OpenIDM's uniform programming model means that all objects are queried and manipulated in the same way, using the Resource API. The URL or URI that is used to identify the target object for an operation depends on the object type. For an explanation of object types, see the Data Models and Objects Reference. For more information about scripts and the objects available to scripts, see the Scripting Reference.
You can use the Resource API to obtain managed objects, configuration objects, and repository objects, as follows:
val = openidm.read("managed/organization/mysampleorg")
val = openidm.read("config/custom/mylookuptable")
val = openidm.read("repo/custom/mylookuptable")For information about constructing an object ID, see URI Scheme in the REST API Reference.
You can update entire objects with the update()
function, as follows.
openidm.update("managed/organization/mysampleorg", mymap)
openidm.update("config/custom/mylookuptable", mymap)
openidm.update("repo/custom/mylookuptable", mymap)For managed objects, you can partially update an object with the
patch() function.
openidm.patch("managed/organization/mysampleorg", rev, value)
The create(), delete(), and
query() functions work the same way.
