Allow API access to dataset edit definition

Philippe ROGIERS-Oracle

We would like to be able after duplicating a dataset to change the dataset definition via an API (a program). In dataset edit definition we can select new analysis queries which takes time and we would like to automate this based on the folder or the name of the duplicated dataset. As a starting point we would like to know where the XML or metadata from datasets are stored and if we can explore their content.

@Philippe ROGIERS-Oracle Hi Philippe, look pls, at following Ideas:

https://community.oracle.com/products/oracleanalytics/discussion/18832/api-for-programmatically-manipulating-dv-objects-data-visualization-and-automate-dv-tasks-in-oas

https://community.oracle.com/products/oracleanalytics/discussion/9976/api-for-data-visualization-in-oracle-analytics-server-oac

both created by me (one is pretty old one). I think, that what you are requiring in this Idea is "subset" of what is in Ideas above. So pls - for synergy - vote for my Ideas - this will give better chance to be implemented.

Thanks and regards

Michal

We can see a developer option when clicking on inspect on dataset which shows the XML where we would like to make our changes but the APPLY button remains always greyed out / seems we cannot make changes there. Would it be possible to use this functionality?
