Call Catalog RestAPI from OAC DV

vkm

Is it possible to call the below Catalog RestAPI to list the catalog items from OAC DV connection?

I'm looking to build a dataset to publish the report catalog in DV for users to search and find reports that they are looking for.

@vkm - Please try using the REST API Connector. Kindly refer the below documentation for more details:

While I obviously don't know your full task: doesn't the search feature of DV itself works better for the job?

Because your API call will show what the account you used to get a token is allowed to see, not what the user is allowed to see. Or maybe this is actually your real need: display a list of everything existing so your users can request to be granted access to it.

All in all, as Sumanth said, the REST connector should be able to do it because that API should be a fairly standard API with all the parameters in the URL. Once you get a token it should work without issues.

To add, in the OA Public library there is a 'DV Governance' extension, if that helps you in your overall task.

Unfortunately, the public demo (https://oac-public.com/ui/dv/ui/home.jsp?pageid=home does not showcase this because there are no individual users in that instance.
