Using the Cognos Command Center REST API

Edit online

The IBM® Cognos® Command Center REST API automates the functions available in the IBM Cognos Command Center. The API uses the representational state transfer (REST) web services architecture.

Use the Cognos Command Center REST API to send HTTP Secure (HTTPS) requests to the Cognos Command Center server to run the following Cognos Command Center tasks:

  • Logging on to, and off from, the Cognos Command Center server.
  • Retrieving all ecosystems, environments, and processes available to the currently logged on user.
  • Retrieving all process variables for a process.
  • Retrieving the last run of a process.
  • Starting a new run of a process.
  • Retrieving, restarting, pausing, or stopping a specific process run.
  • Retrieving the status of an asynchronous run of a process.

The response from the server contains data about any actions that are run. Data sent to and retrieved from the server is in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
