REST API to get and update Task Data

On CPSC 9.4.1 R2, I am unable to find any REST API operation to get and update task data details (all the service form and dictionary fields).
Task operations only return limited task meta-data not the details of the task/requisition data submitted, fields, etc.
Does anyone know if such thing exist?
Thanks.

Hi Rakesh,
To enable anonymous Search REST queries, we need to create queryparametertemplate.xml and upload it to the correct library in SharePoint.
From your description I can know that you have created the file, then I recommend to check the things below:
Please use “QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl” instead of “queryparametertemplate” in the Search REST API query as following: &QueryTemplatePropertiesUrl='spfile://webroot/queryparametertemplate.xml'.
Make sure that the Query Properties you need have been added to the QueryProperties element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file.
Make sure that the query parameters you need have been added to the WhiteList element in the
queryparametertemplate.xml file. For example, if you want to use Refiners in the REST API, then the Refiners should be added to the
WhiteList element in the queryparametertemplate.xml file as following:
<a:string>Refiners</a:string>.
You can also debug setting properties in anonymous Search Rest queries following the link below:

How to use search REST api to get custom managed property data for anonymous user?

I am trying build a public portal with anonymous access and i am trying to read some
content from custom managed property using search REST api in sharepoint 2013. I have tried to enable all possible attributes of the managed prop. Like searchable,queryable,safe etc. also i am including queryparametertemplate in my REST api search query. But
still i am not able to retrieve the managed prop. For an anonymous user. The same query returns the value if i am logged in.
Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Retrieve and update dynamic data

Dear
Please advise if ECM provides the ability to retrieve and update dynamic data on demand to ensure the user’s content is current
Thanks

The Question is quite vague. Very hard to answer a question when you do not know what they are asking.
As to automatic indexing and updates of data to files and the impact of indexing:
A file checked into UCM server is indexed based upon the system setting. A server could be set to DATABASE.METADATA indexing or some kind of full text indexing. Either way if a file is checked into the Content Server the file gets indexed. If any metadata is changed by a later update the index is indeed updated automatically. If the file in a full text indexed system has a set of text edited or a totally different file is checked in the index is updated automatically also.

Create, get and update web service context mapping

Hello,
I think I have a pretty common problem. I will explain it with a simple example:
I have a car object, with the attributes id, name and speed.
I have three web services: create, get and update
I have a view with the input fields id, name and speed
How to do the context mapping?
When creating a car it would be good if input fields would be mapped to the create service, when getting a car it would be nice if the input fields would be mapped to the get service....
How to deal with this situation? Do I have to create 3 views?
Thanks!
Felix

Hello Martin,
thnks a ton for your replies.
The '.' is a standard thing.
Its the part of the WSDL file which is a standard WSDL file for a service offered for a standard SAP BAPI. So i haven't changed anything.
Its what is standardly available. So i cant anything on that.
And the response element is not below the bapi node.
The name of the root node of the BAPI return context is
"BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATEFROMDATA2.Response"
This is what is causing the problem.
Please note here that '.' is not responsible for any hierarchy. Its the name of one single root node element.

