Jive REST API to write or update - read only properties

kameet Aug 19, 2014 9:43 PM

Hello all,

While using Jive REST API - there are many properties that have mode as read-only. If i need to write on those or update those, what is the best way to do that ? So to give an example

I have a utility that will be reading values from a database and using Jive REST API to post a discussion in a community . So say i have values for a post i.e when the post was first created and last updated

IN Jive API - the property is

updated

ISO 8601 Date

read-only

Date and time this content object was most recently updated.

published

ISO 8601 Date

read-only

Date and time when this content object was originally created.

But since the mode is read-only , it cannot be modified right ? What are my options to reflect the dates correct - when I create this post in Jive community using Jive REST API

Thanks

Ameet

Hey Amit,

If you are on Jive Cloud they added a new feature recently (I believe in Jive 8c2 but don't hold me to that) that allows you to back date content. The best (read: only) documentation I could find on this was on the developer webinar slide deck here: 2014-Q2 Jive Developer Webinar - Recording Now Available I have attached a screenshot of slide 40, which is the one you are interested in.

Ryan Rutan do you know which version of on-premise this feature will become available in?

Hope that helps
Craig

  Thanks for the information Craig. So is this feature available in Jive 8.xx? We tried using this in Jive 7.x and we were able to create resources but as of today's date ?
  Any other solution Ryan Rutan ?

    Hi,
    As far as i remember, this feature is suppose to be in spring release of jive cloud.
    Hosted and on-prem customers might have to wait more to get this feature.

      Pawan Shah is correct. This feature is for the Jive 8.x series of cloud releases, and will be available in the Jive 8 release cut at the end of that series for On-Prem/Hosted.

  Thanks @craig reeves
  backdating works on 8.0.X version.
  but when it is combined with run-as it gives http error code 403.
  Ryan Rutan any pointer to this problem. This is a blocker.

    Let me escalate this internally and see what's up. Haven't tried this cross-section yet personally.

      Hello Rayan,
      Do we have any update on using backdating + runas together?

        These two features should together in the next Jive Cloud release (coming next week) and Jive 8, per the issue: JIVE-47220. Sorry for the delay in response =\

        Hello Ryan,
        Can you confirm this feature has been now added to Jive Cloud release as I cannot find track anywhere of JIVE-47220?
        Thanks!
