Are these functions available in the REST API?

I searched the documentation, but have found no way to do the following:
Perform a CMS Query (or any other way to filter/retrieve CMS objects)
Get current user's info (Favorites folder ID, Inbox ID, etc.)
Get security details for objects
Get info on Events, Calendars, Servers

Pardon me for saying so, but if you valued my support you would make the transition easier. As I mentioned in my other thread, wrapper classes would be a good start.
As it is, I'm not only stuck having to re-code all my applications and scripts, but re-build them from the ground up. And that's if the functionality exists -- if not, I then have to make calls to two wholly different APIs in the same script. And, contrary to what I've read here, using the REST API requires a lot more supporting code, is less reusable, and pushes errors from compile-time to run-time.
"Cumbersome" is not a word I would use.
While it may be easier to be enthusiastic at the potential for developing on a platform that was previously unavailable, it's much harder when I have to put time and effort into redeveloping into something that will net me little benefit.
Why not continue to maintain the Java and .NET SDKs until the REST API has implemented all of their functionality?

How to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns

Hi Everyone,
We are using SharePoint2010 Standard Edition.
I wanted get the library details through REST Api. I am using as below:
https://SiteUrl/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Documents?$filter=Title eq 'SharePointDoc'
Here I am able to get the info regarding "SharePointDoc". But when I am trying to get the details from Taxonomy filter, it didn't.
Can anyone please tell me how can we filter based on Taxanomy fields.
Thanks in Advance
Krishnasandeep

Hi,
I understand that you wanted to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns.
Per my knowledge, in SharePoint 2010 , not all types of column are available via REST, most annoyingly managed metadata columns are amongst this group of unsupported column types.
However, in SharePoint 2013, we can filter list items based on taxonomy (managed metadata) columns.
Taxonomy fields can be now called via REST API using CAML query in REST calls.
Here is a great blog for your reference:
http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2013/09/23/how-to-filter-on-a-managed-metadata-column-via-rest-in-sharepoint-2013/comment-page-1/
You’d better to change the REST calls and the CAML query to check whether it works in SharePoint 2010.

How to create a campaign based on a template using the REST API

Hi CodeIt-ers,
I'm using the REST API to create campaigns in Eloqua 10, all works well except for 1 thing: I can't seem to create a campaign based on an existing Campaign template.
Based on the documentation on REST API - Accessing Campaigns I've tried using "sourceTemplateId" (code snippet below) but that did not do the trick.
Does that functionality simply not work or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Ferry
$campaign_data = new Campaign();
$campaign_data->sourceTemplateId='442';
$campaign_data->folderId='1137';
$campaign_data->currentStatus='draft';

Hi Richard,
Unfortunately no. I reached out to support, they informed me "sourceTemplateId" could not be used to create new campaigns based on a template, instead they advised to use the "Elements " property as shown in this example: Eloqua REST API - Create a Campaign with a Segment and Email
Thanks
Ferry

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu.
I'm trying to figure out why Firefox has no spellcheck. I suspect it needs dictionaries installed, but it's a bit of a mystery. I had to reste FF as it kept crashing after I updated to V31.0

Yes Options is for Windows.
On Mac you use "Firefox > Preferences" or the Preferences button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
Were you able to stop the crashes?

Enabling Profiling for deployments via the REST API

We have an application which is being deployed via the REST API. Our logging has captured some errors related to memory consumption that we'd like to examine using profiling. All the examples of profiling in Azure that I can find discuss deployment via Visual
Studio which is not feasible in this instance.
Is there a way to enable profiling via the REST API and if so are there any examples or documentation for this? We're using Linq2Azure to access the APIs but we can extend it if necessary.
Thanks
Colin

Hi,
Yes, we can choose enable profiling when we publish an application via visual studio, from my experience, this feature was provided by using the Visual Studio profiler, if we didn’t use visual studio to deploy the application, it is hard to enable profiling.
Refer to

PortalObjectsFactory is not available in the server API

Please tell me where I can find PortalObjectsFactory class. They mentioned this class in the server API documentation but I didn't found this in the actual jar (plumtreeserver.jar)

The vSphere client uses some hidden API's. If you perform an action in the vSphere client that uses a hidden API, Onyx will report the "WARNING: Type 'xxx' is not available in the public API." message. This unfortunately limits what you can do with PowerCLI. Some know hidden API's are for tags, cluster EVC mode and for Storage Profiles.
I don't know if Onyx is still under development. Maybe some from VMware can answer this question?

WARNING: Type 'SByte' is not available in the public API. Onyx development?

