How to Update the source dataflow schedule time through API

Hello,
 
We need to update the source dataflow schedule time. I’m attempting this using AEP Flows API calls. For the request body, I’m using:
 
[
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/scheduleParams/startTime",
"value": "1762482630000"
}
]
 
However, this approach isn’t working—I’m receiving a 412 Precondition Failed error. I am passing the flow ID and the If-Match (etag) header as required.
 
Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

@sheejo Would this work better?

 

[
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/scheduleParams",
    "value": {
      "startTime": 1762482630000
    }
  }
]

    @sheejo  I just tried with:

    GET https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/flowservice/flows/:ID

    to get the original details of the flow

     

    Then used:

    PATCH https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/flowservice/flows/:ID

     

    .. with the following body (which is your original attempt):

     

    [ { "op": "replace", "path": "/scheduleParams/startTime", "value": "1763743872" } ]
     
    It works as long as you have the correct If-Match parameter, ie:
    If-Match: "versionID" as taken from the first GET call.
     
    Can you elaborate as to what error you get if the above does not work? Thanks
    That 412 error is usually to do with pasting the etag in an incorrect format
