Trying to pass multiple values in the HTTP transformation URL(Put method) but unable to do it. URL doesn't support query strings
Example:
URL: http://example.com/**page**
need to pass multiple values into the page(please see the URL) from another transformation. URL does not support the query string values. Any Idea how to pass multiple values to the URL.
Page values like "1234", "5678", "891". So the URL will be as shown below.
http://example.com/1234,
http://example.com/5678,
http://example.com/891
Thank you
If page numbers are finite,
then you can create that many http transformations in a mapping.
If page numbers are infinite or many, you need to-
create a list of pages, create a mapping with http transformations where http://example.com/$pageno
create a shell script which will iterate through above list, create a param file with $pageno=1234 etc. and kick off above mapping with this param file.
schedule this shell script using another workflow.

I am getting a value returned by hitting a HTTP endpoint which I am storing in a column. Now a want to trigger another Http Endpoint with the value in the column. But the HTTP endpoint takes hardcoded values or macros only. So I want to know if I can set a run-time argrument based on the column value
Please suggest How I can do this.
There are few ways of setting runtime arguments:
Using Argument Setter Plugin - type of Action plugin that allows one to create reusable pipelines by dynamically substituting the configurations that can be served by an HTTP Server.
Specifying runtime arguments as a JSON map in the request body, when starting an program.
CDAP Preferences HTTP RESTful API.
I recommend you check the official documentation for Datafusion, where you can find a way of setting variables/macros using the GCS bucket.
Additionally, have a look at the following thread on SO. It describes the method with specifying runtime arguments as a JSON map in the request body.
Is there a way to reference other collections from a specific collection. For example, if I have a file upload collection (something that uploads a file), I want to be able to use that from other collections. How would I reference the file upload?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
I have a collection where a file is uploaded and a calculation needs to be performed. The test or collection would go something like this where each step is a POST, GET, etc
Upload and run calculation:
Generate a token
make call
copy/save token value
Upload specific file (these would be 3 individual requests)
Upload file
Monitor upload status
Return ID of file uploaded
run calculation
use ID to pass as parameter
pass other values to set up calculation
monitor run
validate results
In another collection I need to validate uploaded files metadata is correct. Not directly related to the one above, but has some similarities
Generate a token
make call
copy/save token value
Upload specific file (these would be 3 individual requests)
Upload file
Monitor upload status
Get final result and return ID of file uploaded
Get me
validate metadata is correct.
Steps 1 and 2 are common functionality, there would be no difference there. How could I extract those two steps as modular components or functionality so I can reference them from any collection?
For additional clarity, we use ReadyAPI and are able to do 'Run Test Case' which can obviously run another test case. We've separated the functionality of token and file uploads into it's own test case and use it as a modular component. I'd like to achieve something similar with Postman.
Unfortunately Postman collections are working a little bit different.
But you can Merge your two collections to a single one, and execute it as one single collections.
I have been trying to delete multiple campaigns from Eloqua at a time using Postman. But I am not able to do. I don't see reference in the tool as well http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCAB/index.html#Developers/RESTAPI/REST-API.htm%3FTocPath%3D%2520Application%2520API%7C_____0.
Please let me know if deleting the multiple campaigns is possible.
It is not possible.
The link you provided mentions it's outdated, and a redirection link was available: http://docs.oracle.com/cloud/latest/marketingcs_gs/OMCAC/rest-endpoints.html
Have a look at all the DELETE methods over there, and you will see that there is no provision for sending more than one id at a time.
Edit: You say you are using Postman. It is possible to perform repetitive tasks (like deleting mulitple campaigns) with different parameters each time by using Collections.
Edit 2:
Create an environment,
Type your url with the id as a variable, e.g.: xyz.com/delete/{id}
And send all the id values as a JSON or CSV file. They have given a sample JSON, you would simply have to provide your ids inside an array, e.g.:
[
{"id":1},
{"id":2},
{"id":3}
]
I'm trying to make an ExternalQuestion HIT and was wondering how I could pass S3 image URLs to the hit and display them.
I considered passing the URL as a url parameter but that doesn't make sense since it's a url.
Is it possible to do something like this?
<ExternalQuestion xmlns="[the ExternalQuestion schema URL]">
<ExternalURL>http://tictactoe.amazon.com/gamesurvey.cgi?gameid=01523</ExternalURL>
<FrameHeight>400</FrameHeight>
<ImageURL1>[image_url]</ImageURL1>
<ImageURL2>[image_url]</ImageURL2>
....
</ExternalQuestion>
It looks like you're trying to do something like what the Requester User Interface does when creating a batch, which involves building an HTMLQuestion out of a template HTML page with some named variables and a CSV file containing the values for each variable.
The ExternalQuestion only contains the ExternalURL and FrameHeight parameters. If you want to display different images, those need to be on their own pages (i.e., your server needs to decide what image to display to a given worker OR you have to create multiple HITs, one for each page that contains a distinct URL).
I am working to set up a HTTP Endpoint in JitterBit, for this end point we have a system that will call this Endpoint and pass parameters through the URL to it.
example...
http://[server]:[server port]/EndPoint?Id={SalesForecID}&Status={updated status in SF}
Would i need to use the Text File, JSON or XML Method for this? Follow up question would be if it is JSON or XML what would the file look like that is uploaded during creating the endpoint. I have tired with no success with the text file version.
any help would be great.
I'm just seeing your question now. You may have found a solution, but this took me a while to figure out, so I'll respond anyway.
To get the passed values, go ahead and create your HTTP Endpoint and add a new operation triggered by it. Then, in your new operation create a script with something like the following:
$SalesForceID = $jitterbit.networking.http.query.Id
$UpdatedStatus = $jitterbit.networking.http.query.Status
You can then use these variables elsewhere in your operation chain.
If you want to use these values to feed into another RESTful web service (i.e. an HTTP Source), you'll have to create a separate transformation operation with the HTTP Source. You'd set that source URL to be: http://mysfapp.com/call?Id=[SalesForceID]&Status=[UpdatedStatus]. I'm not sure why, but you can't have the script that extracts the parameters from the Endpoint and the HTTP Source that uses those in the same operation.
Cheers
