OVD: RESTful interfaces

Hello
I see references by Mark Wilcox about a RESTful interface to OVD, and how it's possible. References: here and here
Question: Is this a published configuration? I see how to use the HTTP Gateway, and get content via DSML, however, I don't see a RESTful / JSON way of doing this.
Have I missed a function in OVD?
Thank you.

URI templation/parsing for REST interfaces

Hello Folks there,
I am building REST interfaces and got stuck with the following:
abstract relative URI schema: /SERVICE//period;year=XXXX,month=X?repeat=yearly,X
concrete example for the schema above: /myservice/1/period;year=2011,month=12?repeat=yearly,2
In my handler class, I have the following:
handler->attach( iv_template = '/myservice/{usernumber}/period;{year,month}?{repeat}' iv_handler_class = 'myservice' ).
But this URI template seems to be wrong for the above example. What I am trying to get at the end is to be able to access the values of, for example, "year", "month" or "repeat".
How can I modify the template so that it is conform with the above example and, for instance, would allow me to do the following?
REPEAT = MO_REQUEST->GET_URI_QUERY_PARAMETER( 'repeat' ).
I would appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks,
Boldbaatar

When i created the Conditonal branch, its asking for two mandatory properties. One is 'selected path' and the other is 'variable'. My scenario i am trying to base my conditional branch based on relative uri, so i have given './ctx:transport/ctx:request/http:relative-URI/text()' for 'selected path' variable and giving the value 'inbound' for 'variable' property of conditional branch.
i was trying to do this in similar fashion as given in the blog http://blogs.oracle.com/jeffdavies/2009/06/restful_services_with_oracle_s_1.html, only thing is that i am using http:relative-URI rather http:http-method as shown in the blog.
I am geting the following error in exact:
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://localhost:7001/proxy/RESTBasedPS/getGreeting?name=siva
Line Number 1, Column 1:
Please let me know if i am missing something or doing wrong with inbound variable.
Thanks

Cannot register ISE endpoint through External RESTful Interface

The ISE External RESTful Service API says that the endpoint registration request should have an Accept header, but the example given uses a Content-Type header. When I try to use an Accept header, I get a Resource media type exception titled "Wrong media type, check Content-Type request header". Using the Content-Type request header results in a CRUD operation exception titled "Canot find endpoint with ID register". It looks like the server thinks this is an update endpoint request. The update endpoint API also has an Accept header in the description, but a Content-Type header in the example. Detailed information follows

Role Assignment Discovery Issue for Files and Folders through Sharepoint REST services

To preface, I am a decided Sharepoint newbie in every sense. I am trying to use the Sharepoint REST services (Sharepoint 2013) to walk the folder and file structure of my Sharepoint server and, determine as I go, the Role Assignments (and subsequently
Permissions) on those folders and files. I'm using an Administrator credentials and I'm actually able to successfully do it but I've run into some caveats. All the caveats begin with this; when I'm examining a folder, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/ListItemAllFields
I receive either an empty list or an error response doc when following the link supplied for ListItemAllFields. When following that kind of link for folders, I either get:
<d:ListItemAllFields
m:null="true"
/>
or an error response document that says "The object specified does not belong to a list." When I hit the /ListItemAllFields endpoint for files, I receive a response with a link for Role Assignments which subsequently also works and I get the
info I need. So, is this a bug? Why does the link returned from Sharepoint work for files and not folders? So, google, google, google, and I discover that there is another possible way to get at the Role Assignments (and that the object does, indeed, belong
to a list!).
If I know the Title (or the guid) of the folder in question, I can use the following endpoint:
/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')
If I use that endpoint, I get the information I would have expected to get from following /ListItemAllFields and the subsequent Role Assignments links all work and I get what I need. If there's a bug and this is how I have to work around it, that's fine
but I have yet to discover how to dynamically determine the Title of a given folder nor am I sure if all Titles are supposed to be unique within a given Sharepoint server. I'm assuming that the folder name as represented in the server relative URL and the
Title may be different and this is where my newbishness may start to shine if I'm misunderstanding what a "List" is supposed to be in Sharepoint. Anyway, I did find that I could use the Properties endpoint to perhaps get the Title, for example:
/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/cmisdev/Development')/Properties
gives me:
<d:vti_x005f_listtitle>Development</d:vti_x005f_listtitle>
whose value I assume I could then supply to the /GetByTitle endpoint and be golden. However, "vti_x005f_listtitle" just sounds a little too deep to be something I should be relying on but maybe that's kosher. That's part of what I'm trying to
find out. Also, if there is a way to use the Sharepoint REST API to discover the guid of a given object, then I could look it up in that way.
So, in summary:
1. Am I going about getting folder Role Assignment information in the wrong way? Based on the CSOM examples I've seen, I believe I'm doing it correctly and that the answer to #2 below is a resounding "Yes!" :)
2. Is it a bug if I'm not able to use /ListItemAllFields on folders using the server relative url?
3. If I'm supposed to use GetByTitle as a workaround, am I discovering that Title correctly through /Properties? Seems quite circuitous and awkward. Are Titles required to be unique throughout a given Sharepoint server?
4. If I'm supposed to use the guid, how can I use the REST interface to discover an object's guid? Once we get down to the Role Assignments and other links, the guid appears in those links but I don't know how to discover it independently if that's the
path I should use to get the data I described above.

