Hello,

I want to create a simple job with some reports using the REST API. 

Cognos version is 11.2.4 FP1.

With curl I created an empty job without an error.

JSON: 
{
  "defaultName":"Test Job REST",
  "type":"jobDefinition"
}

I see the job in the folder and it looks okay, but when I open the job it is like a new one (name on top says "*New Job").

With curl I added two times a report as "jobStepDefinition".
JSON:
{
  "defaultName":"2023-09-27T12:12:12.000Z",
  "type":"jobStepDefinition",
  "stepObject":
    [
    {
    "searchPath":"/content/folder[@name='aaa']/folder[@name='bbb']/report[@name='ccc']",
    "id":"iD11173C4DB2745C1ABDE7276254498C7",
    "type":"report"
    }
    ]
}

By using curl to query the job the output show the two entries I added.
curl --insecure -X GET -D ctst.hdr -o ctst.out --header "IBM-BA-Authorization: CAM MTsxMDE6MmZiZWJmYjUasdf3NS05Z123LTgzMTQtMDU0MTZkMGM4NmRmOjIwNDY3NTA4MjQ7MDszOzA7" --header "accept: application/json" https://cognos:9300/api/v1/content/iAB73C9411BE543CCB3290728C9C39A8D/items

Result (by tr , \\n < ctst.out) show the two entries:
{"content":[{"modificationTime":"2023-11-08T13:11:52.841Z"
"defaultName":"2023-09-27T11:11:11.000Z"
"id":"iAB6867CCD5784E7992C5B71DCDB81326"
"type":"jobStepDefinition"
"version":1
"owner":[{"userName":"abc123"
"defaultName":"abc123"}]
"links":[{"rel":"self"
"type":"application/json"
"href":"/api/v1/content/iAB6867CCD5784E7992C5B71DCDB81326"}
{"rel":"items"
"type":"application/json"
"href":"/api/v1/content/iAB6867CCD5784E7992C5B71DCDB81326/items"}]}
{"modificationTime":"2023-11-08T13:14:59.787Z"
"defaultName":"2023-09-27T12:12:12.000Z"
"id":"iE88A0CD266944C358F42DBF32680940F"
"type":"jobStepDefinition"
"version":1
"owner":[{"userName":"abc123"
"defaultName":"abc123"}]
"links":[{"rel":"self"
"type":"application/json"
"href":"/api/v1/content/iE88A0CD266944C358F42DBF32680940F"}
{"rel":"items"
"type":"application/json"
"href":"/api/v1/content/iE88A0CD266944C358F42DBF32680940F/items"}]}]}

But opening the job, I still get the same result (empty job with name "*new job").

Technically something is working, but it seems I missed one or more parameters in the json specification to make the job specification fully valid.

Does anyone know what is wrong / missed or have an example / template on how to create a job with REST API?

Thanks
Michael
