-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Kiran,
I poked around on your Sandbox reservation a bit and used a test php script I have for making VCL API calls. I was able to create a new block reservation and then use my script to call the API to process it. So, you are using the correct credentials and URL. The xmlrpckey table is part of version 1 of the API which is deprecated and will be going away in VCL 2.2. Can you provide more information about what you are seeing that is not working? At 4 and 2 hours before a block reservation start time, vcld should make the API call to process the block time. If it is successful, the blockComputers table should be populated with computers for the block time and reload reservations should be created to load those computers at the appropriate times. I've attached my test php script. Hopefully the mail list won't eat it.
