I am trying to change the Input Controls via the REST API. But I can not get changes to persist. They change for an instant but then revert back to their original values:
How do I get Input Control chages to persist?
Here are the two RESTful calls I am using:
Listing Input Controls
Setting input controls:
The issue is that I can not set input controls permanently.
Here is a run through:
FIRST: List the Input Controls
c:\Users\mverter\Documents>curl -v -u "blahblah:*********" -H"Accept: application/json" "http://blahblahblah/reports/rest_v2/reports/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy/inputControls/"
Result:
{ "inputControl": [{"id": "Branch_Type_1", "description": null, "type": "singleSelect", "uri": "repo:/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy_files/Branch_Type_1", "label": "Branch_Type", "mandatory": false, "readOnly": false, "visible": true, "masterDependencies":[], "slaveDependencies": [], "state": ... {"uri": "/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy_files/Hierarchy1_1", "id": "Hierarchy1_1", "value": null, "error": null, "options":[ { "selected":false, "label":"Region 1", "value":"Region 1" }, { "selected":true, "label":"Region 2", "value":"Region 2" }, { "selected":false, "label":"Region 3", "value":"Region 3" }, { "selected":false, "label":"Region 4", "value":"Region 4" }, { "selected":false, "label":"Region 5", "value":"Region 5" } ] } }, .....
SECOND: Change the Input Controls
curl -v -u "blahblah:*********" -H"Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ Hierarchy1_1: [ 'Region 3' ]}" "http://blahblahblah/reports/rest_v2/reports/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy/inputControls/Hierarchy1_1/"
RESULT:
{ "inputControl": [ { "id": "Hierarchy1_1", "description": null, "type": "multiSelect", "uri": "repo:/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy_files/Hierarchy1_1", "label": "Hierarchy1", "mandatory": false, "readOnly": false, "visible": true, "masterDependencies": [], "slaveDependencies": [], "state": { "uri": "/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy_files/Hierarchy1_1", "id": "Hierarchy1_1", "value": null, "error": null, "options": [ { "selected": false, "label": "Region 1", "value": "Region 1" }, { "selected": false, "label": "Region 2", "value": "Region 2" }, { "selected": true, "label": "Region 3", "value": "Region 3" }, { "selected": false, "label": "Region 4", "value": "Region 4" }, { "selected": false, "label": "Region 5", "value": "Region 5" } ] } } ] }
It looks like Hierarchy1_1 has been set to “Region 3”
THIRD: List the Input Controls again
curl -v -u "blahblah:*********" -H"Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ Hierarchy1_1: [ 'Region 3' ]}" "http://blahblahblah/reports/rest_v2/reports/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy/inputControls/Hierarchy1_1/" curl -v -u "blahblah:*********" -H"Accept: application/json" "http://blahblahblah/reports/rest_v2/reports/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy/inputControls/"
RESULT:
{ "inputControl": [ { "id": "Branch_Type_1", "description": null, "type": "singleSelect", "uri": "repo:/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy_files/Branch_Type_1", "label": "Branch_Type", "mandatory": false, "readOnly": false, "visible": true, "masterDependencies": [], "slaveDependencies": [], "state": { ... "uri": "/Reports/Stock/Views/Sales_Performance_Trend_by_Hierarchy_files/Hierarchy1_1", "id": "Hierarchy1_1", "value": null, "error": null, "options": [ { "selected": false, "label": "Region 1", "value": "Region 1" }, { "selected": true, "label": "Region 2", "value": "Region 2" }, { "selected": false, "label": "Region 3", "value": "Region 3" }, { "selected": false, "label": "Region 4", "value": "Region 4" }, { "selected": false, "label": "Region 5", "value": "Region 5" } ] } },
The change did not persist.
