Interface Description
api.v3.admin.SnapshotService
Introduction
The current document is a description of the Mindbreeze InSpire api.v3.admin.SnapshotService API use cases and interface. Through configuration parameters and so-called “Development Snapshots”, changes to …
- the Mindbreeze Service configuration (add/remove and customize connectors, indices, filters, client services, ...)
- the semantics pipeline
- the Query Transformation Pipeline
- InSpire Insight Apps
- Any resource files like boosts, relevance parameters
... can be exported as a development snapshot and then automatically transferred to production. Any settings (e.g. the data source URL to be indexed) can be overwritten locally as parameters on the respective environment. This ensures that the production data sources are indexed productively and the developer data sources in the development system. Credentials, certificates are not stored and are preserved.
Using the api.v3.admin.SnapshotService API operations on Mindbreeze InSpire snapshots are possible.
Snapshot Concepts
Snapshot
A Mindbreeze InSpire snapshot is a state of the appliance configuration and data. This state can contain the Mindbreeze InSpire configuration, installed extensions, Insight Apps etc.
Snapshot Archive
A snapshot archive is a transportable snapshot. To restore a snapshot on another appliance an archive has to be created by exporting the snapshot. This archive is imported on the target appliance. After importing the archive, the snapshot is available on the target Mindbreeze InSpire appliance and can be restored there. Applying a snapshot restores the configuration and optional data in the state of the snapshot at the time of snapshot creation.
Authentication and Service Calling Convention
The Mindbreeze InSpire Administration API is available under the path (/api/v3/admin/) this includes the SnapshotService. The api is authenticated via Oauth Bearer Token authentication. For details to our Service Calling Convention please take a look at our SnapshotClient Java Sample in the Mindbreeze SDK.
