REST Overview Novel

It maybe issue with limited count of records that return by default.

Try to add
key=“DefaultMaxRowCount” value=“0” into web.config appSettings section.

I figured out a workaround. I can’t use Labor BO to query LaborDtl. I can’t use LaborDtl becuase it’s depricated. I had to use instead the LaborDtlSearches and that was ok. Contract.Labor in BL tester I get what I need but something in the API is goofy with that one. Oh well got a workaround none the less.

I have a certificate setup and successfully in use, and we just checked the checkbox for REST, but we’re getting a 500 Internal Error trying to perform any task through REST. Even in swagger, if I click the link to any of the services I get this:

500 : Sorry! Something went wrong. Please contact your system administrator. https://ourserver/ourapp/api/swagger/v1/odata/Erp.BO.ABCCodeSvc

Can you browse the help page?

Yes, I can, and I get the list of services and all, but as soon as I click on the service to view the details that 500 error is what I receive.

What do you see in your EventViewer on the server side?

1 Like

Nothing of significance. I’ve even run this from the server, and I get the same error, but nothing in the event viewer. This is what I get in the server trace log (after enabling logging for rest).

I should note I have Windows Authentication enabled on the instance web site. I was trying to get SSO working. If I turn off Windows Authentication I receive the same error from swagger on the ABCCodeSvc web page, and the same error in the trace log, just with the Auth Header scheme changed to Basic.

Try creating a WindowsChannel App Server and using it there… I suspect the SSO/WindowsAuth stuff is causing issues.

We’re currently using a Windows Channel app server. That’s why I tried using SSO. I’ll try setting this up in another environment. Maybe something went awry during initial installation.

After creating a completely new app pool, I’m getting the following errors in event viewer now when I try to get to the ABCCodeSvc in Help:

Have you tried another Service? I had issues with 1 service but everything else worked fine

Every service I try produces the same result. What is odd, if I go to the BAQ section for the help it is able to “autofill” the BAQ Name field with our BAQs. So I can start typing in the field and it retrieves the list of BAQs that match what I typed in. I’m assuming those are built as needed and aren’t built at application pool startup.

Not sure what I did (just kept trying) now my API calls work. The help still performs the same (errors), but my API calls work.

Are the RESTful APIs the reason behind adding all of these new Endpoint bindings that I didn’t see in Epicor 10.0? HttpBinaryUsernameSslChannel, HttpsBinaryWindowsChannel, etc?

If not, any idea what these are for and how they differ from the ones we had in Epicor 10.0?

1 Like

I believe that most of these are for HTTPS deployments over the WAN… (Think SaaS)

REST does not use these endpoints,
They are for WCF clients.
Difference from e10.0 is these new endpoints are based on http, not on tcp.

Olga is correct. REST does not use WCF and is pure vanilla http(s).

Hey Guys,

I have been playing around with this REST custom methods stuff but I can’t seem to figure out the whereClause part, for instance how would I get a list with all parts that start with or equals CMD1 etc

I have tried guessing the syntax such as whereClause : “{“PartNum”:“CMD1”}” but this is more mongodb style than anything .

I cant seem to find the appropriate help document for this whereClause so if anyone can point me in the right direction it’ll be much appreciated?

Many Thanks
Lee
