Validates a Master Flow

{ validateMasterFlow }

Checks the structure and settings of a Master Flow.

Method

Input Parameters

Output Response

Notes

The function checks each node within the flow to ensure they are all valid. It includes checking all the connections details for data sources, data targets, internal variables and any missing or broken values for other nodes.The response shows a list of broken items: sources, targets, variables and other elements.

Examples

Data Flow Operations (JavaScript):

This example demonstrates how to update data flow objects and execute flows in Pyramid.

The example uses API authentication driven from JavaScript. See Authentication APIs for alternatives.

// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 2.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mySite.com/api2/";
const DEMO_FILE = 'url/test.pie';

/*
example  - import master flow content, fix sources and execute
	createNewFolder - f1
	findRole  - role1
	addRoleToFolder - role1 to folder of item 1
	importContent 
	validateMasterFlow
	create server - optional 
	updateSourceNodeConnection
	updateTargetNodeConnection
	updateVariableConnection
	executeMasterFlow
	getMasterFlowProgressUpdate
