Unable to retrieve the Favorites of Selected member

gopaldahal

Is there any way to retrieve the favorites of selected member. I didnt find any way to get it.

Seems there is only an option to get favorites of authenticated user.

Please Help!

You can always do the same thing the API does as Find the favorites of a user by a LR. Then you can design a WR passing the Userid in question .As a third step you can put the WR as a REST End point

If you dont like the extra calls then ask OT to enter a feature request.

You can also just before asking the GetFavorites impersonate the user so the psuedo code will be

Login to Livelink as a user with SA

Impersonate user "Tom"

Get his favorites using the token for "Tom"

Repeat using "****" and "Harry" remembering to change token to admin token and impersonate before each call.

Coming from Livelink I would settle for the LR/WR combination since that is easier.

@Appu Nair. Thank you for the quick reply.

It is by sure we can get the favorites of user by impersonating.

However I am more interested on the first statement but am a bit unclear on it. Will you please provide the sample link to make request for getting favorite of specific user using his/her id.

Thank you

Are you asking for the syntax and setup of a LR / WR . Do you have access to a livelink or Content Server as they call it . If so find the link called Reports and you will find a sub link called Live Reports those can be used to execute livelink database logic . For people having permissions LR is an available subtype . Think of WR as a wrapper to LR and one of the best things is a WR can become a Rest end point in a jiffy almost very easy code so when a official Rest endpoint is missing we use that mechanism .
