Using action "Invoke an HTTP Request" to push data to another application

AM_1

Hi!

We need to periodically push data to an external application that supports HTTP POST API.

We think of creating an agent that runs an analysis and then invokes an action that pushes the analysis result to an external server.

The analysis result may contain thousands of rows, therefore we would like to run this action once after analysis is completed and not use "Invoke per Row" option if this is possible.

Is it possible to use the "Invoke an HTTP Request" action for this purpose?

What are the ways to authenticate against the external application?

Thanks in advance!

What tool is the question about?

The "Oracle Business Intelligence" category is quite vague...

Assuming you mean from OAS, it is the wrong tool for the job... Publisher has way to deliver content remotely and could be an option. Anything else would require some creativity and code because that's the wrong tool for the job.

For agents, like it is possible to use a custom script to save the agent result on disk, you could also use a custom script to push that content remotely. The script will be able to connect to an external service and send the data via a POST call.
