Finding all the Data Sets in the Server

Problem

You want to obtain a list of all the previously created Data Sets contained in the PReS Connect Server potentially for use in a Content 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 Data Set Entity REST service:

Get All Data Sets

/rest/serverengine/entity/datasets

GET

Example

dse-get-all-datasets.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

                    <input id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
                </div>
            </fieldset>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

JavaScript/jQuery

dse-get-all-datasets.js

/* Data Set Entity Service - Get All Data Sets Example */
(function ($, c) {
    "use strict";
    $(function () {

        c.setupExample();

        $("form").on("submit", function (event) {

            event.preventDefault();
            if (!c.checkSessionValid()) return;

            $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url:  "/rest/serverengine/entity/datasets"
            })
                .done(function (response) {
                    c.displayStatus("Request Successful");
                    c.displayHeading("Data Set IDs");
                    c.displaySubResult("Plain", c.jsonIDListToPlain(response));
                    c.displaySubResult("JSON Identifier List", c.jsonPrettyPrint(response));
                })
                .fail(c.displayDefaultFailure);
        });
    });
}(jQuery, Common));
