REST Activities
The REST services are the key components of cloud services and IoT (Internet of Things) service architecture. Therefore, to make good use of these advantages, REST services are introduced in the recent releases of TIBCO MDM to support record operations and other MDM functionalities.
ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for MDM provides a way of implementing the business use cases as Business Works processes with well-defined transitions, simplifying the design and implementation cycles in development phase. The web service layer handles the service requests coming from the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for MDM. It is important that the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Plug-in for MDM adapts and supports TIBCO MDM REST services on premise and also in a cloud based integrated environment.
- REST AddModify
By using the REST AddModify (Record) activity, you can add, modify, or lookup a record. If the record does not exist, a new record is created. If the record exists, the existing record is updated. - REST Delete
By using the REST Delete (Record) activity, you can delete records when the records exist, and when the latest version of the records is not in any workflow. You can delete all related records along with the parent record. The records are deleted by using only PRODUCTID as well as both PRODUCTID and PRODUCTIDEXTENSION. Use the command qualifier RelationshipTargets to delete a single child record added to a relationship at that level. - REST Query
By using the REST Query (Record) activity, you can search for records. The TIBCO MDM server provides REST APIs for querying records. The four different APIs are, query record by ID and IDEXT, all records of a repository, search for records by criteria, and retrieve related records by parent record ID and relationship name.
