ECMS - Integration Server Web Services Examples

This document explains shows examples for using Perceptive Content Integration Server for using RESTful web services calls to manipulate Imaging System documents.

Integration Server

Follows is a process for using Perceptive Content Integration Service to find Document IDs to allow manipulation of the document (view, modify IndexKeys, etc.). It does not show doing such modifications, just the sequence of SOAP/REST/Web services calls to get a document's DocID.

Integration Server provides NO mechanism that exposes Workflow Queue contents. One must create a view that exposes a workflow queue, then use that view to find documents in the queue. Thus a View is required for use of Integration Server. The Imaging Team, or a lcoal contact with Department Leas privileges can manage view using the Management Console. A View in this context is similar to a database view - a saved query that return filtered data (see the item below that explains the "A_GRAD_Warrants_DocID_Only" view).

Testing below done using "Advanced REST Client" in Google Chrome browser. The GET line is the web service string sent to Integration Server. The XML data is the returned response to the IS query.

NOTE: This documentation includes data from REAL Imaging System documents; please be mindful about this and act wisely and with appropriate precautions.

  2. Production View against queue "Grad_Warrant approved" - A_GRAD_Warrants_DocID_Only

    1. view/321Z165_01V8SGTN00002JR
    2. Three columns:
      1. Workflow Queue
      2. Type
      3. DocumentID
    3. Query is: Drawer is equal to "GRAD_Warrant approved" AND Created within is equal to 180 [days]
  3. Docs are currently in "GRAD wrnt apvd: ARCHIVE"

  4. Testing view against queue "zNAKGrad_Testing" - A_GRAD_Warrants_DocID_Test_ZNAKQueue

    1. view/321Z19F_01WDG1V1C00003H
  5. Using these credentials; the developer will need to use UID/PWD provided by the Imaging Team which include proper security to scope access to Imaging System data and files

    Content-Type: test/plain
    Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
    
  6. Test connection

    Content-Type: test/plain
    Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
    GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/connection/
    
  7. Returns

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <connectionStatus>
    <version>7.2.2.295</version>
    </connectionStatus>
    
  8. Get view IDs

    Content-Type: test/plain
    Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
    GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/view/
    
  9. Returns LONG XML of Views, but it has the View we want for TEST/PROD. Have to match/parse/search <name>_value_</name> against the desired view to get <id>_value_</id> of same; XML data manipulation tools could come in handy here, or a brute search for <name>A_GRAD_Warrants_DocID_Only</name> to then get the <id> immediately above the <name>: <id>321Z165_01V8SGTN00002JR</id>

    1. PROD

      <view>
      	<id>321Z165_01V8SGTN00002JR</id>
      	<name>A_GRAD_Warrants_DocID_Only</name>
      	<description>View to show DocID for eWarrants for Integration Server webservices use</description>
      	<category>DOCUMENT</category>
      	<classifier>NONE</classifier>
      	<hasFilters>false</hasFilters>
      </view>
      
    2. TEST - This is the view for testing work in TEST against the zNAKGrad Testing queue: <id>321Z19F_01WDG1V1C00003H</id>

      <view>
      	<id>321Z19F_01WDG1V1C00003H</id>
      	<name>A_GRAD_Warrants_DocID_Test_ZNAKQueue</name>
      	<description>View to show DocID for eWarrants for Integration Server webservices use</description>
      	<category>DOCUMENT</category>
      	<classifier>NONE</classifier>
      	<hasFilters>false</hasFilters>
      </view>
      
  10. Get View Configuration data to confirm that the column with the needed value is exposed, in this case, DocumentID

    Content-Type: test/plain
    Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
    GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/view/321Z165_01V8SGTN00002JR?category=DOCUMENT
    
  11. Returns a LONG XML of all configurations for the view

    1. PROD

      <view>
      	<id>321Z165_01V8SGTN00002JR</id>
      	<name>A_GRAD_Warrants_DocID_Only</name>
      	<description>View to show DocID for eWarrants for Integration Server webservices use</description>
      	<category>DOCUMENT</category>
      	<autoRun>true</autoRun>
      	<classifier>NONE</classifier>
      	<searchPrompts />
      	<filters />
      	<columns>
      		[With LOTS of values before the end of the XML data; none of which match the three columns of the actual View]
      	</columns>
      </view>
      
