Does anyone have an xml block that will kick off a testset (curl example would be great)?

The REST documentation in HP-ALM does not show how to execute a testset from REST. There is a description of how to create a defect. The secondary problem is that the docs suggest that required fields include cycle_id and testcycl_id for which I can't find a way to get their values.

Specifically - I want to create a Run object via POST

thanks

ALM REST API Does not have the feature to kickoff Automated tests. We need to go with OTA API for the same.

By OTA try this code in VBS.

    Set tdc = CreateObject("TDAPIOLE80.TDConnection")

    tdc.InitConnectionEx "https://URLALM"
    tdc.login "USer", "pass"
    tdc.Connect "DOMAIN", "PROJECT"

    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    'Set TSetFact = tdc.TestSetFactory
    Set tsTreeMgr = tdc.TestSetTreeManager
    Set tsFolder = tsTreeMgr.NodeByPath("your tree")
    Set tsList = tsFolder.FindTestSets("testSet")
    Set theTestSet = tsList.Item(1) 'list of testSets

    Set Scheduler = theTestSet.StartExecution("")

    if err.number <> 0 then
        'msgbox err.Description
    Else
        Scheduler.RunAllLocally = True
        Scheduler.Run

        Set execstatus = Scheduler.ExecutionStatus
        Do While RunFinished = False
            execstatus.RefreshExecStatusInfo "all", True
            RunFinished = execstatus.Finished
            Set EventsList = execstatus.EventsList
            For Each ExecEventInfoObj In EventsList
                strNowEvent = ExecEventInfoObj.EventType
            Next
            For i = 1 To execstatus.Count
                Set TestExecStatusobj = execstatus.Item(i)
                intTestid = TestExecStatusobj.TestInstance
            Next
        Loop

        execstatus.RefreshExecStatusInfo "all", True
    End if

    Set tsTreeMgr = nothing
    Set tsFolder = nothing
    Set tsList = nothing
    Set theTestSet =nothing

    tdc.Disconnect
    tdc.Logout

   tdc.ReleaseConnection
   Set tdc = Nothing

Through Rest Api,You can create run for each of the test instance in a test set and update each of the step through run-steps of that particular test case while execution. While creating the run you have update following mandatory field:-

http://<server>/qcbin//rest/domains/<>/projects/<>/runs/

<Entity Type=\"run\"><Fields>
<Field Name=\"name\"><Value>Run_2015-04-15</Value></Field>
<Field Name=\"testcycl-id\"><Value>573269</Value></Field>
<Field Name=\"cycle-id\"><Value>4363</Value></Field>
<Field Name=\"test-id\"><Value>29201</Value></Field>
<Field Name=\"subtype-id\"><Value>hp.qc.run.MANUAL</Value></Field>
<Field Name=\"owner\"><Value>owner</Value></Field>
</Fields></Entity>

After creating run ,you need to fetch Run-ID{Run ID} from the generated Response Xml /qcbin/rest/domains/{domain}/projects/{project}/runs/?query={name[Run_2015-04-15]}-use this url to get {Run ID} will be used to update steps.Used in following Url

/qcbin/rest/domains/{domain}/projects/{project}/runs/{Run ID}/

For run-steps:- To get the ID for the particular Step (like Step 1,2...).Use following query url.

/qcbin/rest/domains/{domain}/projects/{project}/runs/{Run ID}/run-steps/?query={name[Step 1]}-use this url to get Step ID {ID}.

To Update Step:- 1. Use following url:-

 /qcbin/rest/domains/{domain}/projects/{project}/runs/{Run ID}/run-steps/{ID}

2.Generate the Xml and use post method to update status field.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?> 
- <Entity Type="run-step">

  <Value>0</Value>
