Things you should know about REST API data upload :

Info

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 upload with HansaWorld Exports or setup HAL package for automated data export / import in your Flex.bi account.

...

  1. If you have your flex.bi on our provided cloud server, you will have to contact flex.bi support who will then set up REST API for you.
  2. If you have a private flex.bi server then you will have to manually add the following Plan parameters in your account settings:

    [hansaworld]
    data_source = "rest_api"
    batch_days = 10

Then you will be able to perform imports with REST API.

...

Warning

We suggest that you discuss security measures with your HansaWorld or hosting partner to ensure that data access is secured only for flex.bi

Setting up Rest api connection in Flex.bi

To do an import click on the "Add new source application" button in your Source Data -> Source Applications tab. Select "HANSAWORLD" as your source application.
