Things you should know about REST API data upload :

Info

  •  have purchased the flex.bi "Standard" or "Business" plan.
    •  have HansaWorld

      requires :

    •  HansaWorld version STDERP_8.1-2015-06-02 or later
    •  have  HansaWorld Webshop licence enabled for setup period

    Please note : 

    • Currently Hansaworld Rest api API connection pushes all data that is requested starting form period you want to start import from
    • Rest appi API 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 should  setup HAL package for automated data File export / import in your Flex.bi account or choose manual File upload with HansaWorld Exports.

    To be able to use REST API as a way to import your files you must first make sure you have the necessary plan parameters enabled:

    1. If you have your flexFlex.bi on our provided cloud Cloud server, you will have to contact flex.bi support who will then set up open  REST API for you. Contact : support@flex.bi

    2. If you have a private flexPrivate 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