    2. The columns appear to be:

      <column>
      	<columnId>20</columnId>
      	<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      	<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      	<name>Workflow Queue</name>
      	<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
      	<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      	<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      	<width>20.0</width>
      </column>
      <column>
      	<columnId>6</columnId>
      	<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      	<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      	<name>Type</name>
      	<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
      	<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      	<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      	<width>20.0</width>
      </column>
      <column>
      	<columnId>8</columnId>
      	<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      	<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      	<name>Document ID</name>
      	<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
      	<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      	<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      	<width>20.0</width>
      </column>
      
    3. There is no apparent method for determining position in the XML data. So, use XML data parsing magic or search for <name>_value_</name> to find the <columnId>_value_</columnId> (the XML has the <columnID> and <name> several rows apart)

    4. In this case the three values are:

      1. Workflow Queue = ID 20
      2. Type = ID 6
      3. Document ID = ID 8
    5. Here is the same for the TEST testing View against the ZNAKGrad_Testing queue

      Content-Type: test/plain
      Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
      GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/view/321Z19F_01WDG1V1C00003H?category=DOCUMENT
      <column>
      	<columnId>20</columnId>
      	<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      	<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      	<name>Workflow Queue</name>
      	<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
      	<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      	<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      	<width>20.0</width>
      </column>
      <column>
      	<columnId>6</columnId>
      	<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      	<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      	<name>Type</name>
      	<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
      	<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      	<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      	<width>20.0</width>
      </column>
      <column>
      	<columnId>8</columnId>
      	<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      	<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      	<name>Document ID</name>
      	<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
      	<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      	<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      	<width>20.0</width>
      </column>
      
    6. Same IDs

      1. Workflow Queue = ID 20
      2. Type = ID 6
      3. Document ID = ID 8
  12. Get IDs of documents shown by the View, reference the <name>Document ID</name> from the last step for the <id>_value_</id> that goes into the Request Body.

  13. Request Body format provided by Karen Lynch (Lexmark) to the Raw payload section. Request Body:

    <viewParameters>
    	<columnSelectors>
    		<columnSelector>
    			<id>8</id>
    			<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
    			<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
    		</columnSelector>
    	</columnSelectors>
    </viewParameters>
    
  14. NOTE: ?category=DOCUMENT is required (even though the documentation says it is optional)

    Content-Type: application/xml
    Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
    POST https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v2/view/321Z165_01V8SGTN00002JR/result?category=DOCUMENT
    
    1. If NO docs, result is:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
      <viewResults>
      	<resultColumns>
      		<resultColumn>
      			<id>8</id>
      			<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      			<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      			<name>Document ID</name>
      			<sortOrder>0</sortOrder>
      			<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      			<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      			<width>20.0</width>
      		</resultColumn>
      	</resultColumns>
      	<resultRows />
      	<hasMore>false</hasMore>
      </viewResults>
      
    2. With a doc in the queue, call returns

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
      <viewResults>
      	<resultColumns>
      		<resultColumn>
      			<id>8</id>
      			<dataType>STRING</dataType>
      			<displayType>VISIBLE</displayType>
      			<name>Document ID</name>

      			<sortDirection>ASCENDING</sortDirection>
      			<groupOrder>0</groupOrder>
      			<width>20.0</width>
      		</resultColumn>
      	</resultColumns>
      	<resultRows>
      		<resultRow>
      			<fields>
      				<field>
      					<columnId>8</columnId>
      					<value>321Z16W_01VHK26G1001FKT</value>
      				</field>
      			</fields>
      		</resultRow>
      	</resultRows>
      	<hasMore>false</hasMore>
      </viewResults>
      
    3. The <value>_value_</value> is the Document ID!!

  15. Get Document data using DocID

    1. Can use this step to get <documentType>_value></documentType>. <documentType> is also the eForm name for eForms. It could be used in a subsequent step for creating the URL to the eForm XML data. The XML data shows:
      1. The primary IndexKeys in the <key> section

      2. Any workflow data associated with the document if it is in workflow in the <workflow> section

      3. Information related to the physical document in the <pages> section

      4. Custom property ID, Type, and value

        Content-Type: text/plain

  16. Using Integration Server to get eForm ID. Using the GradSchool eWarrant eForms, would require FOUR passes for each of the four eWarrant eForms in use.

