REST API BR for data being pushed into OneStream
Hello, I have a REST API which has been tested in POSTMAN. The problem is data is being pushed into OneStream. So how would this work in the BR. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Indu

OneStream EmployeeHi Indu,
That is correct. You can trigger the process using the OneStream REST API to trigger the DM job.
If you are trying to automate a workflow import, I would recommend using the Batch Harvest process where you would place trigger files (empty files) into the batch harvest directory on the file share which are named with the workflow, scenario, and period (see batch harvest in the design and reference guide for batch harvest naming conventions). Then from the Extensibility Business Rule, you can execute the Batch Harvest engine which will run the workflows. As each workflow runs, it will use a Connector Business rule which will then perform your steps 2 and 3 above, reaching out to the external API, parsing the data into a data table and passing it to the parser.
If you are automating some other type of data load, then it would all be done within the Extensibility Business Rule and would not involve workflows.
Hope this helps!
