Apply Theme To Items

This example demonstrates how to manage content items 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 3.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mySite.com/api3/";

// step 1: authenticate admin account and get token
// NOTE: callApi method is a generic REST method shown below.
let token = callApi("authentication/authenticateUser",{
	"userName":"adminUser",
	"password":"abc123!"
},"",false);
log("got token "+token);

//step 2: get the default tenant ID
let defaultTenant=callApi("access/getDefaultTenant",{
},token // admin token generated above
).data;

//step 3: return the ID of the public root folder for the tenant from step 2
let tenentPublicFolder = callApi("content/getTenantPublicOrGroupFolder",{
	"validRootFolderType": 1,//the public folder of the default tenant
	"tenantId": defaultTenant
},token // admin token generated from step 1 above
).data;

//step 4: add a new folder to the public folder from step 3
let folderCreation = callApi("content/createNewFolder",{
	"parentFolderId": tenentPublicFolder.id,
	"folderName": "new folder"
},token).data;
let folderId=folderCreation.modifiedList[0].id;

//step 5: find roles
let findRole = callApi("access/findRoles",{
	"searchValue": "role1",
	"searchMatchType": 2//SearchMatchType.Equals
},token);
let roleId=findRole.data[0].roleId;
log("found role with id= "+ roleId);

//step 6:add the role we found in step 5 to the folder we created (folderId) in step 4
let addRoleToFolder= callApi("content/addRoleToItem",{
	"itemId": folderId,
	"roleId": roleId//SearchMatchType.Equals
},token);

//step 7: read in a Pyramid Import/Export ('PIE') file
let file="http://myOtherSite.com/Sample.pie";
let pieFile=readPieFile(file);

//step 8: import the PIT file into the folder from step 4
let importContent = callApi("content/importContent",{
	"rootFolderId": folderId, //from step 4
	"fileZippedData": pieFile, //the file's content from step 7
	"clashDefaultOption":1,//ClashDefaultOption.REPLACE_FILE like default
	"rolesAssignmentType":3//RoleAssignmentType.ForceParentFolderRoles take roles from parent folder
},token).data;
let itemId=Object.keys(importContent.importDscMap)[0];

//step 9: optional, search for the item we just imported, it's id is itemId
let findContentItem = callApi("content/findContentItem",{
	"searchString":"import",
	"filterTypes":[3],//ContentTypeObject.DataDiscoveryv
	"searchMatchType":2,//SearchMatchType.Equals
	"searchRootFolderType":1//SearchRootFolderType.Public
},token).data;


//step 10: check if you need to run datasource changer 
// (since the datasource that created this report dosen't exists on this server)
if(importContent.importDscMap[itemId][0].needsToPerformDsc){

	// step 10A: get item's data source connection
	let correntConnectionStringId=importContent.importDscMap[itemId][0].connectionStringProperties.id
	
	//step 10B: run the data source changer on the items
	let changedDatasource = callApi("dataSources/changeDataSource",{
		"fromConnId":correntConnectionStringId,
		"toConnId":"55ff277a-53ff-4c39-8f15-5651f1026a2d",//retrive this id using 'getAllConnectionStrings'
		"itemId":itemId
	},token);
}

//step 11: copying the imported item to the tenant root folder
let copyItems = callApi("content/copyItems",{
	"itemsForMove":[itemId],
	"destinationFolder":tenentPublicFolder.id		
},token).data;

//step 12: remove roles from the folder but not from the item
let removeRoleFromCreatedFolder= callApi("content/removeRolesFromItem",{
	"itemId": folderId,
	"roleIds": [roleId]
},token);

//step 13: hard delete the folder (permanently)
let folderDeletion = callApi("content/purgeContentItems",[
folderCreation.modifiedList[0].id
],token);

//step 14: soft-delete the items
let itemSoftDeletion = callApi("content/deleteItems",[
copyItems.modifiedList[0].id
],token);
