allowed_list

This command retrieves a list of allowed values for a given parent key. For example, if modules (MODULE_ID) in your installation are dependent upon products (PRODUCT_NAME), then you can use this function to find all the valid modules for a given product. The command can also be used to retrieve the values in a specified list only.

SYNTAX

http://www.myserver.com/evj/ExtraView/ev_api.action?
user_id=username
&password=password
&statevar=allowed_list
&field=field_name
&parent=parent_field_name
&parent_val=product_name

NOTES

Both the field_name and the product_name must exist else the command will fail.

The delimiter of a colon (:) in the example is the system delimiter stored in the behavior setting named DEFAULT_TEXT_REPORT_DELIMITER.

If you only specify the field without the parent and parent_val, the command will return a list of all the values of the field.

EXAMPLE

The following URL retrieves a list of modules for the product named WIDGET.

http://www.myserver.com/evj/ExtraView/ev_api.action?
user_id=username
&password=password
&statevar=allowed_list
&field=MODULE_ID
&parent=PRODUCT_NAME
&parent_val=WIDGET


This will produce output similar to the following:

1022:POWER_SUPPLY
1032:CASE
1203:MOTHERBOARD
1255:KEYBOARD
1334:MOUSE
1432:MONITOR