Update List Items using REST API - Keep Getting 400 Bad Request

I am using code from the following answer:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/40833576-5853-4ca4-95cf-b5b1d69f465f/sharepoint-rest-and-c-sample-to-update-list-item?forum=sharepointdevelopment
I am having a tough time figuring out the issue though. I have been able to retrieve list items, but now I want to update those items. This is the following code just to get the digest information with passing in credentials:
public static string GetFormDigest(System.Net.NetworkCredential cred)
string formDigest = null;
string resourceUrl = "https://SITEURL/_api/contextinfo";
HttpWebRequest wreq = HttpWebRequest.Create(resourceUrl) as HttpWebRequest;
wreq.Credentials = cred;
wreq.Method = "POST";
wreq.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
wreq.ContentLength = 0;
wreq.ContentType = "application/json";
string result;
WebResponse wresp = wreq.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wresp.GetResponseStream()))
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var val = jss.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(result);
var d = val["d"] as Dictionary<string, object>;
var wi = d["GetContextWebInformation"] as Dictionary<string, object>;
formDigest = wi["FormDigestValue"].ToString();
Console.WriteLine(formDigest);
return formDigest;
Then the following code is used:
string result = string.Empty;
Uri uri = new Uri(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "/_api/Web/lists/getByTitle('DemoList')/items(1)");
HttpWebRequest wreq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
wreq.Credentials = cred;
wreq.Method = "POST";
wreq.Accept = "application/json; odata=verbose";
wreq.ContentType = "application/json; odata=verbose";
wreq.Headers.Add( "X-HTTP-Method","MERGE");
wreq.Headers.Add( "IF-MATCH", "*");
wreq.Headers.Add("X-RequestDigest", GetFormDigest(cred));
string stringData = "{'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Data.DemoListListItem' }, 'Title': 'updated!'}";
wreq.ContentLength = stringData.Length;
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(wreq.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(stringData);
writer.Flush();
try {
WebResponse wresp2 = wreq.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wresp2.GetResponseStream()))
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: '{0}'", e); }
It errors out when it tries to send the command to Sharepoint. I am NOT using a sharepoint hosted app. I just wanted to directly contact sharepoint and update items. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Priyank

I just found some other code that seemed to work on editing a title and edited it kind of guessing it would work and it did!
This is the code that ended working using the same digest code from above:
Console.WriteLine("\n Newer Fancier Code \n");
Uri uri = new Uri("https://SHAREPOINTURL/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Demo')/items(1)");
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
request.ContentType = "application/json;odata=verbose";
request.Headers["X-RequestDigest"] = GetFormDigest(cred);
request.Headers["X-HTTP-Method"] = "MERGE";
request.Headers["IF-MATCH"] = "*";
request.Credentials = cred;
request.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
request.Method = "POST";
string stringData = "{ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.ListItem' }, 'Location': 'updatedinfo' }";
request.ContentLength = stringData.Length;
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(stringData);
writer.Flush();
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
Just fyi if anyone was wondering. Next, I'm going to be trying to update multiple fields, possibly multiple items if possible if anyone knows how to do that.

Is there any REST API to get all the Site and site Collections from Sharepoint Online

Hi,
I have one SharePoint Online tenant. We are using REST API to integrate SharePoint to our internal System.
For my use case I need to get all the SharePoint sites ans Sitecollections. From each SiteCollection I need all the subsites under this.
I have used below REST Query
http://<Base site url>/_api/web
This doesn't give me all the Site collections
Could any one please give me some way to get all the Site collections and sites from my sharepoint tenant through REST API.
Thanks,

Hi Abhiram,
There seems no such endpoint in SharePoint REST API can retrieve a list of site collections in a SharePoint Online tenant:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj860569.aspx#Reference
If Client Object Model can be an option for you, you can use Tenant object to achieve what you want:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/24050.perform-basic-admin-operations-using-csom-in-sharepoint-online.aspx#Scenario_3_Fetch_All_Site_Collections
Anyway, I would suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of REST API of Office 365 SharePoint
Online:
http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
It
is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Office 365 REST API - Mail, Calendar, Contacts Update

