Using ePO Web API to create an AV scan task

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to create an ePO API for my company using python. I need a function that can turn on the AV scan of ePO.

I read the documentation and see that I can import client task using the command: clienttask.importClientTask

I used the web browser to create that task and then assign new assignment for that task, which is the steps to turn on AV scan if we use the web console. Then I export that task into .xml file. However, after using the clienttask.importClientTask, ePO just create the name "New Task 1" with no assignment attached. The .xml file has the information of the assignment, but I don't know why it does not work.

So my questions are:

1/ Is there a way to import assignment to a created task? I don't see the point of having importClientTask, but cannot assign anything to that task.

2/ Is there any way to turn on AV scan using the ePO Web API

Please help me, 

Thank you so much

I figured it out. To assign task, you need to use clienttask.run to run it with a list of system names that you want to run. There is no direct assignment.
