Move a system from Lost and Found to a group through API

[ePoMaster]

Hello,

I need to transfert automatically a system stored in LnF to a different Group through the API.

My first try was the system.move names autoSort command but it just returned OK: True without moving the appropriate system to the group I specified.

The exact command was: 

curl -k -u ga:ga "https://epo_server:8443/remote/system.move?names=system1?parentGroupId=5?autoSort"

I verified the name of the system with a system.find and the Id of the group with system.findGroups. 

I clearly see the system in LnF, can move it (drag and drop) on the HMI but nothing happens when I try through the API.

My version of the ePo is 5.10.0.

Thanks per advance for any help or clarification!

Sorting would need to be enabled on the system and sorting criteria met.  If you do a test sort in the system tree, will it sort properly?

I meant using Salt by "automatically", not using the AutoSort parameter.
Even though, yes I tried activating the Sorting feature on a system and retry the curk command but still nothing happens.
My other possibility is to upload a system text file (wit hthe appropriate format) to the ePo through with a curl command but can't find it...

I don't know if you can use a python script or not, I am not versed on the api commands.  You can run the help command to get a list of available commands - refer to the web api scripting guide.

I am not using any python script sorry. Yes the help command is a little bit limited. Here I just want some clarification about one specific command...

Some of the other advanced team members were testing this.  Here is what worked.  You would need to find the right group ID.

The following command would move a machine called test to a group with ID 5:

/remote/system.move?names=test&parentGroupId=5

To clarify, the command in the original post is correct but has the wrong syntax

The syntax using HTTPS should be

https://<server>:<port>/remote/<command>?<arg1>=<val1>&<arg2>=<val2>

Where you use ? after the command and & between the arguments. As cdinet listed the example to follow would be:

https://eposerver01:8443/remote/system.move?names=test&parentGroupId=5

One final note, the commands are also case sensitive.

Thank you very much! I was looking at the parameter setup but not at the syntax... Works fine now.

Thank you again
