Switch to Service Mode via REST API

[JosiePl]

Hi 🙂

I'm trying to automatically deploy a snap to a (virtual) CtrlX. I've found out how to install a package via the package manager API, but could not find how to switch to service mode via the API.

I found this post ( https://developer.community.boschrexroth.com/t5/ctrlX-WORKS/Request-Service-or-Configuration-Mode-vi... ) but for me the request to "api/v1/packages/snap_rexroth-automationcore/details" do not differ. Does anybody know which request needs to be sent?

Thanks!

You can switch the state via the scheduler administration datalayer node. You of course need proper authentication (bearer token) like any other REST API request. Here is an example in Postman.
