Hi @satishglondhe - the create VM snapshot operation is an asynchronous job, it is retrieving the jobid on the initial response while the job is in progress. The UUID (and other relevant fields) are set once the operation is completed and successful. Have you tried using cloudmonkey (https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-cloudmonkey)? - it handles these cases and queries the in-progress jobs until its completion, retrieving the full response once the operation is completed
