Universal Template Web Services

Overview

Universal Controller supports the following RESTful-based web services for Universal Templates, which are listed alphabetically on this page.

Formatting specifications for each web service, including details about parameter requirements, are provided.

Note

You cannot create, read, modify, or list Built-In Universal Templates.

You can delete Built-In Universal Templates.

Auditing Universal Events

The Universal Event Web Service Publish Audit lets you specify whether or not an audit record is generated for each Universal Event published through the Universal Event Web Services.

(The Universal Event Extension Publish Audit lets you specify whether or not an audit record is generated for each Universal Event published through an Extension-based Universal Task Instance.)

Note

Enabling these audit properties can generate a large quantity of audit.

desktopInteract

Interact with Desktop

Specification for whether or not a task that runs an application with a GUI requires some manual actions from a user (for example, clicking buttons or entering values).

Boolean; Valid values: true/false. Default is false.
 
This property is effective only for tasks executed on Windows XP or Server 2003. Windows Vista introduced the desktop isolation feature, which prevents tasks from accessing the interactive desktop session on Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, Windows 8, and Server 2012. The Windows agent will execute the task, but the Interact with Desktop option has no effect. Therefore, an interactive application's GUI will not be visible on those platforms.

N


elevateUser

Run with Highest Privileges

Specification for whether or not to execute the task using an elevated privileges token, rather than one subject to User Account Control (UAC) restrictions. An elevated token allows a process to execute with all the privileges available to its specified credentials. For example, a task executed with an administrative account will behave as though it received permission via a UAC dialog to perform a privileged operation.

Boolean; Valid values: true/false. Default is false.
 
This property will not give a user account privileges that have are not already granted to it. For example, taking ownership of a file is a privileged operation by default. A task will still fail even with this option selected if it is run with a regular user account that has not been granted the ability to change file ownership.

N

Default is STDOUT (1).

N


retainSysIds

n/a

Specification for whether or not the Create a Universal Template web service will persist the sysId property.

Boolean; Valid values: true/false. Default is false.
 
For XML, retainSysIds is specified as an attribute on the universalTemplate element.
 
Used for both the Create and Update web services; for Update, it is used only for the related lists (Fields and Choices). It is recommended that retainSysIds be enabled when updating Choice values so that the command can determine which Choice values have been updated and propagate the new value to Universal Tasks using the previous Choice value.
 
If retainSysIds is not enabled when updating Choice values, the command can determine only which Choice values have been added or removed; Universal Tasks using the previous Choice values will not be updated.
