We are trying to use the RESTful API to publish some synthetic data in an Oracle Database, using the /TDMJobService/api/ca/v1/jobs End Point. We need to pass a value to a variable we use in that generator. However, the variable always returns the default value, and not the value you wish to pass. We read over the API documentation, but could not find anything to help us get around this issue, or a recommendation for doing what we need in this situation.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

Release:
Component: TDMWBP

The best way to get the payload will be to publish the generator using chrome and then copying the payload from developer console (F12).

For example:
Generator with variables

<Please see attached file for image>

Publish to target

<Please see attached file for image>

Capture the traffic

<Please see attached file for image>

Below is the Payload for the request
