Introducing REST API V2
HCL Workload Automation REST API V2 to better integrate workload scheduling capabilities with external products and solutions.
A new version of REST APIs has been introduced to operate on the product from both User Interface and Command Line Interface.
The new features of REST API V2 are designed to make the user experience even smoother:
- Enhanced filtering opportunities: according to how specific your query needs to be, you can decide whether to use planFilter, which is similar to conman syntax and offers the same filtering capabilities, or OQL syntax, which is simpler and allows ordering the results. You can also decide to use both of them, using planFilter for filtering and OQL for ordering.
- Improved payloads for easier consumption: both the hierarchy and the structure of payloads have been revamped to improve their understanding and usage.
- Introduction of efficient multi-item endpoints: each action can be performed by ID and by filter. In this way, you can decide whether to operate on a single item or on multiple items.