UPDATE: We have announced General Availability of our REST APIs. The refreshed documentation which covers all the changes and much more is now available
here.
I wanted to share an update on our Mail, Calendar, Contacts REST API. Over the last few months we have been heads down updating the APIs. Most of the changes are a direct result of all the great feedback that we have received from
customers like you and we are very excited about sharing these changes.
These changes are starting to light up in the service and we have already received questions/comments about them from some of you.
Some of these changes are not backward compatible.
Due to versioning not yet implemented (but coming soon!), and these API’s being in preview, they might require simple updates to your code.
 Once versioning is in place, introducing non-backward compatible changes won’t impact your existing code.
Stay tuned for a full list of these changes along with the refreshed documentation and client libraries.
We have received a number of questions on some specific changes which I wanted to share a workaround for:
1. Folder names after ../ews/odata/Me, such as Inbox, SentItems, DeletedItems, Drafts will additionally require a “Folders” in front of them in the URL.
REST URL:
Before :
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/Inbox
Now :
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/Folders/Inbox
.Net code sample:
var messageResultsBefore = await (from i in client.Me.Inbox.Messages select i).ExecuteAsync();
var messageResultsNow = await (from i in client.Me.Folders.GetById("Inbox").Messages select i).ExecuteAsync();
2. The Namespace has been updated from "#Microsoft.Exchange.Services.OData.Model" to “Microsoft.OutlookServices” and hence the fully qualified type names have to be updated to reflect that. In most cases though, you do not need to provide the odata.type
property as we can infer it based on where you make the post. For example, if you POST to ../Me/Contacts, we know you are trying to create a contact.
3. Contacts changes: To make the API easier to use, we have replaced EmailAddress1, EmailAddress2, EmailAddress3 with a collection of a new type called EmailAddress. We have similarly also changed BusinessPhones, HomePhones to collections.
Sample payload showing how to create a contact with EmailAddresses and BusinessPhones:
"GivenName": "John",
"EmailAddresses": [
"Address": "[email protected]",
"Name": "John"
"BusinessPhones": [
"123-456-7890"
4. Event Changes: The property Attendees now includes the type “EmailAddress”.
Sample Event payload showing how to create an Event.
"Subject": "Discuss the Calendar REST API",
"Body": {
"ContentType": "HTML",
"Content": "I think it will meet our requirements!"
"Start": "2014-07-02T18:00:00Z",
"End": "2014-07-02T19:00:00Z",
"Location": {
"DisplayName": "Conference Room 1"
"ShowAs": "Busy",
"Attendees": [
"EmailAddress": {
"Name":"Alex Darrow",
"Address": "[email protected]"
"Type": "Required"
"EmailAddress": {
"Name": "Anne Wallace",
"Address": "[email protected]"
"Type": "Optional"
"EmailAddress": {
"Name": "Conference Room 1",
"Address": "[email protected]"
"Type": "Resource"
5. We have introduced a simple API for sending email called SendMail, and have removed the custom parameter MessageDisposition which was difficult to understand and discover.
The sendmail action, takes two parameters, a required parameter which is the Message itself and an optional parameter, "SaveToSentItems" which by default is set to true.
Sample Request to create and send email with one call:
POST:
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/me/sendmail
"Message":{
"Subject": "Have you seen this new Mail REST API?",
"Importance": "High",
"Body": {
"ContentType": "HTML",
"Content": "It looks awesome!"
"ToRecipients": [{
"EmailAddress": {
"Name": "John Doe",
"Address": "[email protected]"

Hi,
I was trying to create and update the calendar event using [POST] https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/events and [PATCH] https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/events/<eventId> respectively.
When i try with poster or postman, I get this error
{error: {code: "ErrorInvalidRequest" message: "Cannot read the request body."} }
its not working . Any help will be appreciated.
Note: GET events and DELETE Events are working. I think the API with payload is not working.

Can I force UWL iview to get the updated task items when first visit

Hi all:
We are implementing EP7 on aix. Currently UWL iView will not display the updated items when first click on. Only when I click on the tasks tab, it will display the updated items. I change set keepItemCountUpdated tag to Yes, but it doesnot work.
Can we force the UWL iview to connect to backend to get the updated items when it is first launch ?

Have a look at the properties of the UWL iView, for example "Wait duration before calling providers on loading of UWL" and similar properties.
You could try setting these to lower numbers to hurry up the initial update.......

you help point me to what I need to do? i have been reading and

example of the database:
ID - Username - Password - FirstName - LastName - Phone.
I want a user to log in and after their username and password

1. Create a page with a with a form and fields for each of
the values you
want to update.
2. Pre-populate these fields with the current values, either
from the
database or from the whatever variable stores the user's
login information.
3. Add an "update record" server behavior to the page.

I can not boot my MacBook Pro. How do I get and save the data that is not backed up??

I can not boot my MacBook Pro running on Lion 10.7.4. I pressed control, comment P and R keys and O got to the disk utility, then I tried to repair disk and it can not be repaired. I get a message that tells me to back up as much data as possible ?. But if I can not open the computer how can I save my data??
I have a back up until 2 weeks ago on time machine. but the work of the last 2 weeks is extremely important how can I get it??
If I use m time machine backup do I loose the additional data of the last two weeks!,
Please help.. It's a huge amount of work that I have done and can not loose it

If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

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
