Generic Methods
These are adapter methods that IAP or you may use. There are other methods not shown here that can be used for internal adapter functionality.
NOTE: Each adapter should have a CALLS.md file for you to reference.
| Method Signature | Description | Workflow? |
|---|---|---|
| connect() | This call is run when the adapter is first loaded by the Itential Platform. It validates the properties have been provided correctly. | No |
| healthCheck(callback) | This call ensures that the adapter can communicate with Atlassian Jira. The actual call that is used is defined in the adapter properties and .system entities action.json file. | No |
| refreshProperties(properties) | This call provides the adapter the ability to accept property changes without having to restart the adapter. | No |
| encryptProperty(property, technique, callback) | This call will take the provided property and technique, and return the property encrypted with the technique. This allows the property to be used in the adapterProps section for the credential password so that the password does not have to be in clear text. The adapter will decrypt the property as needed for communications with Atlassian Jira. | No |
| iapUpdateAdapterConfiguration(configFile, changes, entity, type, action, callback) | This call provides the ability to update the adapter configuration from IAP - includes actions, schema, mockdata and other configurations. | Yes |
| iapFindAdapterPath(apiPath, callback) | This call provides the ability to see if a particular API path is supported by the adapter. | Yes |
| iapSuspendAdapter(mode, callback) | This call provides the ability to suspend the adapter and either have requests rejected or put into a queue to be processed after the adapter is resumed. | Yes |
| iapUnsuspendAdapter(callback) | This call provides the ability to resume a suspended adapter. Any requests in queue will be processed before new requests. | Yes |
| iapGetAdapterQueue(callback) | This call will return the requests that are waiting in the queue if throttling is enabled. | Yes |
| iapTroubleshootAdapter(props, persistFlag, adapter, callback) | This call can be used to check on the performance of the adapter - it checks connectivity, healthcheck and basic get calls. | Yes |
| iapRunAdapterHealthcheck(adapter, callback) | This call will return the results of a healthcheck. | Yes |
| iapRunAdapterConnectivity(callback) | This call will return the results of a connectivity check. | Yes |
| iapRunAdapterBasicGet(callback) | This call will return the results of running basic get API calls. | Yes |
| iapMoveAdapterEntitiesToDB(callback) | This call will push the adapter configuration from the entities directory into the Adapter or IAP Database. | Yes |
| genericAdapterRequest(uriPath, restMethod, queryData, requestBody, addlHeaders, callback) | This call allows you to provide the path to have the adapter call. It is an easy way to incorporate paths that have not been built into the adapter yet. | Yes |
| genericAdapterRequestNoBasePath(uriPath, restMethod, queryData, requestBody, addlHeaders, callback) | This call is the same as the genericAdapterRequest only it does not add a base_path or version to the call. | Yes |
| iapHasAdapterEntity(entityType, entityId, callback) | This call verifies the adapter has the specific entity. | No |
| iapVerifyAdapterCapability(entityType, actionType, entityId, callback) | This call verifies the adapter can perform the provided action on the specific entity. | No |
| iapUpdateAdapterEntityCache() | This call will update the entity cache. | No |
ADAPTER.JS
constructor(prongid, properties) {
// Instantiate the AdapterBase super class
super(prongid, properties);
// Uncomment if you have things to add to the constructor like using your own properties.
// Otherwise the constructor in the adapterBase will be used.
// Capture my own properties -they need to be defined in propertiesSchema.json
if (this.allProps && this.allProps.myownproperty) {
mypropvariable = this.allProps.myownproperty;
}
}
healthCheck(reqObj, callback) {
hasEntity(entityType, entityId, callback) {
verifyCapability(entityType, actionType, entityId, callback) {
updateEntityCache() {
Adapter Broker Calls
These are adapter methods used to integrate with IAP Brokers.
| Method Signature | Description | Workflow? |
|---|---|---|
| hasEntities(entityType, entityList, callback) | This call is utilized by the IAP Device Broker to determine if the adapter has a specific entity and item of the entity. | No |
| getDevice(deviceName, callback) | This call returns the details of the requested device. | Yes |
| getDevicesFiltered(options, callback) | This call returns the list of devices that match the criteria provided in the options filter. | Yes |
| isAlive(deviceName, callback) | This call returns whether the device status is active | Yes |
| getConfig(deviceName, format, callback) | This call returns the configuration for the selected device. | Yes |
| iapGetDeviceCount(callback) | This call returns the count of devices. | Yes |
