InstructionsSee below for step-by-step instructions on how to perform this call, using a Java example: Define the request for this function, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:
AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();
rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au");
rsr.setPassword("test");
rsr.setOrgId(new Integer(1));
rsr.setFunction("LISTDATASOURCES"); |
Provide the new licence for your instance. The licence will be a byte array; you can encode it to Base64 and use the util method to convert it. byte[] lic = com.hof.util.Base64.decode("Base64 Encoded String of licence file");
rsr.setBinaryData(lic); |
Once the request is configured, perform the call:
AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr); |
Initialize the Administration web service. Click here to learn how to do this.
