<!-- Report configuration is an optional section, not particularly relavant for API
</Report>
</Reports>
</Request>
vCenter Chargeback queues this report request as a task and returns an XML that indicates the status of
the task. You can use the Get Queued Task Status API to track the progress of the task. For more
information on the Get Queued Task Status API, see the vCenter Chargeback API Reference Guide.
The following is an example program that calls the API.
