[midPoint] Importing objects remotely

[Samu Viitanen]

Thank you Katarina for the information. Using the REST API seems simple enough. I will try different solutions and choose the best one for my needs.

Hi Samu,
there is also possibility to create objects without accessing midPoint GUI using REST API. For example, if you want to import resource definition, you can use following curl command:
 curl --user administrator:5ecr3t -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST http://localhost:8080/midpoint/ws/rest/resources -d @pathToYourXmls\resource.xml -v
 
 for other types of objects, you will need to update url with the appropriate type, e.g:
 create connector host: http://localhost:8080/midpoint/ws/rest/connectorHostscreate object template: http://localhost:8080/midpoint/ws/rest/objectTemplates
 More documentation for REST API can be found in wiki.
 
 Best regards,
 Katarina Valalikova

Thank you for your quick response Pavol. I will use the executeChanges method for now.

Samu,
 
 you're right: the model WS interface doesn't contain such a method. (I consider implementing it, but it's a low priority for me, mainly because of 3.3 release that is quickly coming.)
 
 In the meanwhile, you can safely use executeChanges method. But you need to call it one-object-at-a-time. And perhaps don't forget to set "overwrite" option. Also, set "isImport" option, if you want to evaluate search filters in the imported objects.
 
 Best regards,
 Pavol
 
Hello,
 
 I want to import certain objects (Connector hosts, resource references, user templates, etc.) without accessing the midPoint GUI. Is it possible to import objects through the Model WS Interface, or do I have to write a program with the Model interface to import such objects? I did not find any references or guides on how to import objects like this into midPoint.
 
 Best Regards
 Samu Viitanen