    Content-Type: test/plain
    Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
    GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/form
    
  17. Returns data for ALL eForms (not just the GradSchool eForms). Do match magic for a specific eForms:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
    <forms>
    	<form>
    		<id>301YWDN_00YZMSXPZ001CPG</id>
    		<name>A_GRAD_MastersWarrant/name>
    		<description />
    		<active>true</active>
    	</form>
    
  18. There are four for Grad eWarrants, for example:

    <form>
    	<id>301YWDN_00YZMSXPZ001CPG</id>
    	<name>A_GRAD_MastersWarrant</name>
    	<description />
    	<active>true</active>
    </form>
    <form>
    	<id>301YWDN_00YZMXXPZ001D0Q</id>
    	<name>A_GRAD_PhDFinalWarrant</name>
    	<description />
    	<active>true</active>
    </form>
    <form>
    	<id>301YWDN_00YZN4XQ0001DEV</id>
    	<name>A_GRAD_PhDPrelimWarrant</name>
    	<description />
    	<active>true</active>
    </form>
    <form>
    	<id>301YWDN_00YZMVXPZ001CMN</id>
    	<name>A_GRAD_ProfessionalWarrant</name>
    	<description />
    	<active>true</active>
    </form>
    
  19. IDs are

    A_GRAD_MastersWarrant: 301YWDN_00YZMSXPZ001CPG
    A_GRAD_PhDFinalWarrant: 301YWDN_00YZMXXPZ001D0Q
    A_GRAD_PhDPrelimWarrant: 301YWDN_00YZN4XQ0001DEV
    A_GRAD_ProfessionalWarrant: 301YWDN_00YZMVXPZ001CMN
    
  20. For this testing, there was a current document in zNAKGRAD_Testing queue which was an A_GRAD_PhDFinalWarrant eForm. If more than one type of warrant is placed in the testing queue, then the next step must be done multiple times, matching eForm ID with DocID. <documentType>_value_</documentType> can be used to match <name>_value></name> is this step to eliminate unnecessary steps.

  21. Get document form XML data using form ID and Document ID. NOTE: ?version=1 is required. Using:

    1. FormID: 301YWDN_00YZMSXPZ001CPG (one of four)

    2. DocID: 321Z16W_01VHK26G1001FKT

      Content-Type: test/plain
      Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
      GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/form/301YWDN_00YZMVXPZ001CMN/document/321Z16W_01VHK26G1001FKT?version=1
      
  22. If no form (are matching one of four form IDs with DocIDs) returns

    500 Internal Server Error
    The response was empty
    
    Content-Type: test/plain
    Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
    GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/form/301YWDN_00YZMVXPZ001CMN/document/321Z16W_01VHK26G1001FKT?version=1
    
  23. If eForm ID and DocID do not match (there is no DocID for the eForm ID) returns

    404 Not Found
    The document form data was not found. Doc ID: 321Z16W_01VHK26G1001FKW, Version: 1, Form ID: 301YWDN_00YZMVXPZ001CMN
    
  24. This example returns a legit eForm document

     Content-Type: test/plain
     Authorization: Basic anN0YWxuYWtAd2lzYy5lZHU6aWZ5b3U2M1RUT3RoaW5raW5n
     GET https://test.imaging.wisc.edu/integrationserver/v1/form/301YWDN_00YZMXXPZ001D0Q/document/321Z16W_01VHK26G1001FKT?version=1
    
  25. Note this is for testing only, one form was routed to the zNAKGrad_Testing queue.

    Returns
    200 OK
    
  26. The ARC client RAW tab shows the XML data that could then be manipulated (this data is truncated below as the GradSchool eForms are quite extensive)
