Using GSA Admin API to make database sync

[P@k]

Hi,

I'm want to know if there is a way to sync a database using the admin
API? I can't see any entry in the API Protocol definition.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you have something that already performs API functions, then you
just need to add a new function for database sync. The link for sync
is http://yourGSA.address:8000/EnterpriseController?actionType=syncDatabase&entryName=<yourDBEntryName>.

For submissions to the API, you only need the two parameters
indicated, actionType and entryName, once you're logged in, that is.

Thanks a lot Jeff. I will try to modify the existing Java API, because
I just downloaded it and read the documentation:

http://code.google.com/apis/searchappliance/documentation/60/gdata/acapi_protocol.html

http://code.google.com/apis/searchappliance/documentation/60/gdata/acapi_java.html

And I didn't see all the urls to fetch send / fetch content but I will
try to make the calls directly to the EnterpriseController using atom.

Thanks a lot for your help and have a great day.

You don't have to send different requests to different links, didn't
mean to give you that impression. I was merely meaning to illustrate
that you can find the arguments necessary from inspecting the links.
You will, in fact, still send the requests to the same API location,
just with different parameters defined. :)

Sync database is not in admin API yet.

For database sync, for now you can use:
