The following environment variables should be set in the ‘bireporting.postman_environment.json’ file (https://github.com/opentext/MBIR)

  1. api_host: Host URL (eg. https://dev.ca.api.opentext.com )
  2. tenant_id: Tenant ID
  3. user_name: MBIR subscription username
  4. tenant_user_password: User password
  5. ext_mbir_app_confclientid: Client ID for the extended App
  6. ext_mbir_confclient_secret: Client Secret for the extended App
  7. locale: Locale

Contact your tenant admin to obtain the values for #1, #2, #5 and #6. Select the value for #7 and provide your subscription credentials for #3 and #4.

Sample Requests

Refer to the ‘bireporting_service_collection.postman_collection.json’ to try out the sample requests (https://github.com/opentext/MBIR)

As a prerequisite to run the Collection, execute these steps first:

  1. POST /oauth2/token (Get authentication token)
  2. GET /contents/folders/items (Return list of files and folders in the root folder)
  3. POST /contents/files/upload (Upload a file)
    1. Switch to “Body” tab of “upload” API and delete the existing “ClassicModelsPredefinedMeasures.data” file by clicking on the x.
    2. Select the provided “ClassicModelsPredefinedMeasures.data” file
    3. Click the Send button of above upload API

Steps 2 and 3 are required for the Headless BI and Declarative BI APIs in the Collection

To execute the Big Data APIs in the Collection:

Add the GCS bucket details i.e., bucketFolderPath, accessId and accessSecret in the “Body” tab of the API request.

This step is required to execute the POST/bigdata/inputfile-metadata and POST/bigdata/tables/import APIs.