Scritping the Restful API in VBA

Hi All,
I´m trying to script calls to the Restful API using VBA . This is the code I´m using :
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Set objhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
   URL = "http://vrt0568.bndes.net:6405/biprws/logon/long"
   objhttp.Open "POST", URL, False
   objhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/xml"
   objhttp.send ("userName=plank&password=Cecili@123&auth=secLDAP")
   I = 1
End Sub
The problem is that I keep receiving a 401 error (unauthorized).
Does anyone knows what I´m doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance,
Rogerio

I posted some real sample code a while back for a completely different function (member renames).
Renaming Existing Member Names
So while you'll have to write the calc modification code yourself (or ask Glenn his rate ;-)), this at least shows you how the initialization / login / termination of the API would work. That's probably the most confusing aspect of using the VB API for the first time anyway.
All that said, if this is from Excel and the user will already be logged in via the Excel Add-In, I believe that you can make life much easier and grab the hCtx directly without any initialization / login/ termination worries. I probably should have done that myself in the example I gave. See Tim Tow's posts in this thread:
API
EDIT: Two things I just noticed - first, the code sample I gave even has an example of polling for ProcState, so that gets you closer than I thought! Second, remembered that the line that reads...
While ProcState.State ESB_STATE_DONE
...should actually have a 'less than / greater than' symbol between ProcState.State and ESB_STATE_DONE. Can't get the forum to display them correctly, even in code tags...

Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

Some objects are no longer available in the universe.(Error: WIS 00001)

We are in the process of upgrading BOXI R2 to R3.1 SP3. Setup, configuration of BOXI R3 on new machine is done. And migrated the reports, universes, users, groups and all repository objects with Import Wizard. everything seems good except few Webi reports pointing to wrong universes and getting the below error message.
"Some objects are no longer available in the universe. See your Business Objects administrator. (Error: WIS 00001)"
1) I deleted the particular report from destination and re imported it but still same issue.
2) deleted the file from Input file store and re imported it still same error I'm getting.
Gurus, Please help me..
Thanks,

if the issues is with one or two reports i would've tried manually editing each report, but here we've this issue with 20+ reports so far..
Just pointing it to right universe won't work, I've to add the missing objects as well. So Its like developing new report.
Thanks!

My purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device.

I'm not sure what I've done but my purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device. They can only be found on Itunes under 'library/tv shows' and 'apple tv/tv shows'. How can I transfer the shows back onto my Apple TV and then erase the files from itunes? Once accomplished, how can I prevent my Apple TV purchses from syncing with my itunes (to save space on itunes, I prefer not to sync purchases from apple tv).
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Welcome to the Apple community.
You haven't done anything wrong, this is the way it is supposed to work. You cannot sync the content back to the Apple TV and then erase it from iTunes because the Apple TV mirrors iTunes, and if it is deleted from iTunes it will also then get deleted from the Apple TV.
You might also see this, however I strongly recommend against it.

Using the REST API for files, how do I get information on all the folders and files in a folder?

I have an app that can successfully get a list of a folders content. However, by default the list is limited to 200 entries. I luckily ran into this limit when getting the list on a folder that contained 226 entries and realized I needed to then request
a list of the next items but it wasn't obvious from the REST API document how to do that. I tried sending the skipToken query parameter and setting it to 0 initially and incrementing each time I sent the request but always got the same 200 items back. So,
how do I get the list of files and folders beyond the initial list?

In SP2013 the skiptoken query parameter does not work with list items. You can look at the link below which discusses using the "__next" parameter.

Hi,
you can create a simple rest api on the Azure cloud, and then try to use fiddler to do some test, so that we can exclude the environment issue.

Error : WIS 00001 - Some objects are no longer available in the universe.

Hi ,
I have performed some manual actions in OLAP universe i.e move and rename of objects. Object works fine when i drop them in "Result Objects" pane.If the same object i drop in "Query filters" and if i select filter option -'value(s) from list' i get the below error:
Error - "Some objects are no longer available in the universe. See your Business objects administrator. (WIS-00001)".
Is it something to do with manual action performed in universe? Please help me ....
Regards,
Pallavi

Hi,
For the objects which you are getting error, do the following in designer
1.select the objects -> go to properties ->check for LOV options i.e if it is disabled then you want get those values so click on edit -> it goes to lov query panel -> run the query and check the lov's for the object-> check export with unv-> save the object n unv & Export the unv->then try it in your report creation.
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.

How to access a sharepoint site via the REST API in Python?

I have the following site:
http://win-5a8pp4v402g/sharepoint_test/site_1/
When I access this from the browser, it prompts me for the username and password and then works fine. However I am trying to do the same using the REST API in Python. I am using the requests library, and this is what I have done:
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
USERNAME = "Administrator"
PASSWORD = "password"
response = requests.get("http://win-5a8pp4v402g/", auth=HTTPBasicAuth(USERNAME, PASSWORD))
print response.status_code
However I get a 401. I dont understand. What am I missing?

Try adding the auhenticatig domain to the username. That may help.
