Step 2. Form the URL that Runs the Data Discovery Search

Step 2. Form the URL that Runs the Data Discovery Search

To run the Data Discovery search, form a URL with the required parameters. The URL parameters determine on which Data Archive instance the search runs and the search criteria that Data Discovery uses to narrow the search results.
Form a URL to call the API that allows external applications to run Data Discovery queries.
The URL that calls the Data Discovery API has the following syntax:
http://<Data Archive Host>:<Data Archive Port>/api/appview?<Parameter String>
The URL syntax includes parameters that you have to replace with values when you form the URL. The parameters are in separate brackets. The URL syntax includes the following parameters:
Host
Host of the Data Archive instance on which you want to run the Data Discovery search.
Port
Port of the Data Archive instance on which you want to run the Data Discovery search.
Parameter String
Data Discovery search parameters. The parameter string includes the parameters that Data Discovery uses to narrow the search results. You can configure the parameter string to search the Data Vault by repository ID or repository name. You can also specify the entity ID, column names, and column values to include in your search.
Use the following syntax for the parameter string to search on the repository ID:
repid=<Repository ID>&entityid=<Entity ID>&column=<Column Name 1,Column Name 2>&value=<Value for Column 1|Value for Column 2>
Use the following syntax for the parameter string to search on the repository name:
repname=<Repository Name>&entityid=<Entity ID>&column=<Column Name 1,Column Name 2>&value=<Value for Column 1|Value for Column 2>
The following table describes the parameters for the parameter strings:
Parameter
Description
Repository ID
ID of the archive target connection.
Repository Name
Name of the archive target connection.
Entity ID
ID of the entity that you want to search.
Column
Columns that you want to search on. Use a comma to separate multiple values.
Value
Values for the column. Enter a value for each column that you include in the search.
Use a pipe symbol (|) to separate values for multiple columns. Enter the values in the same order as you entered the columns.
