CA7 RestApi - 400 Bad request

Issue/Introduction

Why do get a 400 Bad Request in when using REST API for CA7?

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : CA 7 WORKLOAD AUTOMATION UI

Resolution

Bad Request 400

We have determined that read timeouts between the REST API and CA 7 can be minimized by increasing the new timeout value provided in the latest drop of 12.1.04. Read timeouts between REST API and CA 7 look like:

status=400
error="Bad Request"
message="The request to ##.##.#.#:####  was unsuccessful. Cause: IOException reading from ##.##.#.#:#### ."

When this type of read timeout occurs, it is not possible to know whether the API can be retried or not. We are working on an enhancement to provide idempotency for the REST API so that it will be possible to know whether the API can be retried or not.
