Invoking a REST
Operation
To make REST
requests, you can either invoke a configured REST operation or invoke a REST
operation dynamically by using a configured REST operation as a template and
replacing any of the parameters at runtime.
There are several ways to invoke
a REST operation.
- Configure REST hosts and associate REST operations with them by running theAdd a REST HostandAdd a REST Operationworkflows. The registered REST hosts and REST operations are persistent and can be found in theInventoryandResourcesviews.
- Invoke a REST operation without previously configuring REST hosts and adding REST operations by running theInvoke a dynamic REST operationworkflow from . With this workflow, you can provide REST host base URL and operation parameters. The data is not persistent and is not available in theInventoryandResourcesviews.
- Configure REST hosts, associate REST operations with them, and use the configured REST hosts and REST operations as templates for further use, by running theInvoke a REST host with dynamic paramsandInvoke a REST operation with dynamic paramsworkflows from . You can replace some of the parameters of already configured REST hosts and REST operations when you run the workflows. The original REST hosts and REST operations are not affected.
