Converting a DBKey to a URI
If you have the DBKey of an object, you can get its URI by using the BLCLI command, GenericObject : getRESTfulURI.
The syntax is:
GenericObject getRESTfulURI dbKey
For example:
GenericObject getRESTfulURI DBKey:SDeviceModelKeyImpl:8-2000034
This is the use case for the id prefix — after you have obtained the URI, you can pass in the URI with RESTful commands that use the id prefix. (See URI-syntax-examples.)
Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
