# Update a primary event in a sequence

PUT https://device.example.com:443/cluster1/vos-api/playoutcontrol/v1/events/{channelId}/sequence/{sequenceId}/primary/{primaryId}
Content-Type: application/json

Reference: https://mediakind.ferndocs.com/harmonic/api/vos/playout-backend/update-primary-event-in-sequence

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `channelId` (string, required) — ID of the channel
- `sequenceId` (string, required) — ID of the sequence
- `primaryId` (string, required) — ID of the primary event

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a com.harmonicinc.vos.app.playoutcontrolbackend.rest.model.sequence.UpdateSequencePrimaryProperties.

- `asRunExtraStatus` (string, optional) — Additional information about the As-Run status for past events
- `asRunStatus` (enum, optional) — As-Run status for past events
  - Allowed values: `AIRED_OK`, `MISSING_MEDIA`, `TECHNICAL_DIFFICULTY_INVALID_ASSET`, `TECHNICAL_DIFFICULTY_UNEXPECTED_ERROR`, `TECHNICAL_DIFFICULTY_PLAY_RESTARTED`, `TECHNICAL_DIFFICULTY_SYNC_LOSS`, `TECHNICAL_DIFFICULTY_INPUT_SWITCH`, `DID_NOT_AIR_SERVICE_STOPPED`, `DID_NOT_AIR_UNEXPECTED`, `DID_NOT_AIR_EVENT_SKIPPED`, `DID_NOT_AIR_EVENT_DELETED_BY_OPERATOR`, `DID_NOT_AIR_CHANNEL_OVERRIDE`, `DID_NOT_AIR_TIMING_ERROR`, `DID_NOT_AIR_SOM_TC_NOT_IN_ASSET`, `DURATION_DISCREPANCY_ASSET_TOO_SHORT`, `PREEMPTED_BY_NEXT_EVENT`, `PREEMPTED_BY_CHANNEL_OVERRIDE`, `TECHNICAL_DIFFICULTY_LATE_START`, `JOINED_IN_PROGRESS_CHANNEL_OVERRIDE`, `CLEAN_LAYER`, `REDUNDANCY_SWITCH`
- `assetId` (string, optional) — Identifier for the asset to be played; a live source name, filename for file assets (the uri of the asset in asset library, with or without file path and extension), or asset title for recorded assets
- `assetTitle` (string, optional) — Text or additional information about the asset, usually the material title
- `audioProfileName` (string, optional) — The grooming profile to be used for file assets, to allow the audio tracks of the file to be selected. Grooming profiles are defined in the Asset Acquisition application. Not applicable to live events and recorded assets
- `description` (string, optional) — Descriptive text that may contain additional information about the event
- `duration` (string, optional) — Length of the event (hh:mm:ss.sss)
- `materialType` (string, optional) — Material type of the asset. Special values Program, Avail, and Commercial are used for SCTE-35 generation
- `som` (string, optional) — Indicates the position in the asset to start playback (hh:mm:ss.sss). When the SomType is RELATIVE, the SOM value is the offset from the start of asset. When the SomType is ABSOLUTE, it is the timecode value for the starting position in the asset. An empty or blank value is treated as zero offset
- `somType` (enum, optional) — The type of SOM, which determines how the SOM value is used. When the SomType is RELATIVE, the SOM value is the offset from the start of asset. When the SomType is ABSOLUTE, the Som value is the timecode value for the starting position in the asset
  - Allowed values: `RELATIVE`, `ABSOLUTE`
- `startTrigger` (string, optional) — Start trigger name
- `tcDuration` (string, optional) — Equivalent to duration, but in timecode format (hh:mm:ss[:;]ff)
- `tcSom` (string, optional) — Equivalent to som, but in timecode format (hh:mm:ss[:;]ff)
- `upid` (string, optional) — The uPid value is inserted in the segmentation_upid field of the segmentation descriptor in generated SCTE-35 messages. SCTE-35 messages are generated for events with material type PROGRAM, AVAIL, or COMMERCIAL. It is a hexadecimal string, e.g. "0x000000002C11422B" with or without the leading "0x"
- `upidType` (integer, optional) — The uPid type is inserted in the segmentation_upid_type field of the segmentation descriptor in generated SCTE-35 messages. SCTE-35 messages are generated for events with material type PROGRAM, AVAIL, or COMMERCIAL
