Dear Radu,

Please see the example below. Draw your attention to the column OpportunityId syntax - Opportunity/Id

http://localhost:8006/0/ServiceModel/EntityDataService.svc/OpportunityF… = Opportunity/Id eq guid'410006e1-ca4e-4502-a9ec-e54d922d2c00'

Question

Bulk update (MERGE) using OData

integration

sam@hq.eximb.com

08:50 Sep 21, 2018

Is it possible to perform bulk update by say utilizing both $filter and MERGE?

I need it to change a number of records with the same value but it would be nice to avoid resolving Id for each one.

Direct approach failed with an error

Query options $select, $expand, $filter, $orderby, $inlinecount, $skip, $skiptoken and $top are not supported by this request method or cannot be applied to the requested resource.

You may reproduce my call by substituting appropriate Id, actually it also should update by primary key but doesn't

url -X MERGE -H 'Content-Type: application/json;odata=verbose' -H 'Accept: application/atom+xml' -i 'http://terapp-t.hq.eximb.com/0/ServiceModel/EntityDataService.svc/Accou? eq '\''648dbb58-2aea-578d-e053-2413a8c01794'\' --data '{Name: '\''Other name'\''}'

Was my syntax incorrect or the whole idea?

Hello,

Unfortunately, one http request can contains only one CRUD operation for Odata, unless using batch.

In order to update the record by primary key, please use the following syntax:

'http://terapp-t.hq.eximb.com/0/ServiceModel/EntityDataService.svc/AccountCollection(guid'648dbb58-2aea-578d-e053-2413a8c01794')'

Question

can you query data using ODATA and filter to records in a specific folder (either Dynamic or Static)?

folders

Brian Morgan

23:04 Jun 25, 2018

we've created folders for subset of contacts. I want to pull those contacts via ODATA. anyway to filter contacts using a specific folder?

I.e. create an ODATA filter like filter=folder eq "VIP Contacts"

Dear Brian,

Instead of ContactCollection, you can use ContactInFolderCollection to retrieve the folder to which the user belongs. For example (GET ServiceModel/EntityDataService.svc/ContactCollection(guid'6f586c21-4b51-42c4-a370-deec97d28c12')/ContactInFolderCollectionByContact)

ContactFolder is the object that contains all folders in case you need to get the particular folder.

Question

Connecting to BPMOnline with SSIS via odata

Allen Dsouza

22:15 Mar 09, 2018

Hello,

Is it possible to use SQLServer Integration Services to pull data from BPMOnline? I tried setting up a connection via the odata connection in SSIS but the connection fails. Screenshot below. Any suggestions to resolve this are highly appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Allen,

The error "401 Unauthorized" usually indicates, that credentials you have inserted are invalid.

Please try to run the following URL in the browser, where Supervisor:Supervisor are your login and password:

If it does let you in, than check the credentials.

You can also catch the request using Telerik Fiddler application and use its parameters to set up SQLServer Integration Services connection.

Anastasia

I tried the Supervisor login and it did not complain about the invalid login. This time it shows a message indicating "Too many automatic redirections were attempted"

13:30 Mar 13, 2018

Dear Allen,

The issue is caused by distributed licenses. Supervisor user does not have a license, therefore, every time you try to login into system, it redirects you to the license manager page.

Please use your credentials of user "Allen Dsouza" in the connection settings. On the other hand, you can distribute licenses for the Supervisor user. In this case you will successfully connect under Supervisor credentials.

Anastasia

ODATA - JSON Format

John Adkins

17:45 Dec 01, 2017

I was wondering where I can find the JSON format or record layout for an odata record in Json format; creating a contact record for example. Can the odata service describe the format?

Thanks

2 comments

John Adkins

18:01 Dec 01, 2017

It seems the basic format is simple, I jump the gun

{

                'Name': 'Test User',

                'Dear': 'TU',

                'Email': 'Tester@TestsMarketNetServices.com',

                'Phone': '6168477992',

                'Notes': 'Testing 123'

    }

Additional question: Can you nest relationships with the same document, like activities or do they have to be created separately?

14:11 Dec 08, 2017

John Adkins,

Yes, you have to create them separately. There is not way to nest relationships.

21:13 Nov 29, 2017

Hi all,

2 days ago I posted asking for odata query with relationship: https://community.bpmonline.com/questions/odata-joins

I solved this issue and I posted a solution for that.

I come back because I made working querys with 1/1 relationship but not 1/n for example the idea is to get all the contacts for a particular account:

I get the attached error.

Do i have an error with the relationship names? It's possible to do in bpm'online ?