Upon further research, I'll answer my own question for the benefit of some other potential future newbie. The answer to question number 1 above is "Not exactly.". The server relative URLs I was using corresponded to lists (which are
returned as a collection through /_api/web/lists). I was treating them mentally like regular folders. That, coupled with the fact that accessing their data as I showed above returns a ListItemAllFields link, made me think that was the way to get
the Role Assignments just as I would for files and, as it turns out, "real" folders and sub-folders created under these lists. That was the other problem with thinking of these lists as regular folders. So, ListItemAllFields works on
all files and folders in a list. However, if you want Role Assignments for the lists themselves, you can keep track of the Titles and\or Guids from the /_api/web/lists that you're interested in (in my case, all non-hidden "document library"
type lists) and then access those Role Assignments as I discussed in questions 3 and 4 above. For example, from the /_api/web/lists collection from my test server, the "Development" document library Role Assignments are accessable via /_api/Web/Lists(guid'cd242eeb-aafa-4efa-aecc-9bbdf8e3d459')/RoleAssignments
or /_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Development')/RoleAssignments.

Rest API v1 Getting Error 400 bad Request

Hi,
we have a very strange problem. We are using a custom JAVA WebDynpro UI for doing our approval workflows, and are making an upgrade from NW Version 7.0 to 7.31 (finally ). We have upgraded the DEV System without any troubles everything works fine with NW 7.31.
In the PROD IDM we have this scenario:
We have a Sandbox NW UI that was now upgraded to 7.31 and the PROD UI which still runs on 7.0. Both UIs have the PROD IDM DB linked.
There are several approval steps with a custom Request Object in our workflows.
Some approval steps work without any problems with the 7.31 UI, but in some steps we geht the Error 400 bad request from the REST Interface.
When I approve the same approval with the 7.0 UI it works fine. We also debugged the REST Call, which is sent to the rest service and can't find any differences, it looks like this:
http://<hostsbx>/idmrest/v72alpha/approvals/1568881/entries/545283/tasks/101870?APPROVED=TRUE which does not work
and
http://<hostprd>/idmrest/v72alpha/approvals/1568881/entries/545283/tasks/101870?APPROVED=TRUE which does work
There are other tasks which work with both UIs.
What else could we check?
BR,
Andreas

Hi,
thanks we also made the changes described in the note, which works on DEV fine.
It is strange that one approval task works and the other not, so I think the problem might not be in the NW Configuration?
BR,
Andreas

