Linear taskflows

Use this resource to request the details of a linear taskflow or the details of all linear taskflows in the organization. You can also create, update, or delete a linear taskflow.

GET request

To request the details of a particular linear taskflow, include the linear taskflow ID or linear taskflow name in the URI. Use one of the following URIs:

/api/v2/workflow/<id>

/api/v2/workflow/name/<name>

If you use the linear taskflow name in the URI and the linear taskflow name includes a space, replace the space with

%20

. For example:

/api/v2/workflow/name/my%20linear%20taskflow

To request the details of all linear taskflows in the organization, use the following URI:

/api/v2/workflow

Optionally, you can receive the response in simple mode which significantly improves performance. When you enable simple mode, the response does not include the ScheduleId attribute and the email attributes. To receive the response in simple mode, include

simpleMode=true

in the request. Use the following URI to receive details of all linear taskflows using simple mode:

/api/v2/workflow/?simpleMode=true

If successful, returns the workflow object for the requested linear taskflow. Or, if you request the details for all linear taskflows in the organization, returns a workflow object for each linear taskflow in the organization.

POST request

To create a linear taskflow, use the following URI:

/api/v2/workflow

If you want to specify a location for the linear taskflow, include the container ID in the request. If the container ID isn't included in the request, the linear taskflow is created in the Default folder. You can find the container ID for a project or folder in the

Data Integration

user interface. On the

Explore

page, select the folder. In the URL, the last string of characters is the container ID.

For example, in the following URL, the container ID is dH2DuGJYda7ijgW4Sm32sR

https://na1.dm-us.informaticacloud.com/diUI/products/integrationDesign/main/Explore/dH2DuGJYda7ijgW4Sm32sR

To update a linear taskflow, include the workflow ID as shown in the following example:

/api/v2/workflow/<id>

When you update a linear taskflow,

Data Integration

replaces the existing linear taskflow with the update.

You can submit a partial update using partial mode. If you want to update a field in the workflowTask object using partial mode, you must include the taskId field. To submit a request using partial mode, use a JSON request and include the following line in the header:

Update-Mode=PARTIAL
