Instructions

See below for step-by-step instructions on how to perform this call, using a Java example:

titleStep-by-step instructions

  • Define the request for this function, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    themeConfluence
    rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au"); 
rsr.setPassword("test"); 
rsr.setOrgId(1);
rsr.setFunction("GETEXPORTDEPENDENCIES");

  • You may even identify a specific client organization:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    rsr.setOrgRef("org1");

  • Using a ContentResource object, specify details of the content whose dependencies are to be retrieved:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    ContentResource[] cr = new ContentResource[1];
 
cr[0] = new ContentResource();
cr[0].setResourceId(70307);
cr[0].setResourceType("GROUP");
cr[0].setResourceOrgId(1);



  • Then set this object in the request:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    rsr.setContentResources(cr);



  • Once the request is configured, perform the call:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);

    Initialize the Administration web service. Click here to learn how to do this. 

 

  • The response will contain the following elements: StatusCode and ContentResource. (See details in the Response Parameters table above.)
