What values to use for linkExternalObject action on project object? - workfront-api

I'm trying to link external folder using Workfront API (v12) using linkExternalObject action on a project.
According to Api Explorer it takes 5 arguments:
objID (string)
linkedObjectID (string)
integrationType (string)
URL(string)
params (string[])
This action is also described in Developer Documentation, but that doesn't help much.
I'm assuming that:
objID will be id of a folder (DOCFDR) that I can create using api.
integrationType should be WEBHOOKS, since I'm integrating with external storage via document webhooks.
Any idea if it's correct way to create a linked folder and where to take the remaining values from?
I tried creating Linked Folder (LNKFDR) directly, but it's not a top level object so I can't.
I tried looking up values for Linked Folder created via Workfront UI but that doesn't help much.
linkExternalObject action as documented in Api Explorer
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Custom Report in alfresco?

Currently i am generating a report (we are getting files are uploaded within a time stamp).
I am getting all files and folders.Iterating the result and checking created date one by one.That is taking too much time approx 8 min to revert with resuls.Can anyone tell me is there any alfresco report api that i can use? or using solr how to fetch the result?
I like to follow an approach which is maybe not really orthodox. Usually, you don't want to report on all documents, only document using a specific type or aspect. So, what I do is to create a Java behaviour on onCreate, onUpdate and onDelete that updates a custom database with only the metadata that I'm interested in. Then, I can connect any OOTB reporting tools such as Pentaho, Jasper or Tableau. You have of couse some other traditional alternatives, such as:
Using this module developed by a community member: http://fcorti.com/alfresco-audit-analysis-reporting/
Or using the module provided by Alfresco: http://docs.alfresco.com/analytics/concepts/analytics-using.html
SOLR/Lucene is not an option, querying DB directly is not an option either (performance wise).
I would suggest using one of the options available (AAAR for instance) or developing something on your own following the same principles.
I did little bit investigation on this and found below link.
http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/tasks/audit-recording-values.html
I think you can user auditService in alfresco and get your things done.There are few alfresco webservices(related to audit) already available which will allow you to filter response.In case if you need to customize it , than you can create webscript and use auditService in it.
You can use below url for browsing all your alfresco webservice.

Change repository name in Alfresco

Does anyone know how to set/change a repository name in alfresco?
id=-default-, name=, description=, capabilities=Repository Capabilities
The Alfresco CMIS calls started returning an empty string for name sometime around 5.0, I believe. According to the spec, the name is not a required piece of information. The server is required to return a unique ID for each repository in the system, but that's it.
I do not believe you can change the name without touching Alfresco CMIS implementation Java classes.
Besides, Alfresco only supports a single repository so a name isn't going to add a lot of value.

how to create a new folder using alfresco api

I have uploaded sample.zip file in this directory CompanyHome/site/testsite/documentlibrary/test.
Now I want to create new folder called childfolder under above directory [CompanyHome/site/testsite/documentlibrary/test/childfolder] and move the sample.zip under it.using Alfresco API how do i create child folder and move the file under newly created childfolder?
This really depends upon what version of Alfresco you're using and what API you want to use to do it. For example, assuming that you want to do this via a REST API then you have the option of CMIS, the recent "Public API" or the internal WebScript based API.
Alternatively, you might want to do this by using the JavaScript API and WebScript develop your own WebScripts.
There are lots of ways to achieve this - perhaps you can provide some more information on the overall picture of what you're trying to do and where you're trying to do this (e.g. as an extension of Share maybe?).
It's possible to create a folder within Share and if you do so whilst you have browser developer tools open you'll be able to see the exact REST API calls that are used.

Get property of object Alfresco

I'm using Alfresco 5.1 Community, and i'm trying to get a property of an object for example, in the user we have:
"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}companytelephone"
If I want to get the value of this property, how can I obtain this in javascript?
It depends where you're trying to do this, if you're doing this in a JavaScript controller for a WebScript on the Repository then you will be able to find most of the information in this Wiki page: https://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/JavaScript_API_Cookbook
If you're doing it in the JavaScript controller of a WebScript running on Share then for most objects you'll need to request the full metadata for the node by calling a REST API on the Repository.
In the case of the user, there is a "user" object available in WebScripts running on the Share tier.
There is lots of information on getting this kind of data with some basic Googling, I'd also recommend launching the Rhino debugger via the WebScripts index page so you can try evaluating JavaScript code (this works for both the Repository and for Share).

Reference docs for Azure Resource Templates

I am looking for reference docs for the Azure Resource Manager JSON templates. Does anyone know if there is reference material for these templates?
There is general reference for required parameters etc like at Create a template deployment.
I am basically looking for the full availability so I can correspond setup on the portal to the JSON template. Also availability of features with apiVersion releases. I remember there being a MSDN documentation for the changelog with api version releases but cannot find it now.
If you create a VM with the desired settings, extensions etc then you can view their json template via https://resources.azure.com/
This will give some visibility into the Classic* templates.
All of the ARM templates can be found on GitHub here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-resource-manager-schemas.
It includes preview templates and should provide all the information you're after to determine which features are present in which apiVersion release.
Microsoft has finally created what I was looking for 🎉: full documentation is now available at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-au/azure/templates/
After some digging I managed to get the following list of schemas:
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/deploymentTemplate.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-06-01/Microsoft.Web.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01-preview/Microsoft.Sql.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01/Microsoft.Insights.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-02-26/microsoft.visualstudio.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01-preview/Microsoft.Cache.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01/Microsoft.BizTalkServices.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-08-01/Microsoft.Scheduler.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01/SuccessBricks.ClearDB.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/Microsoft.Resources.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-01-01/Microsoft.Authorization.json
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-10-01-preview/Microsoft.Authorization.json
This list notably excludes:
Microsoft.ClassicCompute
Microsoft.ClassicStorage
Microsoft.ClassicNetwork
So I guess we're left to figure stuff out from the templates on those
To my mind we can dig that way:
open the azure-resource-manager schemas
Look at the main form below:
If you open properties, you will find the format that we need to fill:
open parameters and look at the structure:
$ref: #/definitions/parameter invite us to look at the same documents in definitions.parameters where you will find some documentation (like value you can use etc):
finally, if you look to properties.resources, you will find a list of url like:
{ "$ref": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-07-01-preview/Microsoft.ServerManagement.json#/resourceDefinitions/node" }
{ "$ref": "http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2015-07-01-preview/Microsoft.ServerManagement.json#/resourceDefinitions/gateway" }
if you open one of these url, you will find the JSON format you are looking for (here is a part of the first one):
There is not much available...
Azure Resource Manager Template Language
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/resource-group-authoring-templates/
And then you can look at the different json.schemas that I have managed to find
deploymentTemplate
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01-preview/deploymentTemplate.json
visualstudio
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-02-26/microsoft.visualstudio.json
Sql
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-06-01/2014-04-01-preview/Microsoft.Sql.json
Web
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-06-01/Microsoft.Web.json
deploymentParameters
http://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2014-04-01-preview/deploymentParameters.json
If you use Visual Studio to edit the json-template file you get intellisense (sometimes) which help a bit. But the lack of documentation is really annoying...for example I have no clue if the schemas listed above are the most recent or not, and I have no idea where to find which one is the most resent.
Edit:
I came across the list of additions and changes to the Service Management APIs. Seems to be a bit outdated, 2015-01-01 is the current version and it's not there.
Edit2:
With the Iaas updates at Build 2015, there seems to also be a lot of Azure Quickstart Templates. At minimum, they have the particular cases I was looking for with storage accounts.
