost value was successfully modified.
The following is an example program that calls the API.
/**

*
* @param requestFilePath
* @param baseURL
* @param startTime
* @param endTime
* @throws IOException
