Thus, the code and information provided is to the best of the +knowledge of the team. If there are any questions or problems, please consult the VFC +Project to help provide guidance. + +VFC uses a REST-based +interface. However, as requests may not complete right away, a REST-based polling +interface is used to check the status of the request. The *jobId* is extracted +from each response and is appended to the *pathGet* configuration parameter to +generate the URL used to poll for completion. + +Each operation supported by the actor is associated with its own java class, which is +responsible for populating the request structure appropriately and sending the request. +The operation-specific classes are all derived from the *VfcOperation* class, which is, +itself, derived from *HttpOperation*. The following operations are currently supported: + +- Restart + + +Request +####### + +A number of nested structures are populated within the request. Several of them are +populated from items found within the A&AI "enrichment" data provided by DCAE with +the ONSET event. The following table lists the contents of some of the fields that +appear within these structures. + ++----------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| Field Name | Type | Description | ++----------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ ++----------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| top level: | | | ++----------------------------------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| *requestId* | string | Inserted by Policy.
