Attach to Session
Connects to an existing SOA session.
Request
You can specify the Attach Session request as follows.
| Method | Request URI |
|---|---|
| GET (before HPC Pack 2016) | https://head_node_name:port/WindowsHpc/HPC_cluster_name/Session/session_identifier/Attach |
| GET (HPC Pack 2016) | https://head_node_name:port/WindowsHpc/Session/session_identifier/Attach |
For sessions that are managed by the Azure HPC Scheduler, the head node name should have a format of Windows_Azure_service_name.cloudapp.net.
To get the name to use for the HPC cluster, use the Get Clusters operation.
URI Parameters
You can specify the following additional parameters on the request URI.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| durable | Required. Specifies whether the session is a durable session or an interactive session. True indicates that the session is a durable session. False indicates that the session is an interactive session. When connecting to sessions that are managed by the Azure HPC Scheduler, specify false, because durable sessions are not supported for the Azure HPC Scheduler. |
| api-version | Required if the request does not contain the api-version header. Specifies the version of the operation to use for this request. To specify Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2 with Service Pack 3 (SP3), use a value of 2011-11-01. The minimum version that supports this operation is Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 R2 with SP3. The value of this URI parameter is ignored if the request also contains the api-version header. |
