API and custom objects

• API bulk: creating custom objects, fields, and lists?

  Hi all

  I have searched and passed through the ticket of support for routing, but have not yet managed to find an answer to this question, so I thought that maybe the people who write the API would be the best ones to talk to

  Anyway, in summary, my question is:-

  Is it possible to create lists of contacts, the Contact fields and items customized by using the bulk API 1.0?

  I know, it is possible to create new contacts and add them to an existing list, but I want to create a new list with the bulk API and then add my contacts on this new list.

  Same kind of thing for the Contact fields. I want to be able to check if there is a Contact field and if not create one and then fill in the import.

  Once again, even for custom objects. I know I can do a GET for all currently available Custom objects, but can I create a new using the API as a whole?

  Any help would be most appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Chris,

  You cannot create contact fields, shared lists or the custom objects through the bulk API (which in fact is a RESTful API), they must exist already.

  You can use the REST or lists The SOAP API to create only shared the REST API to create the contact fields, but SOAP or REST currently supports the creation of custom data objects.

  If you don't have it already, please take a look here, building on The Eloqua Platform - A Resource Guide and there REST API - Documentation for kernel objects that will hopefully more questions.

• Mapping and querying objects for Contact with REST Api

  Hi all

  We are hoping to get some details on the DataCard management defined via REST API. Our implementation goal is to create Contacts and add the custom for each Contact object or to be more precise, add a set of map data for each Contact.

  At the present time, to associate a map Data Set (or custom object) to an existing contact, we provide a suite of fields in the custom when creating custom object object:

  new CustomObjectField  
  {
                                                                  name = "MappedEntityType",
                                                                  dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.numeric),
                                                                  type = "CustomObjectField",
                                                                  defaultValue = "0"
                                                              },
                                                           new CustomObjectField
                                                              {
                                                                  name = "MappedEntityID",
                                                                  dataType = Enum.GetName(typeof(DataType), DataType.numeric),
                                                                  type = "CustomObjectField",
                                                                  defaultValue = "<ContactId>"
                                                              }
  
  

  This is the right approach? This is based on the information provided here: http://topliners.eloqua.com/community/code_it/blog/2012/05/31/eloqua-api-how-to-mapping-a-data-card-to-an-entity.

  The REST API would query the CustomObjects using the MappedEntityId value for the subsequent updates? If so, pointers on how to approach that?

  Thanks to ad.

  The REST API does not support this.  With the upcoming release of Eloqua, you will be able to update the MappedEntityID, as a query it.

• Data in bulk Api Custom objects mapping to accounts

  We are trying to create custom objects and map it to an account using the REST api of bulk.  For contacts, we are able to do this by using the following:

  "{{Objetpersonnalise [48].}}. Contact.Field (C_EmailAddress)}}.

  For accounts, we tried this:

  "{{{Objetpersonnalise [48]." Account.Field (M_CustomAccount_ID)}}} ".

  However, we get the following error:

  "failures": [{"field": "account_mapping_field", "stackTrace": [{'field': 'fields'}], 'value': ' {{Objetpersonnalise [73].}} "}] "Account.Field (M_CustomAccount_ID)}}", "constraint":

  Does not contain account fields (given that the binding is not enabled for imports). »}]}

  Any suggestions?

  Hey Tyler,

  It is not currently possible to link records LCO to accounts via the API in bulk.  If available, try SFTP for automated downloads / on demand.

• REST API - the internal names of the fields in the custom object

  Hello

  We have an old system that uses the SOAP API and I'm rewritten with the REST API. Before, with SOAP, you identify the fields object personalized with their internal names. Therefore, our system and stored that names in its database. Now, I'm facing a problem. as the REST API does not provide the internal names for the fields in the custom object, as their full names and IDs. Am I wrong? Is it possible to get the internal names through REST? I found, you can get this internal names through the API as a WHOLE, but is there really no way to get them using REST? It seems strange to me and I don't want to use in BULK as there limits for requests per day.

  Hi Marc,

  In bulk API endpoints are the best way to retrieve the details field you are looking for.  Calls to retrieve this detail do not count against the daily API limits for the bulk API.

