CancelIPReservation and FinishIPReservation functions not performing as expected.

DGNetops

Orion 2020.2.6 using ansible to perform ipam api calls via winrm then using powershell. This works for querying first usable IP in a subnet, getting subnet info based on a SWQL query filtering on comments (descriptions in GUI) and for starting an IP Address Reservation I do get an "API Blocked" status with a proper timeout that functions.

However, Canceling or Finishing does not work as expected. CancelIPReservation states "nil: true" but status never goes out of "API Blocked" in gui and has to wait for reservation to time out.

FinishIPReservation states that the reserved IP is not "blocked" and therefore cannot finish the resevation but in GUI it shows as blocked??

Apart from performing these two actions via a CRUD method instead of the provided IPAM API Functions is there any insight on why this could be happening?

For now, I have rewritten this to perform a SWQL call to get URI of specific IP address in IPAM then use CRUD call to IPAM.IPNode to set the status to what I want.

Example code in case anyone is interested: 

1. Get-swisdata -swisconnection $swis -Query "SELECT DISTINCT IPAddress, uri FROM IPAM.IPNode WHERE IPAddress LIKE '$IPAddress'"

2. Set-swisobject $swis -uri '*insert uri*' -Properties @{Status ='Transient'}


First line is pretty self explanatory and is used to get the URI from the IPAM Database using SWQL. The $IPAddress is a variable I use to pass through the variable I want to use in the lookup.

Second line you would then use the output from line 1 to insert the URI and then set the status to in the example above Transient but could be whatever status you wanted from the list: "Used", "Available", "Reserved", "Transient", "Blocked"
