[ovirt-devel] Re: Dealing with TaskID in vdsm api

From what I can see in: https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/0725f32994293514d3275528c44687e8e800d6... you should try and query sdm jobs by using Host.getJobs API call.

In short, this is what I am doing: ~~~ from vdsm import client cli = client.connect('localhost', 54321, use_tls=True) cli.SDM.update_volume(job_id=job, vol_info=vol, vol_attr=changes) ~~~ This last line does an API call. A taskID is generated in vdsm, I can only specify the JobID as a parameter of the call. From what I read, the taskID should be sent on the HTTP header if I want to set it. But I cannot find how to do it. The whole point is that I want to know the taskID, so I can monitor the task and clear it after it is finished. So: * How do I retrieve the taskID vdsm generated for this? or * How to I query VDSM to give me the taskID for the JobID I passed as argument or * How can I specify the taskID to be used given I'm using vdsm client (from vdsm import client). or * any other idea you have on how to handle this? Am I missing something or there is some missing implementation for doing this?
