VMware vCenter Orechestrator "Create Pool"

Question

Hello,&nbsp;
i want to create a pool with the VMware Orechestrator Plugin from F5. When i fill in all inforamtions for the workflow (LTM instance; Name for pool and Methos, for example LB_METHOD_ROUND_ROBIN). I choose the method "round_robin". When i start the Workflow with this Information i get the following Error Message:&nbsp;
{"code":400,"message":"Status code:400, uri:http://localhost:8110/tm/ltm/pool, body: {\"errorResponse\":\"{\"error\":{\"code\":400,\"message\":\"invalid property value \\"load-balancing-mode\\":\\"Round_robin\\"\"}}\",\"errorStack\":[]}","originalRequestBody":"{\"errorResponse\":\"{\"error\":{\"code\":400,\"message\":\"invalid property value \\"load-balancing-mode\\":\\"Round_robin\\"\"}}\",\"errorStack\":[]}","restOperationId":13591588,"errorStack":["java.net.ProtocolException: Status code:400, uri:http://localhost:8110/tm/ltm/pool, body: {\"errorResponse\":\"{\"error\":{\"code\":400,\"message\":\"invalid property value \\"load-balancing-mode\\":\\"Round_robin\\"\"}}\",\"errorStack\":[]}","at com.f5.rest.common.RestRequestSender.finish(RestRequestSender.java:412)","at com.f5.rest.common.RestRequestSender.processNext(RestRequestSender.java:397)","at com.f5.rest.common.RestHelper$2.run(RestHelper.java:1478)","at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(Unknown Source)","at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source)","at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
"]} (Dynamic Script Module name : createPool4)&nbsp;
Also i get this Error messages when i choose other Methods. Does someone have a solution for this Problem ?&nbsp;
I am using a virtual edition of the BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 608.0 Final.&nbsp;
regards&nbsp;

When using the SOAP interface the method needs to be set to LB_Method_Round_Robin, if you have enabled the REST interface you can enter the method as round-robin.

thanks.. it's working.. do you have a table or site where i can find the "translation" from SOAP in REST ?
For example i have the same Problems with the workflow "create virtual server with the "Profile_Context_type_all".
regards

If you ever need to see the appropriate name for an iControl field/value, the iControl REST user-guide [https://devcentral.f5.com/d/icontrol-rest-user-guide-version-1150](https://devcentral.f5.com/d/icontrol-rest-user-guide-version-1150" target="_blank"&gt;[https://devcentral.f5.com/d/icontrol-rest-user-guide-version-1150](https://devcentral.f5.com/d/icontrol-rest-user-guide-version-1150 is a great resource.
You can also do an HTTP GET against the resource to see what field/value iControl returns. In this case
curl -k -u user:pass -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET [https://f5-lb-name/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/pool_name](https://f5-lb-name/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/pool_name) 
...against a pool_name with the round-robin method would return "loadBalancingMode":"round-robin" as part of its output.
