Finding all the Data Sets in the Server
Problem
You want to obtain a list of all the previously created Data Sets contained in the OL Connect Server potentially for use in a Content Creation operation.
Solution
The solution is to create a request using the following URI and method type and submit it to the server via the Data Set Entity REST service:
Get All Data Sets | /rest/serverengine/entity/datasets | GET |
Example
HTML5
dse-get-all-datasets.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Get All Data Sets Example</title>
<script src="../../common/lib/js/jquery-3.6.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="../../common/js/common.js"></script>
<script src="js/dse-get-all-datasets.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../common/css/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<h2>Data Set Entity Service - Get All Data Sets Example</h2>
<form>
<fieldset>
<legend>Inputs</legend>
<div>
<label for="submit">No Input Required</label>
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript/jQuery
dse-get-all-datasets.js
/* Data Set Entity Service - Get All Data Sets Example */
(function ($, c) {
"use strict";
$(function () {
c.setupExample();
$("form").on("submit", function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
if (!c.checkSessionValid()) return;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/rest/serverengine/entity/datasets"
})
.done(function (response) {
c.displayStatus("Request Successful");
c.displayHeading("Data Set IDs");
c.displaySubResult("Plain", c.jsonIDListToPlain(response));
c.displaySubResult("JSON Identifier List", c.jsonPrettyPrint(response));
})
.fail(c.displayDefaultFailure);
});
});
}(jQuery, Common));
