I'm trying to use the webapi from soapUI to query the execution history for a job.
This is my soap request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:nweb="VisualCron/NWebService">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<nweb:Log_Job_List>

<nweb:jobId>f5664ac5-6aed-4b5c-a11f-0e461fd0f9ca</nweb:jobId>

<nweb:startDate>2017-04-24T10:00:13+00:00</nweb:startDate>

<nweb:endDate>2018-04-24T10:00:13+00:00</nweb:endDate>
</nweb:Log_Job_List>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The following response is returned from VisualCron when executing this request, indicating that there is a problem with the date format. VC version is 8.1.2. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>

Do you have any further suggestions that I can try?

I suggest exploring it with SoapUI or similar tool to see exactly what is sent and received. We believe it should follow standards.

I mean it does not seem that you have used SoapUI to read the WSDL to get the exact expected response. It seems that either something is missing or sent wrong.

I tried with standard army date / time and it worked:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:nweb="VisualCron/NWebService">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <nweb:Log_Job_List>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <nweb:jobId>c6a11eec-56aa-4f83-9537-26e8b0aace86</nweb:jobId>