Infopath 2013/REST Web Service - XML Data format

I've created an Infopath 2013 form and connected it to an existing REST Web Service. The form connects successfully, but I can't get to the nodes that contain the actual data. The REST results look like this:
<wddxPacket version='1.0'>
<header/>
<data>
<struct>
<var name='MIDDLENAME'><string>S</string></var>
<var name='FIRSTNAME'><string>John</string></var>
<var name='UID'><string>jdoe</string></var>
<var name='EMAIL'><string>[email protected]</string></var>
<var name='DEPARTMENT'><string>IT ADMINISTRATION</string></var>
<var name='TITLE'><string>Director</string></var>
<var name='LASTNAME'><string>Doe</string></var>
</struct>
</data>
</wddxPacket>
When I connect to the web service in InfoPath, here is what I see:
Notice that when we expand the tree, it only shows the "struct" node. How do I get down to the actual data fields?
Thanks in advance.
cflbasser

Hi cflbasser ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to query data using rest web service in InfoPath 2013.
For achieving your demand, please refer to the blog:

JavaScript Call into RESTful service from a remote web page

I am trying to insert a SharePoint list item title into non-SharePoint web page.
Using the following script:
$.support.cors = true;
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax(
url: "https://mysite/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Testing Issues List')/items(5)?$select=Title",
type: "GET",
headers: { "accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success : function (data) {
$('#intext').append(data.d.Title);
error: function (err) {
alert(JSON.stringify(err));
When I run it, I receive the following error:
Error: Access Denied
While I generally understand that I need to provide some authentication, I cannot find anywhere how to do it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

To authenticate:
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/79803/how-to-authenticate-user-in-sharepoint-online-using-javascript
ar soapDataString = "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> \

// Call web service
$.ajax({

dataType: "xml",
data: soapDataString,
success: resultsFeedback,
contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""
function resultsFeedback(xData, status) {
alert(xData);
alert(status);
you can of course use a variety of methods to get sharepoint's list data - for example using the REST interface:
function getListItem(url, listname, id, complete, failure) {
$.ajax({
url: url + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listname + "')/items(" + id + ")",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
complete(data);
error: function (data) {
failure(data);

Using REST-based data in SolMan

Hi,
In the [Apache Project ESME|http://incubator.apache.org/esme], we have made JMX-based data available via a REST interface. This is partially related to restrictions that are present in many cloud-based environments. We are looking to see how existing enterprise monitoring systems might be able to use this data.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use REST-based data in SolutionManager?
Thanks.

Hi Alfred
I tried to use nested tables and varrays in forms several times but also wasn't able to do so. The problem is that on the client side there are not all the PL/SQL 8 features implemented. Look what the manual says:
"Not all Oracle8 features are currently supported across this release.
The major unsupported features are:
- Collection types (nested tables and
varying arrays, or varrays)
- Stored procedures that return object
values
- Scalar datatypes NCHAR and NVARCHAR2
You should also be aware that, although this release does support PL/SQL 8, client-side PL/SQL 8 does not yet fully support all the features in the Oracle8 Server. (Server-side PL/SQL 8 support is complete.)"
So you'll have to wait for the next release or a patch I guess. Please correct me if I am mistake.
Hope this was kind of useful

PI Integration Engine RUNTIME LOGGING_SYNC for individual Interfaces

Hello Colleagues,
the Integration Engine Configuration parameter (SXMB_ADM) RUNTIME, LOGGING_SYNC, 0 is an global parameter and active for all sync. interfaces.
Is there a different configuration available/possible for control individual interfaces.
That means, we need to activate syc. logging for less important interfaces, for the rest interfaces (with high rate of transfer) disable logging.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jochen

Many thanks Amit and Shabarish,
for reply!
The Blog "XI/PI: Personalized logging & tracing" from Michal was already known.
Under "Error Analisys Settings" your are able to set only a less number of "conditions" like Username, Client, MessageID, QOS and QueueID. These conditions are not really usable to control individual interfaces.
Maybe .... If logging is deactivated then it can be reactivated with a message. To do this the logging tag in the diagnostic header of the message must be set to 1 .... this is a possible way for individual control of interfaces?
Regards,
Jochen

