Notification: Create change subscription

Information noteLOCKED.

This API is extremely reliable and will not be broken unless absolutely necessary.

Method

POST

Path

/qrs/notification?name={typename}&id={id}&filter={filter}&condition={condition}&changetype={changeType}&propertyName={propertyName}

Description

Add a change subscription that makes the QRS call a URL when the specified entity has changed.

  • {typename}: To target a specific entity type, use {typename}.
  • {id}: To target a specific entity, use {id}.
  • {filter}: To target several entities (for example, all apps where the app name starts with “sales”), use {filter}. The filtering is limited to properties of the entity type, single references, and any depth of single children. The {propertyName} parameter supports base types, but not references or children. See Filtering.

    Information note

    The filter does not apply to deletion notifications. Notifications will be sent for all deletions affecting the entity type. For example, if you set filter=executingNodeName eq 'somehost.qliktech.com' and subscribe to deletion notifications for ExecutionResult, notifications will be sent for deletions of any ExecutionResult entity, not just for the ExecutionResult with the specified executingNodeName.

  • {condition}: To add a condition for activating the change subscription (for example, add a subscription to an app, if published = true), use {condition}.
  • Information noteThis functionality is under development and may change without prior notice.

  • {changeType}: To define the type of change to subscribe to, use {changeType}.
  • For example, to subscribe to updates with a specific filter use:To add a condition for activating the change subscription (for example, add a subscription to an app, if published = true), use {condition}.

    public enum ChangeType
           {
                  Undefined,
                  Add,
                  Update,
                  Delete
           }
  • {propertyName}: To target a specific property or de-select a property in favor of all other properties, use {propertyName}.
  • Examples:  

    Add a change subscription for apps with propertyName = "published" to call the URL whenever the published field is changed.

    Add a change subscription for apps with propertyName = "!published" to call the URL whenever anything other than the published flag and the ModifiedDate and ModifiedByUserName fields are changed.

    Information noteThe {propertyName} parameter supports base types, but not references or children.

    Add a change subscription for users whose names start with 'J' to call the URL whenever the user info is updated:

    https://<hostname>/qrs/notification?name=user&filter=Name sw 'J'&changetype=update&xrfkey=<yourXRFkey>

Body

string

The string contains a URL surrounded by double quotes. The URL represents an endpoint that can accept Post requests, for example, http://localhost:8080/notifyme.

Return value

A GUID, which is the {handle} of the notification. You can use it to remove the notification subscription. See Notification: Remove change subscription.
