DSS REST API on GUI

Hi,

This question is from Hitachi.

They are trying to programme REST API for DSS.

Can they export DSS GUI settings such as Report template/Schedules and import them for REST API?

To my understanding, they cannot do so, but their developer thought they should be able to.

Sorry for basic question, but can you pls advise?

Regards,

Hiroko

  • Hi Hiroko,

    For Schedule extraction, the Report template, Schedule and Instrument List are stored in the server. They can be managed and accessed via either DSS GUI or REST API. REST API calls allow you to control the workflow just like you
    would using the GUI. In other words, the API allows you to mimic the
    web GUI. This means that the Report template, Schedule and Instrument List created by GUI can be used by REST API or vice versa.

    Please see the GUI control calls: immediate extract tutorial for more information.
