Can anyone help me with the Ansible uri module syntax to run a qscript? Specifically I’d like to be able to execute the AuxCopyReport
https://documentation.commvault.com/2023/expert/AuxCopyReport.html

 

- name: "Run aux copy report"
  uri:
    url: "https://{{ cv_server }}/webconsole/api/QCommand/qoperation%20execute"
    method: POST
    body_format: json
    body:
      "what goes here?"
    force_basic_auth: yes
    headers:
      AuthToken: "{{ auth_token }}"
      Content-Type: "application/json"
      Accept: "application/json "
    validate_certs: no
  register: cv_auxcopy

Thanks for the guidance @clecky here’s the final answer for anyone who comes past this in the future

  - name: "Run aux copy report"
    uri:
      url: "https://{{ cv_server }}/webconsole/api/QCommand/qoperation%20execscript{{ qcmd | urlencode }}"
      method: POST
      headers:
        AuthToken: "{{ auth_token }}"
        Accept: "application/json "
    register: cv_auxcopy
    vars:
      qcmd: " -sn QS_AuxCopyReport"

On a side note if you get the following @errorCode: 2 response check the credentials have the necessary permissions to execute the script
 

"json": {
    "CVGui_GenericResp": {
        "@errorCode": "2",
        "@errorMessage": "Operation failed"
    }
},

    You are using the wrong api.

    You are using qoperation execute

    You need qoperation execscript.

    nothing goes in the body everything is submitted in the uri.