REST Query to Get Content Type Name

I'm just getting started learning to use the SharePoint REST interface. One of the first things I'd like to do is return the content type name for a list item in a document library (the document library is configured with several content types). From
what I've read, it looks like I need to use the $expand query option. So, my REST query looks like this:
http://localhost/_api/web/lists/Documents/Items()?&$select=ContentType/Name&$expand=ContentType/Name
But it's not working. I can't "dig" out the content type name property. In other words the $expand query option is not working. I just receive the following which includes a link to the content type:
<entry m:etag=""2"">
<id>4078e129-ac4b-44b8-b469-bcc083f2268d</id>
<category term="SP.Data.DocumentsItem" scheme="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/scheme" />
<link rel="edit" href="Web/Lists(guid'cd710fd1-057e-4ee7-b0bd-1f014218ea3e')/Items(36)" />
<link rel="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/related/ContentType" type="application/atom+xml;type=entry" title="ContentType" href="Web/Lists(guid'cd710fd1-057e-4ee7-b0bd-1f014218ea3e')/Items(36)/ContentType"
/>
<title />
<updated>2013-04-12T00:16:26Z</updated>
<author>
<name />
</author>
<content type="application/xml" />
</entry>
I've tried difference variations and if I just use "$expand=ContentType" then I get all the list items with the content type fully expanded within each item.
What am I missing?

It's been awhile since this question got asked, but I figured i'd post for anyone who happens to stumble
on it.
Try this:
http://localhost/_api/web/lists/Documents/Items(<item
id>)/ContentType?$select=Name

How to use RESTful Web Services provided from BO Enterprise

Hi Experts,
i am trying to use the Web Service "BIPLATFORM" provided by BusinessObjects Enterprise. As I have trouble reading the WSDL i tried to use the REST interface.
Unfortunatally I cannot find any Docu about that in the internet.
Does anybody have experience in using the BIPLATFORM web service?
Thank you in advance

Thank you very much for your instant answer and help!
I got it now: "no rest in biplatform service"
What made me think REST is possible was only the following entry in ...\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\conf\axis2.xml
"
- 
- 
- 
- 
- 
<parameter name="disableREST" locked="true">false</parameter>
- 
Anyway I was only hoping to get REST work as the WSDL provided by BusinessObjects Enterprise is not valid to be parsed by SAP Netweaver ABAP SOAP Runtime...
I regret but i have to add: The fact that the web service is only meant to work with certain consumers shows that the people responsible have little to no understanding what the idea of SOAP, SOA and WSDL really is. On the one hand SAP was always pushing their ESOA idea but on the other hand we got this strange limitations like "only for these clients..."
This is exactly the opposite of the SOAP-idea:
"The framework has been designed to be independent of any particular programming model and other implementation specific semantics." - http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-soap12-part1-20070427/

XML/HTTP interface for AccessManager 7.1

Hello,
I'm using the XML/HTTP interface of Access Manager 7.1
(such as: http://server_name.domain_name:port/service_deploy_uri/authservice)
and it works fine, not only the interface for authservice
but policyservice and sessionservice. This is good.
(For some reason I can't use Java/C API, nor the policy agent)
Problem is, I couldn't find any description about the XML/HTTP interface for policyservice and sessionservice in the Access Manager 7.1 documents.
(for authservice, I found at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4675/adufv?a=view
and
http://docs.sun.com/source/817-7644/appB_sessionlifecycle.html
though the latter one is the document for older version of Access Manager)
Is there any documents for XML/HTTP interface of Access Manager 7.1?
or, officially we should not use this interface?
Windsor

Thanx again. We will continue to use Access Manager 7.1 for a certain period of time so we can't use REST interfaces nor Identity Services.
If we can use these XML/HTTP interface in AM7.1, we will be very happy. Otherwise we have to build a proxy server (talk to Access Manager by C API and talk to clients by XML/HTTP way) but technically it seems completely wasteful because you can talk to Access Manager by XML/HTTP directly.
Is it possible to get any (paid) support
about these XML/HTTP interfaces from Sun Microsystems?
(we don't need any "version-up" support, but just only AM7.1 support for these interfaces)