Kind regards

14:31 Dec 06, 2017

Dear Uriel,

You can achieve such task by referring to the contact collection, filtering the results by Account Id.

The request line should look like this:

// GET <BPMonline application address>/0/ServiceModel/EntityDataService.svc/ContactCollection?$filter=AccountId eq guid'00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'

You can find more filter usage here:

Also, in case you use $expand in your requests, please, take into account, that in this case OData is limited to not more than13 objects to return (see info box).

Regards,

Anastasia

16:10 Dec 06, 2017

Anastasia, how are you?

thanks for the comment.

We need something different. The query would be from 1 to N, for example from an account bring all contacts as a collection and for each contact for example bring us all the addresses.

Thinking of an XML response we should have something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Response>

<Account>

<Name>Coca Cola</Name>

<Contacts>

<Contact>

<Name>john</Name>

<Addresses>

<Address>234 street</Address>

<Address>2234 street</Address>

</Addresses>

</Contact>

<Contact>

<Name>Peter</Name>

<Addresses>

<Address>234 street</Address>

</Addresses>

</Contact>

<Contact>

<Name>Caroline</Name>

</Contact>

</Contacts>

</Account>

</Response>

thank you very much.

Kind regards

12:44 Dec 08, 2017

Uriel,

Unfortunately, possibility to expand collection is not yet implemented in the system. However, please feel free to use the above mentioned approach, as a workaround.

Hi All!

We need to make the following query in OData using Http request.

SQL query:

select A.FieldZ, B.FieldX

from A inner join B on A.FieldA = B.FieldA

Basically the idea is to get data between relationships por example in one request to get an account including their contacts

if it is possible?

Thank you

Problem to try to implement OData Proxy Class

https://academy.bpmonline.com/documents/technic-sdk/7-10/protection-csr…

19:28 Jun 22, 2017

Good morning,

I'm trying to follow the sample proposed on https://academy.bpmonline.com/documents/technic-sdk/7-10/working-bpmonline-objects-over-odata-protocol-wcf-client

But getting error when try to add the Web reference using the URL, in my case http://10.150.17.28:83/0/ServiceModel/EntityDataService.svc/, it says there not web services availables on this url, what could be missing?, it happens on this bpmonline 7.6 implementation and also on a 7.10 implementation.

The proyect I created to try this is a WCF Service Library, it's ok?

Thanks in advance

21:29 Jun 22, 2017

It's ok. Hovewer, it's not recommended to use WCF in bpm'online. It's much better to use web http requests instead. I understand that it looks like WCF is more comfortable to use because of the proxy class, but it will generate a lot of difficulties in the future.

Please check the attached file. It shows how to create an OData integration via web http requests correctly. The only thing that it missed is CSRF cookie. Please add it on your own.

Thanks Mark, I will try

19:02 Jun 23, 2017

Good morning Mark,

I did some test using your tutorial and Fiddler (very good, thanks!), but now, How can I create a WS to an external app could insert data or query data to/from bpmonline using EntityDataService.svc and AuthService.svc?

Is there another tuto to this stuff?, could you help me please?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Lisa Brown

20:45 Jun 23, 2017

Dear Julio,

You can achieve your task by using the OData intagration. You may find the tutorial here - https://academy.bpmonline.com/documents/technic-sdk/7-10/odata.

Lisa

20:59 Jun 23, 2017

Thanks Lisa, I will try, what kind of proyect I must to start on Visual studio? console?, Web? the module where I must create and insert the code explained in the academy, what kind of module must I add to the proyect?

I did it and get a lot of comiplation errors, I'm using, in this case VS 2015

The sample provided in the academy assumes a lot of steps I didn't know,

Can I work with VS 2017? I understand it doesn't supports OData at this time.

Thanks in advance

Diana Adams

12:12 Jun 29, 2017

Dear Julio,

You can use any type of project, but we recommend to use 'Console' one.

The errors occur because you have to insert a piece of code into the brackets. Please see screenshot below:

http://prntscr.com/fpi5dj

Regarding using VS 2017, I have clarified this issue with our platform team. There is no reasons to consider that it doesn't support Odata.

Best regards,

oData webservice returns 500 internal server error

Stefanie van de Poel

16:03 May 19, 2017

I'm creating an integration to bpm online. So far I have the authentication working!

I received the cookies and added them to the get request. But I receive a 500 internal server error. This is the url I'm calling:

https://acuity.bpmonline.com/ServiceModel/EntityDataService.svc/ContactCollection?selectId,Name

When I look at the response in webview I see the following:

Is there anyone who had the same problem, or can see what I'm doing wrong.
