Run a workflow via API

[michael_klaus]

Hello all

Is it possible to run a XMC Workflow or tasks from external via API? I didn’t find anythin in the API swagger.

The only idea I have is to register the external client as a Syslog client. On the client i would initiate a syslogmessage and then create an alarm for a syslog message that triggers a task.

OK,

You should check the permissions to access the NBI API.

You need to know that the permissions are updated (and not added by default) to the existing profiles.

At every release, new features are added and the permissions for those features have to be checked.

Here for the NBI:

If I add the user to the Group “NetSight Adminstrator”, it can see all workflows via NBI.

Michael,

Test this to confirm or not if it is a permission issue.

Let’s find a solution afterwards.

but finally I want to allow users without full permission to run the workflow via API. So it isn’t a solution to add it statically to “EMC-Administrator”
