APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Question:
  
  Would it be possible to trigger a policy using a Restful request
  from a third party system? We were able to do so using SOAP, but
  we are unable to do so using Restful API
  

Local fix

• The REST API which services the Impact GUI is partially
  documented in Section "Accessing policies remotely using the
  REST API"
  in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/tivoli-netcoolimpact/7.1
