recover all contents of vmx via the API?

For archival purposes, I have to be able to read all the content of a VMs vmx file to my machine using the API if possible. I see that you can enter specific parameters if you know the name of the parameter, but is there a way to recover the contents of the entire file (all at once, or even a 'line' at a time)?

I suppose I could do a get http on that, but I understand that it is sometimes problematic in vSphere.

Once again I need the entire file and do not know every possible setting in it.

The host's ESX/ESXi if that helps

Thank you

Tim

Well, if you get to the local office, then HTTP get is the only method.

    Hey fryebd,

    If the approver has not accepted this agreement, then the transaction would have been cancelled automatically, and you can start with a new process.

  • Followed lead changes and deletions via the API

    Hello

    We use the API block for extract contacts and records every night for the storage of data.  For now, enter us all the records where the field of creation or last update happened the last time sync ran.  Since a large number of areas (e.g. partitions) are updated, which seems to result in almost a full (slow) re - sync every day.  Also, that leash not does any way to identify that were deleted to Eloqua, then we can also remove it from our warehouse.  Is there a better way to do it?  It doesn't seem like there is no available activities representing the field changes or deletes Records unless I'm missing something.

    Thank you

    Shane

    Hi Shane,

    Unfortunately at this time, the only way to draw from these data is the date of last modification, which as you know is updated on the update of any field. Subscribe to specific field changes and destruction Records are things we look for in the implementation via the Firehose API, however, there is no firm plan in place yet.

    Thank you

  • Get to Eloqua 9 data via the API?

    Can anyone shed light on what is available via the Eloqua9 API to get the Eloqua data and also have a system (such as SQL2012) external data in Eloqua push? We are trying to implement the data cleanup efforts in our new tool of Data Quality Services and we would like to integrate with Eloqua. Can you give us some insight and detail on what we can and cannot do?

    Dennis,

    It depends on your business case here and the volume of data.

    Eloqua offers various options of the Soap API & REST.

    Also low volume & bulk options as well.

    For E9, you can start going through the documentation of the Soap API at the following link: -.

    https://www.eloquatrainingcenter.com/Portal/documentation/API/default.htm

    For authentication and exploitation of low volume of use of the WSDL for the Service: https://secure.eloqua.com/API/1.2/Service.svc?wsdl

    More data volume use the WSDL Service of data: https://secure.eloqua.com/API/1.2/DataTransferService.svc?wsdl

    An air of challenge, you can accomplish connecting SQL2012 to Eloqua defining HTTP endpoints and using components of script for mappings of field and transfer data using SSIS.

    For a more robust solution I would develop a .net stand alone application, and you can call it of SSIS in order automation and business intelligence.

    Good luck

  • Calls via the API

    Hi all

    We are currently working on a web form, we have created a number of calls. Ideally, we would like a call from the parents and a couple of related calls that would be created in the screen through the API.

    Looking the doco, it seems you should be able to use the 'aCustomParameters' field to achieve this. However, I just see KB 2010464, which seems to indicate that it wouldn't quite as simle as this (9.0 in any case).

    I was wondering if someone actually did.

    We're currently on 9.1.5.

    See you soon,.

    Ray

    It's a little weird. Because I did a few tests before posting my previous answers.

    I tried to link two existing calls with two CallUpdate transactions (but not link to CallCreate) and it worked really well.

    Execute transactions of ExecuteQueryAction gave positive results as well.

    So could you explain how you were doing the binding? Your note "creating new calls related appeal existing parent" I guess you do somehow differently.

    Another reason could be the version of the product. I did my tests on 9.2.0. So I guess that it is absolutely possible that something was set inside the API code from 9.1.5.

    Gytis


    Edit: I tried to bind a call at the time where it is created with the CallCreate transaction (also, you need to update parent after that). Works fine as well.

