IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center REST API and server SHOW commands

Question & Answer


Question

Can IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center REST API be used with server SHOW commands?

Answer

No. The SHOW commands are unsupported and typically only used by IBM Development or Technical Support.
Many are also very resource intensive and disabled by default on spoke servers.
This is why using REST API to run a server SHOW command (ie. SHOW CONFIG) will fail reporting the following error in the console.out log file:
