Templatize Bundle from RESTMAN?

[Alejandro Calbazana]

Hello,

 

Is it possible to templatize a bundle fetched using RESTMAN API?  I'm considering using the API to perform migrations, but I need template support.  As far as I can tell, the GMU only delivers this support.  GMU doesn't play nice with export bundles because the scheme is different.  Any hints?

 

Thanks,

 

Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,

Unfortunately, this is not a feature of the RESTMAN API. It is something that has been discussed internally but not yet scheduled.

 

What do you mean when you say: "GMU doesn't play nice with export bundles because the scheme is different"? 

Can you try with a newer version of GMU is you are not using the latest.

Hey Victor,

 

When I say GMU doesn't play nice with exported bundles from the API, I mean that the document structures are different and GMU isn't able to process it as it.

 

• Bundles from the API have a document root of "Item" with child elements that GMU doesn't care about... 
• GMU wants a document root of "Bundle"

 

The GMU must apply some light transformation to the document to extract the Bundle from the Item/Resource elements.  I tried this by hand and it works as expected.

 

Really wish the API was able to templatize...

 

Thanks,

 

Alejandro
