Delete a Materialized Model

{ deleteMaterializedModel }

Deletes a materialized data model

Method

/API3/dataSources/deleteMaterializedModel

API Section: /API3/dataSources

API Version: 3.0

From Release: 2023.10

Can be used by all user types

REST API and Client SDK libraries. REST APIs via POST actions only.

Input Parameters

Name

modelId

Type

string

Description

The item's system ID

Output Response

Successful Result Code

200

Response Type

ModifiedItemsResult

Description of Response Type

Generic API response object with success or failure flag and related messages.

Notes

Materialized models are data models that can be actively used for querying. They are not the same as the model definition files stored in the content managment system (which are used to create materialized models).Deleting the model does NOT delete the underlying database

Examples

Data Source Operations (JavaScript):

This example demonstrates how to operate with data sources.

The example uses API authentication driven from JavaScript. See Authentication APIs for alternatives.

// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 3.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mysite.com/api3/";

// step 1: authenticate admin account and get token
// NOTE: callApi method is a generic REST method shown below.
let token = callApi("authentication/authenticateUser",{
	"userName":"adminUser",
	"password":"12345678"
},"",false);
log("got token "+token);

// step 2: find roles in the system
let findRole = callApi("access/getRolesByName",{
	"searchValue": "role1",
	"searchMatchType": 2//SearchMatchType.Equals
},token // admin token generated above
);
let roleId=findRole.data[0].roleId;
log("found role with id= "+ roleId);

// step 3: add a new data source server (IMDB)
let createDataServer = callApi("dataSources/createDataServer",{
	"serverName": "new server",
	"serverType":13,// use the server type enumeration. 13 = IMDB
	"serverIp": "172.29.3.178",
	"port":5060,
	"serverAuthenticationMethod":0,//ServerAuthenticationMethod.UserPassword
	"userName":"default",
	"password":"password",
},token // admin token generated above
);
let dataServerId=createDataServer.data.modifiedList[0].id;
log("created dataserver= "+ dataServerId);

// step 4: secure server from step 3 with roles
let addRolesToServer = callApi("dataSources/addRolesToServer",{
	"itemId":dataServerId,
	"itemRolePairList":[{
		"roleId":roleId,
		"accessType":2//AccessType.Read
	}]
},token);
log("added role1 to the newly created server");

// step 5: optional: check the roels on the server
let getRolesByServer= callApi("dataSources/getRolesByServer",dataServerId,token);

// step 6: recognize an existing database on the server
//use this method when you want to address the database in Pyramid
let recognizeDataBase = callApi("dataSources/recognizeDataBase",{
	"serverId":dataServerId, //this comes from step 3 above
	"dbName":"PyramidDemo"
},token);
let databaseId=recognizeDataBase.data.modifiedList[0].id;
log("found database "+databaseId+" at the dataserver");

// step 7: secure the database from step 3 with roles
let addRolesToDataBase = callApi("dataSources/addRolesToDataBase",{
	"itemId":databaseId,
	"itemRolePairList":[{
		"roleId":roleId,
		"accessType":3//AccessType.Write
	}]
},token);

// step 8A: read in an existing data model from a PIE file
let file="http://myOtherSite.com/SampleModel.pie";
let modelData=readPieFile(file);

// step 8B: import the file content into Pyramid
let importModel = callApi("dataSources/importModel",{
	"fileZippedData":modelData, //model data from step 8A
	"databaseId":databaseId, //from step 6
	"materializedRoleAssignmentType":3//MaterializedRoleAssignmentType.ForceParentRoles
},token).data;


// step 9: secure the model from step 3 with roles
let addRolesToModel = callApi("dataSources/addRolesToModel",{
	"itemId":importModel.modelId, //from step 8B
	"itemRolePairList":[{
		"roleId":roleId,
		"accessType":3//AccessType.Write
	}]
},token);

//step 10: delete the model
let deleteMaterializedModel = callApi("dataSources/deleteMaterializedModel",importModel.modelId,token);


//step 11: delete the database
let deleteDataBase=callApi("dataSources/deleteDataBase",databaseId,token);

//step 12: delete the dta source (server)
let deleteDataSource = callApi("dataSources/deleteDataSource",dataServerId,token);

function log(msg){
	document.write(msg);
	console.log(msg);
}

// ##### generic REST API calling method ##############
function callApi(path,data,token="",parseResult=true){
	var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
	xhttp.open("POST", pyramidURL+path, false);
	xhttp.setRequestHeader("paToken",token)
	xhttp.send(JSON.stringify(data));
	if(parseResult){
		return JSON.parse(xhttp.responseText);
	}else{
		return xhttp.responseText;
	}
}

//example function to read in the contents of a 'PIE' file that contains
//exported Pyramid content.
function readPieFile(file){
	var rawFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
	rawFile.open("GET", file, false);
	rawFile.send(null);
	rawFile.onreadystatechange = function () {
		if (request.readyState === 4 && request.status === 200) {
			return request.responseText;
        }
    }
}
