Finding all the Content Sets in the Server

Problem

You want to obtain a list of all the previously created Content Sets contained in the PReS Connect Server potentially for use in a Job Creation operation.

Solution

The solution is to create a request using the following URI and method type and submit it to the server via the Content Set Entity REST service:

Get All Content Sets

/rest/serverengine/entity/contentsets

GET
