Things you should know about Rest api data upload :

Noteinfo

        REST API is only available to users who:

  •  have purchased the flex.bi "Standard" or "Business" plan.
  •  have HansaWorld version STDERP_8.1-2015-06-02
  •  have Hansaworld Webshop licence enabled for setup period

Please note : 

  • Rest api connection pushes all data that is requested starting form period you want to start import from
  • Rest appi currently can be as only data import option - it can not be mixed with Source files data upload. If rest appi connection suits only some of your imports (too much data in selected period, for example), you should choose manual File uplaod upload with Hansaworld Exports or setup HAL package for automated data export / import in your Flex.bi account.

HansaWorld setup for Rest api exports

  1. You need to know the web port of your HansaWorld server (which is not the same as you normal port used for HansaWorld client). Normally it should be specified in Technics>>Program Mode.

    Note

    As web port can be overridden by server startup scripts, firewall or other configurations we recommend to contact your HansaWorld partner and/or hosting partner to find out the actual port number used

     

  2. You need to know the URL or IP address of your HansaWorld server that can be used for web requests from the Internet.
  3. Add new row in Webshop>>Settings>>Allow functions on web>>WebDataAPI (you can restrict the usage of this by specifying allowed ip addresses)
     
  4. Test in your browser or other software designed for REST API request testing that this functionality is working with URL
    http://ip:port/WebDataAPI.hal?register=BaseCurBlock