• Automatic assignment of record parent registration RN when created by OPA and involve a custom object

  The question that we face, it's what seems to be the forced transfer of the child for parent records records when she is using OPA integrated with RightNow to create records. This scenario is a little complex, so I put try it below with a structure to make it easier.

  • Scenario: creating records in RightNow across an interview of the OPA
  • OPA setting of mapping:
    • Personal contact Center (account)
    • At the beginning of the interview, load data related to an individual: Incident
    • At the end of the interview, update Incident
  • Data models:
    • OPA: Global-> [object custom-1] > [custom object 2]
      • all containment relationships
    • RN: Incident-> 1-> object custom object custom 2
      • All relationships of association
  • Detailed description: in Takeovers we are inferring creating two records personal 2 object with a Custom single object 1. In these registers Custom object 2, we put directly the field that contains the link PK 1 custom, object so that each personal object 2 is actually assigned in RN for different Custom object 1s. Some examples of data to explain:
    • Custom 1 object associated with the Incident, read in the OPA
      • ID is set to 123
    • 2 custom object created in OPA under instance of Custom 1 object with ID = 123
      • Link to PK for 1 item 123-custom
    • 2 custom object created in OPA under instance of Custom 1 object with ID = 123
      • PK link for 1 custom object on 345 (different from the Custom object 1 read OPA)
  • Expected behavior: the object two custom 2s are created and assigned to their respective different personal 1 item RightNow records.
  • Actual behavior: the object two custom 2s are created and assigned to the Custom object with ID 123 1

  To continue the investigation, we then tested using a different set of objects, standard objects, but with the same rules:

  • Data models:
    • OPA: Global-> contact-> the incident
      • all containment relationships
    • RN: Organization-> (current) Contact-> Incident (custom object)
      • all relationships of association
    • Detailed description: same logic as the previous
    • Customer expected: same as previous
    • Actual behavior: Matches expected behavior. The Incidents have been correctly assigned to their two different respective Contacts

  This behavior of divestiture now seems specific to custom objects, but can ayone confirms that this is the case and the behavior expected please?

  In addition, we are confident that when you test this feature about 2 weeks ago, we received the expected behavior in BOTH cases to 80%. Maybe it's because changing the configuration in our RN environment that we are not aware of, so we are investingating cela, but are there changes to the OPA / connectors deployment for customer environments in recent weeks that could have caused this please?

  Finally, if this could be affected by a change of configuration of RN, nobody knows what this configuration can be please?

  I can confirm that this is the expected behavior. A few more details are given in the article of doco hierarchies entity Understand - he explains how the containment relationships mapped determines the assignment to the parent.

  The reason for this behavior is that most of the time, it makes sense that the registration of the new entity instances to 'work', feel that they are saved in exactly the same hierarchy of containment that was present in the OPA, and in a way that ensures referential integrity (we support in particular the case where the whole hierarchy of objects is created at the same time if the parent does not yet exist at the time of the creation of the rule (, so you couldn't possibly know its ID). Otherwise, as Matt says, is up to the author of the rule to make sure that, for example, 345 is a valid foreign key.

  This behavior should be the same for the built-in objects as well as custom objects, and as Brad says he has not changed recently. If you see this behavior in some cases but not in others, what this means is that probably in cases where it works as expected, there are multiple relationships between the parent and the child object, and it happens that the foreign key that you set manually is different from the foreign key of the mapped containment relationship.

• Custom objects: current date and spreadsheet

  On another normally functioning form, there are two custom objects, the two fields of current Date, appearing not at all

  When I merge data files into spreadsheet in Acrobat X Pro. The two fields have the value calculated reading alone and execution property

  current Date/time. Is it possible to include the value of current Date/time when the file is merged into a spreadsheet, maybe

  with the script editor? And why not a current Date field is displayed in a spreadsheet?

  Hello

  Once the binding of an object is name / Normal, then it should participate in the export to the worksheet. If you drag an object CurrentDate, she taps into the custom; Select it and go to object > liaison palette, you will see that the link is set to None / N ° of data binding.

  If you want an object to export, you must set the binding.

• Difference between 4-10 and 11-15 custom object

  Anyone has an idea about the difference between custom objects 4-10 and 11-15. In the admin model, there is a distinct privilege for these two so wonder.

