Archive Center REST API?

danderson@alitek.com

Is there a REST API for Archive Center? If so, where is the documentation?

Rikkert Engels

Same question here. I found documentation for a C++ and Java API but nothing HTTP, so I'm now assuming there is none.

Thanks for posting; I'll take this to the team internally.

Hi, is there possible to create a custom portal to access the archive center ?

Greg Griffiths

@Albertus_Chandra it is, you'll just have to implement all the required functionality as well as the interface to the Archive Centre e.g. Authentication too.

Albertus_Chandra

@Greg Griffiths Thank you for answer, do you have the documentation reference / guidance about the required functionality ? is it using CMIS ?

Greg Griffiths

the APIs should be listed at https://developer.opentext.com/apis/child/14ba85a7-4693-48d3-8c93-9214c663edd2/Store%20&%20Manage (although not yet, perhaps @Karen Weir can update ?), there is some content at https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=24128791&objAction=browse&viewType=1 which may be of use.

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/open/KCProduct?id=139 there's available API :

Archive Server API 21.2 JAVA || SHA256: 2fa8cc59d605bea345cd202ae70605c3ec3f23a399b18340591df47f8cff7f10

is it compatible for Archive Server under version 21.2 ?

Thank you

Greg Griffiths

@Albertus_Chandra while some of the content may be similar you should look for the version relevant to your version of Archive Centre to ensure you get the right information. Newer versions may contain new / changed functionality or user interface etc and older versions may be missing certain enhancements so the documentation may not make sense in either case without a little more background knowledge.

Karen Weir

Thanks

Archive Server API versions 4 through 21.2 are available here.

As @Greg Griffiths notes, we should be making this available in https://developer.opentext.com/apis/child/14ba85a7-4693-48d3-8c93-9214c663edd2/Store%20&%20Manage as well; I'll follow-up with the team.

I will add that this is not a traditional REST API, it's more like the '90's equivalent of a REST API :) This is the so-called ArchiveLink API which I think started out as an SAP standard, which is probably why it's still kicking around. I've played around with it once many years ago. The most difficult part is trying to get the authentication working. If you succeed, I salute you!
