Can we add/modify System properties in Jive cloud instance?

Best Regards

Unfortunately not. If you want to manage properties/metadata for your add-on, you can use the ExtProps service:
Jive REST Rest API v3.6 → ExtProps service

Hope this helps.

  Hi Ryan Rutan
  
  Thanks for the reply!
  As we are using few system properties like:
  html.widget.safemode.enabled = true
  spring.userDataSynchronizationTask.cronExpression
  
  Do you have any example, How can I achieve this using ExtProps service?
  
  Best Regards

    If you are trying to impact Jive core properties, this will not work. ExtProps allows for Add-Ons/Clients to store meta-data related to their functional but there is no read or write access to the System Properties table from the ExtProps service. Hope that helps clear up the confusion.

      Hi Ryan Rutan
      
      We are using below system properties.
      
      jive.htmlwidget.cleansejavascript=false
      html.widget.safemode.enabled = true
      skin.default.landingpage
      override.WelcomeConfiguration.isSimplifiedVisible = true
      spring.userDataSynchronizationTask.cronExpression
      skin.default.usersChooseHomepage
      
      As you suggested, we can’t update this system properties using ExtProps service.
      
      What is the option available for cloud customers to add/modify above system properties?
      Can Jive update these system properties from back-end if customer doesn't have access on it using Admin console?
      
      Thanks in Advance!
      
      Best Regards

        That will be a question for support. I know that they are able to make changes to system properties, but I dont know which ones are restricted/allowed. They will be the best people to loop in for your answer =)

  Hi Ryan Rutan
  
  Do you have any example (Add-on) available that help to manage system properties using ExtProps service?
  
  Thanks in Advance.

    ExtProps and System Properties are 2 different things. System Properties can be managed via the Admin Properties service:
    https://developers.jivesoftware.com/api/v3/cloud/rest/JivePropertyService.html
    
    ExtProps that are System-Level, are ExtProps that are for a specific add-on that are not tied to a Jive Object.
    https://developers.jivesoftware.com/api/v3/cloud/rest/ExtPropsService.html
    
    ExtProps only works with OAuth, while Admin Properties can be used via HTTP Basic.
    
    Hope that helps, distinguish the two.

        Here are 2 curl's that should help. Note: user:pass should be the account information of an administrative account.
        
        Create new property (will fail if property already exists)
        
        curl -X POST -s -i -u "user:pass" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{'name': 'your.property.name', 'value' : 'your.property.value' }" "$jiveurl/api/core/v3/admin/properties"
        
        Update existing property
        
        curl -X PUT -s -i -u "user:pass" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{'name': 'your.property.name', 'value' : 'your.property.value' }" "$jiveurl/api/core/v3/admin/properties/your.property.name"
        
        For more service details, see:
        Jive REST Rest API v3.8 → JiveProperty service

        Hi Ryan Rutan
        
        I have tried to add system properties using Admin Properties service on our trial cloud instance. It seems like it’s not working. I am running following Curl command and this doesn't make any change in our trail instance.
        
        Can you please advice me on this?

        These properties must be set by a full access admin, which is probably the problem. If you can see the system properties feature in the admin console and it's not working then I would file a support ticket.
        
        If you are running cloud, you may not be able to access this service, as you may not have access. An alternative is to use the ExtProps service.
