Validates a Master Flow
{ validateMasterFlow }
Checks the structure and settings of a Master Flow.
Method
- Enterprise Admin
Input Parameters
Name
validateMasterFlowObject
Object Type
Description
Input parameters needed to execute a Master Flow
Output Response
Successful Result Code
200
Response Type
Description of Response Type
Validation result, includes list for each validation type object
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
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.

/*
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

Code Snippets
Use the Authentication API methods to generate an access 'key' or 'token' for use in code as shown below.
curl -X POST \
-H "paToken: [[apiKey]]" \
-H "Accept: application/json,application/json;charset=utf-8,text/plain,text/plain;charset=utf-8" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"http://Your.Server.URL/API3/dataSources/validateMasterFlow" \
-d '{
"itemId" : "itemId",
"shouldOverrideSecurity" : true,
"processModelsOnly" : true,
"executionTitle" : "executionTitle"
}'