  Hello
  In R16, custom objects are grouped into 3 levels

  (1) * custom objects 1-3 *.
  2) oppose custom 4-15
  3) object custom > 15

  (1) custom objects 1-3:
  -These custom objects has many-to-many relationship with the main types of records and other custom objects

  (2) 4-15 custom object:
  -These custom objects in a one-to-many relationship with the main types of records.
  -They are further divided into 2 parts: 4-10 and 11-15
  - So when you activate all objects between 4 and 10, all of the objects from 4-10 will be activated and is also true for the 11-15.

  (3) items custom > 15:
  -To allow these objects, that you must check your Oracle design and it is available only for single tenant, not for multi tenant clients.

  Hope this information is helpful to you

• REST API - custom objects DateTime fields

  Hello

  I can't understand how to create a new record of custom with date field object. When I create a contact I am passing the string format like this: "2014-09 - 29 T 23: 57:08Z. But the same format does not work with custom objects. It returns "invalid JSON string. What I am doing wrong?

  Hi Marc,

  You must pass as a integer unix timestamp.  for example 1414456157

  In rails, you generate using Time.now.to_i

  See you soon,.

• How can I update the custom object data card?

  Hello world

  We maintain a field check box on one of our custom objects data sheets.  I took a quick glance at the Eloqua REST API of Fred Sakr and found c# library class "customobjectdata", but there are only methods to get data cards and create new maps.  Someone at - it an example of updating an existing data card?

  I also took a glance to the bulk API but this would bring additional complexity to our development effort.  It seems that there must be a way to do this with a single call.

  I am open to the use of the SOAP API if this action is not possible using REST.

  Thank you

  Hey Austin Christmas Yes, you can update CDO via the REST API. We found this material useful for the performance of the access/mutation operations for CDOS: REST API - the custom metadata object

• Issue of Python API and profile of Stimulus

  Hello

  I am using IronPython with Visual Studio 2010 to create automated tests of a PXI system I have. Most of my knowledge API (and Python) so far has been coming to this thread of Iron Python . Although very useful. I am not able to get the parts of profile of Stimulus work. I have command over the line, forcing the acquisition of basic data output voltage, but I was hoping that use the far more high-level control provide by VeriStand.

  My methodology so far has been 1) create a profile of Stimulus in the Editor (something simple like a shifted sine wave) 2) I do not specify a specific channel in the profile (because I want to use the same waveform on several channels, in order) 3) record 4) Point the Python script to the sinewave.nivstest of the file Run 5). Is there something wrong with this process?

  The problem is that 'running' is really doing nothing. I'll have to study this more within my reach, but the result is something (it begins almost at work!) but for something that should be hard about 20 seconds, it ends immediately after the first 'blip '.

  I use Iron Python 2.7, VS 2010 Shell. If it's important for some reason, I use a custom material OR and card FPGA DAQ. And I would say force SetChannelValue (X) works for all outputs.

  Thank you very much!

  It's probably because you're playing a stimulus that has no mapping. The same thing happens if you specify a mapping in the profile?

  Unfortunately, there is no API in NI VeriStand in 2010 to change the mapping. So that's all that you specify when you create with the GUI. However, the nivstest file is actually just XML so that you can use any XML parsing and API for editing to change the mapping. If you don't want to use an API for XML editing, you can try to use the technique in the VI posted on this thread to change the mapping.

• Related custom object records the Segment export view

  Hello

  I have records history of purchases in Eloqua-specific custom objects.

  These records are related to contacts.

  When I create a segment, I have the ability to filter the contacts based on the data stored on these custom objects.

  I want to export all the records in the custom objects related to all the contacts in the segment view, I can do?

  Hi Ofir,

  There is no way to do it directly from Eloqua. Segments will allow you only to view Contact data, and there is no equivalent way to custom segment object stores the data. To generate this list, you will need to export all history of purchase of your custom object records and then cross the two lists to identify records of custom object related to the Contacts in your industry to export all the contacts from your Segment view.

• Custom object filters (data card)

  How do you run the filters with data cards?

  We have Contact information stored in the Contact record, and our products are stored against cards of data with the email address as a common link between them.

  I need to run reports for some products, that lists all the products selected for some countries.

  Kind regards

  He discovered. Using the "field of the linked object Custom' and 'A related custom object' in the contact filter allows filtering in the game of the data card.
