To save an Execution Plan

The  executionplan  API uses the PUT method to save an Execution Plan.

Request syntax

https://<PresentationServerHostName>/tsws/10.0/api/appvis/synthetic/api/executionplans/save

In the above example,  <PresentationServerHostName>  indicates the host name of the TrueSight Presentation Server.

Request with REST client

After accessing the REST client, perform the following steps:

  1. Enter the URL for API.
    An example of a request for a single Execution Plan is:
    https://localhost/tsws/10.0/api/appvis/synthetic/api/executionplans/save
  2. Add a new header row and select Authorization as the header type.

  3. Enter the text authToken followed by the authToken generated through the login API. 
  4. Make sure you have a Content-Type header row with the value application/json.
  5. Insert the json code in the request body.
  6. Click Send.

Request body

The following code is an example of the JSON code to send with the request.

Note

This functionality requires that you send the entire JSON for the Execution Plan you want to save. Sending only the fields you want to update is not sufficient.

  1.  encryptionType
    Type of encryption used for this attribute

    0 - No encryption

    1,2 - Indicates encryption type


    Great... what does 1 ou 2 mean ?any specific encryption algorythm ?

    1. Hi Stephane,

      I'll check with the developers and update and correct the content in the coming days.

      In the mean time, the options are 0 and 1 (2 is not a valid value). You would use 1 if you are setting a password.

      Regards,

      Sara

  2. Hi,


    I've opened a case 3 days ago without any answer...


    For password I guess  encrypted should be set to 1 and encryptionType may depends on the encryption method 


    Regards

  3. Hi Stephane,

    I replied yesterday, but I'm sorry if you cannot see it. I'll add it here, below, and I should be able to update the documentation in the next day or two.

    1. Hi Sara


      Are you sure ?

      No mismatch between encrypted and encryptionType ?

      What is encryption method used ?


      Lots of doc improvment identified here (smile)

      1. Hi Stephane,

        I updated the documentation. While the content is now more precise—if you are setting a password, set encrypted and encryptionType to 1—I will work to add a specific example for a password attribute with a fuller explanation.

        Thanks for taking the time to comment!

        Sara
