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
    AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();
rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
rsr.setPassword("test");  
rsr.setOrgId(1);
rsr.setFunction("INFO");


  • Once the request is configured, simply perform the call to test the server:

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

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

 

  • Add the following code to retrieve the response, which will contain the StatusCode.

    Code Block
    languagejava
    if ("SUCCESS".equals(rs.getStatusCode()) ) {
              	out.write("<br>Success");
              	}
              	else {
              	out.write("<br>Failure");
              	out.write(" Code: " + rs.getErrorCode());
              	}