Using REST to approve a list item

I am pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I am hoping someone here can say if its a bug or not and maybe get some visibility in MS on this issue.
I am trying to approve a list item via JavaScript using the REST interface. I know how to do it with CSOM, but in this scenario I am crossing site collection boundaries and CSOM won't let you do that. I have
tried setting _ModerationStatus, _moderationstatus, ows_ModerationStatus, and 'Approval Status' to 0 but I keep getting an error that the column is not a valid column on the list item type. Does anyone know of something special that can be done to get to some
of the 'special' fields on a list item? My test code for reference.
function example() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
processData: false,
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("If-Match", "*");
xhr.setRequestHeader("X-HTTP-Method", 'MERGE');
url: "http://myserver/sites/full/path/to/site/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/MyList(1)",
data: "{'ows_ModerationStatus':0}",
dataType: "json",
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.status + ": " + xhr.statusText);
success: function () {
alert("success");
The exact error I am getting is:
"Error processing request stream. The property name 'ows_ModerationStatus' specified for type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.DataService.MyCustomItem' is not valid."

Hi,
For your requirement, you can use the Lists Web Service to update the moderation status field for a specific list item with the Moderate operation.
UpdateListItems method

SharePoint 2013 REST API with C# - Mapping HTTP verbs to data operations - Requesting FormDigest

SharePoint REST interface maps HTTP verbs to data operations. Endpoints that represent
Read operations map to HTTP
GET commands. Endpoints that represent update operations map to HTTP
POST commands, and endpoints that represent update or insert operations map to HTTP
PUT commands (Ref:
How to: Complete basic operations using SharePoint 2013 REST endpoints).
Is this mapping of HTTP verbs to CRUD operations a design paradigm or whether there are other technical reasons to this mapping
Is is possible to use a GET command for say an update operation or a POST for say a read operation.If so, what consideration make the choice of either usage
In the code snippet below FormDigest is requested as POST, why not use GET here?
private static string GetFormDigest(string webUrl)
//Validate input
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(webUrl) || String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(webUrl))
return String.Empty;
//Create REST Request
Uri uri = new Uri(webUrl + "/_api/contextinfo");
HttpWebRequest restRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
restRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
restRequest.Method = "POST";
restRequest.ContentLength = 0;
//Retrieve Response
HttpWebResponse restResponse = (HttpWebResponse)restRequest.GetResponse();
XDocument atomDoc = XDocument.Load(restResponse.GetResponseStream());
XNamespace d = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices";
//Extract Form Digest
return atomDoc.Descendants(d + "FormDigestValue").First().Value;
Thanks - Abhishek

Many SharePoint REST api methods use parameters. It is much more efficient to post parameters than use query string variables. Many times complex types are sent and these require json notation objects posted in the body. In the case of "_api/contextinfo,
it is recommended to use POST rather than a GET when using sensitive data. GET responses can be cached. Since you are getting a security token back in that call it is recommended to use a POST.

Rest API Error

I need to access the REST interface for a document library.
http://intranet/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/DocumentLibrary/
This did work but has recently been giving an error. IE doesn't display the page at all, but chrome gives a lot more information.
IE:
The following tags were not closed: feed.
Line: 0 Character: 0
Chrome:
<m:error>
<m:code></m:code>
<m:message xml:lang="en-GB">An error occurred while processing this request.</m:message>
</m:error>
I have noticed if I add a filter to only display the top 845 entries the page loads correctly. Which makes me this the 846th document in the library is causing the problems. How do I troubleshoot this?
$top=845

Hi,
According to your description, there is an issue when calling REST interface in SharePoint 2010.
I would suggest you log some information to the console of the browser which should help to analyze the execution of the code during the request.
A working demo for your reference:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var listUrl = 'http://sp/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/List1?$top=846';
$.getJSON(listUrl, function(data) {
console.log(data);
</script>
Or you can use Fiddler to monitor the request, it will give you more details about what would cause the error.
Feel free to reply if there any progress.
Thanks
