worklight adapter - ibm-mobilefirst

I am getting a problem in worklight adapter , In the following http adapter method
,it is showing The mandatory parameter 'action' is missing, returning statusCode as
500 and statusReason as "Internal Server Error". I had given all the user credentials
correctly in adapter xml file, but I don't know why I'm getting this error.
Code:
function actionOnProcessInstance()
{
var param = "/rest/bpm/bfm/v1/process/_PI:9003013d.4387342e.1efe573f.7c20307?action=resume";
var input =
{
method : 'put',
returnedContentType : 'json',
path : param,
};
var response = WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
return response;
}

In 5.0.5.x, invokeHttp will take any params provided on the path for put and post and place them inside the http body instead of having them remain on the path as query params (as the developer probably intended). This behavior will be updated in an upcoming version but for now there's no way to force these to stay as query params.

Successful Login to API; Unsuccessful at accessing any data due to being unauthorized

I am attempting to come up with a live leaderboard for my local club using the PDGA's (Professional Disc Golf Association) API. I am writing a Google Apps Script intending to auto populate a Google Sheet with a Club Ranking that can be refreshed as needed.
Right now, all I am trying to do is make pull of data to ensure I am able to begin using the API, but I can't seem to do even that.
For reference, here are the only two resources I have to work with regarding this specific API:
PDGA REST API Authentication
PDGA REST API Services
I have got the original login to work using this code:
function apiLogin() {
var LoginUrl = 'https://api.pdga.com/services/json/user/login';
var LoginDetails = {
'username' : Username,
'password' : Password
};
var LoginRequest = {
'method' : 'post',
'Content-Type' : 'application/json',
'payload' : LoginDetails
};
var LoginResponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch(LoginUrl, LoginRequest);
var json = LoginResponse.getContentText();
var LoginData = JSON.parse(json);
Logger.log(LoginData);
var SessionID = LoginData['sessid'];
var SessionName = LoginData['session_name'];
var Tok = LoginData['token'];
var playerFetchPar = {
'method' : 'get',
'Cookie' : SessionID + '=' + SessionName
};
var PlayerResponse = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://api.pdga.com/services/json/players?pdga_number=1',playerFetchPar); //ERROR
Logger.log(PlayerResponse);
};
It's the last part when I am trying to call on data from a player that I get the following error message:
Exception: Request failed for https://api.pdga.com returned code 403. Truncated server response: ["Access denied for user anonymous"] (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response)
I am guessing that my screw up is in my interpretion of the parameter Cookie from that second link. In the initial response to make sure I was logging in properly, I received a session_name and sessid but I can't seem to figure out what is expected from Cookie. I am sorry if the answer is obvious, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
The documentation says
Cookie: session_name=sessid
You've used
Cookie: sessid=session_name
Reverse it:
'Cookie' : `${SessionName}=${SessionID}`
And you need to send it as a header:
const playerFetchPar = {
method : 'get',
headers: {'Cookie' : `${SessionName}=${SessionID}`}
};

How to read the contents of a Post request on Postman?

In the systems I am testing, there are cases that the response informs 200 (ok), but the content may indicate an error in the internal validations of the backend service. How can I read the contents of the response with Postman and schedule a successful validation if this service error code comes as expected?
You can use the tests tab in Postman to run checks on the body (JSON and XML). There are snippets which show you the syntax. You can adapt them to check for the element of the response body which indicates the error.
Postman has a tab called "Tests" where you can provide you test script for execution.
If you want to validate your request responded with 200 OK, following is the script
pm.test("Status test", function () {
pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});
If you want to validate the response contains any specified string,
pm.test("Body matches string", function () {
pm.expect(pm.response.text()).to.include("string_you_want_to_search");
});
In your case am assuming the above script can be used. In case the response body is JSON,
pm.test("JSON Body match", function () {
var respBody = pm.response.json();
pm.expect(respBody.<json node>).is.to.equal("Error_name");
});
Example JSON response body
{
"id" : 100,
"status" : "Bad Request"
}
pm.test("JSON Body matches string", function () {
var respBody = pm.response.json();
pm.expect(respBody.status).is.to.equal("Bad Request");
});

Requesting parameters are not sent over API in ionic 2

I am trying to send the the parameters using a post request but the parameters are not reaching to provide back the desired result and printing null as a result in console. here is my code
var headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' );
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
let postParams = {
acesscode: 'XXXXXXXXXXX',
productCode:'XXXXXXXXXX'
};
this.http.post("http://www.ebiebook.com/drmapi/v1/details", JSON.stringify(postParams), options)
.subscribe(data => {
console.log(data['_body']);
}, error => {
console.log(error);// Error getting the data
});
}
and the output screen is attached, It shows API is hitting well but the parameters data is unable to reach to provide the corresponding result. Please suggest.
This print you have attached does not show what is being sent by the request, instead it shows only the response your browser received from the server.
You better take a look at this thread here to see in this thread more about. You have to check the 'Headers' tab from Chrome's console -> Network.

worklight http adapter authentication issue with apache

I'm working on a mobile prof-of-concept using IBM's Worklight (6.1) to retrieve info via HTTP server (Apache) running on a mainframe (z/OS). I'm using the HTTP adapter procedure to log-on and retrieve data but I so far no success logging on via Worklight HTTP adapter. If I open a browser and provide the 'user:password' headers, the log-in is successful but if I try it via Worklight procedure, the '401 authorization required' error is returned. The HTTP server error log shows:
.. (139)EDC5139I Operation not permitted. (errno2=0x0BE800DB): SAF
authentication failure for "/cgi-bin/itil_v11_main.sh": SAFRunAs
failure on switching SAF UID from Authorization header using
%%CLIENT%% .. user (\xe1\xcb: authentication failure for
"/cgi-bin/itil_v11_main.sh": Password Mismatch
That 'password mismatch' may suggest the 'headers' are not correct? Here's the procedure:
var user_id = 'userid';
var user_psw = 'userpassword';
var loginstring ;
var base64= new com.worklight.customcode.Base64Encoding();
function getITIL() {
loginstring = base64.encode(user_id+':'+user_psw);
var path = '/cgi-bin/itil_v11_main.sh';
var input = {
method : 'get',
headers : {
'Authorization' : 'Basic ' + loginstring
},
returnedContentType : 'html',
path : path
};
return WL.Server.invokeHttp(input);
}
It seems like you've implemented it correctly, however the complaint is on the password, which in your case originates from var base64= new com.worklight.customcode.Base64Encoding();.
Because you do not supply the code that you are using in said class, it's difficult to say what the error is, but that is where you should look at for the cause of your error.
You'll need to provide the class's implementation in order to further debug the question.

unable to get the cross domain json response using script tag proxy

I am using a script tag proxy like this:
Ext.regModel('login',{fields:['status']});
var loginstore = new Ext.data.Store({ model:'login', proxy:{type:'scripttag',url:'myurl',reader:{type:'json',root:'data'}},autoLoad : true,});
loginstore.load();
In that, the url will return the response format below:
{"data":{"status":"error"}}
I am getting the error:
unexpected token :
Why am I getting this error? What are all the other ways to get the json response from cross domain without callback key and yql.
You cannot use scripttagproxy like that. Please have a look at this thread.
After you configure your server and callback function. You might want to try simpler method to call your cross-domain request as follows.
Ext.util.JSONP.request({
url: some_cross_domain_url,
params: {param1: "something", param2: ...}
callback:function(response){
//response here will be JSON object.
}
});
Please also have a look at this simple tutorial about how to configure your JSONP request.