  • V8: Adding the extension to a data request created via the API

    Infra Enterprise version: 8.0.34.0

    Version of database: Oracle 9i 9.2.0.6.0

    I create a web application that registers a specific request through the RequestCreate API function. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be any support to add data to the extension fields created from application designer. I thought to add data manually by using an insert statement. Is the Ref table su_extension_data field an auto-increment field or do I need get the max (ref), add 1, use either the ref to new records? It seems that, based on the infra_queries.sql file, I provide the ref for the extension data.

    All this seems to be a recipe for disaster. Is there a better way to add extension information to a request?

    Thank you

    All references are managed by the SU_NUMBER_ALLOC table. The NUMBER_ALLOC column is the next value to be used for the table defined in the column TABLE_ALLOC. If the value should be incremented or as kentyrr suggested to use the procedure stored in the ALLOCATEUNIQUEREF.

    You need to expand the stored procedure / SQL custom that will insert the extension using ALLOCATEUNIQUEREF fields and call using the function API ExecuteQuery. If you insert multiple extension fields, you can use the nQuantity parameter in order to book a bunch of refs for your instructions insert only once.

  • How reduce/resize the width of the objects (AIArtHandle) via the API?

    Hi all

    I want to know how can I resize the width / length of s?

    I went through the API and got some useful suite as AITransformArtSuite. But I'm unable to use its TransformArt method. given that I don't know how to create the appropriate AIRealMatrix.

    Please show me how to do it.

    Thank you

    D.A.

    Hello

    I use the AITransformArtSuite like this:

    Matrix AIRealMatrix;

    Linda ScaleX, ScaleY;

    AIArtHandle MyArt.

    sMath-> AIRealMatrixSetIdentity (& matrix);

    ScaleX = 0.5;

    ScaleY = 0.5;

    sMath-> AIRealMatrixSetScale (& matrix, ScaleX, ScaleY);

    error = sAITransformArt-> TransformArt (MyArt, & matrix, 1.0, kTransformObjects);

    For me, it works.

  • How to set the digital format via the API

    Hello

    I have a utility that imports limit of external resources and that the utility (c#) I would need to change the digital representation so that what is defined as hex in the external resource should appear after imported to TS so hexa.

    Can U help out me if it is possible with the API, and if so, what is the good methods for doing this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Only a few minutes ago, we have found this solution work:

    x.NumericFormat = "%#X";  where x is the PropertyObject pointing to the number. It is just not documented anywhere for this method that you can use X for hex.

  • Cannot update the metadata via the API

    Is there something wrong with the simple ordinary call?

    curl-x PUT d ' data = {"version": "0.2.0"}' https://build.PhoneGap.com/API/v1/apps/234...0?auth_token=x...Y

    I want to just update the title and some version information in the application before the build... but even if I get a 200 and information, the version is not updated.

    Any ideas?

    Yes as said Kerri, meta-data need to be updated through the config.xml file. It looks that the docs indicate that the meta-data can be updated through the API settings, but this isn't the case. Ensure that the updated docs up-to-date.

  • Forms customization affects the migration of data via the API?

    Hello!

    We are in Oracle HRMS R12.1.3 update 11.5.10.2 and in the process of migrating data using API

    We have some forms of personalization in place (in the form of people PERWSHRG) w/c requires certain fields to be mandatory (required field).

    For example, the field country of birth where we used the customization to have the required field.

    HR (country of birth) data contains null values.

    It will throw an error during execution of the API?

    Please notify.

    Kind regards

    Elmer

    No error is thrown during execution of the API as the customization of forms does not change the column (field) to the level of database property

    and API only checks the constraints at the level of the database.

  • Data recovery of activity of direct contact via the API

    Is it possible to recover data from activity of Contacts as Email opens, Landing Page visits, Click-through, etc. via a call from Eloqua API (for example, the query after an address Email Contacts or Eloqua ID) - best deal using PHP?

    Which API - SOAP or REST didn't matter to many in this case, interest if it works in general.

    Anyone have any idea?

    Turn back on the age-old question to answer update for anyone who comes here.

    Your best is now to use the REST in bulk API v2.0 out of contact activities.  See the documentation on bulk API v2.0 Documentation.
