getIntrospectionAttributes
Get the resource attributes that were applied to a resource the last time it was introspected from a data source. This call only queries the TDV, not the underlying data source. Therefore, the data source does not need to be enabled or currently have a valid connection. If the provided resource has not yet been introspected, no attributes are returned. No checks are performed to see if the resource currently exists within the data source. A fault is generated if the resource does not exist within the TDV.
Location
/services/webservices/system/admin/resource/operations/
Request Elements
path: The path to the data source.
dsPath: The relative path within the data source of the resource for which to gather attributes. If the path is root ("/") or the empty string, the introspection properties for the data source itself are returned.
dsType: The type of the resource.
Response Elements
attributes (optional): The attributes applied to the resource if it has been introspected. Otherwise, this is unset. See Attributes Element.
Faults
IllegalArgument: If path, dsPath, or dsType is malformed.
NotFound: If the data source resource or any portion of the path to the data source does not exist.
Security: If the user does not have READ access on all items in path.
Security: If the user does not have READ access on the data source.
Security: If the user does not have the ACCESS_TOOLS right.
