Modifying the API assignment

By default, the Guardium application comes with setup data that links many of the API functions to reports; providing users, through the GUI, with prepared calls to APIs from reporting data. Use API Assignment to link additional API functions to predefined Guardium reports or custom reports.

About this task

For more information on using linked API functions, see the documentation on GuardAPI Input Generation.

Procedure

  1. In the Query Name row, click show advanced options, then click API Assignment to open the API Assignment panel; showing the current API functions that are mapped to the selected report. If there are no fields in the report that are linked to API parameters, it might be irrelevant to link an API function to a report. The mapping of API parameters to report fields can be accomplished through both the GUI and the CLI. For additional information on mapping API parameters to report fields, see Mapping GuardAPI Parameters to Domain Entities and Attributes in the GuardAPI Input Generation section.
  2. Click an API function to display a pop-up window of the current API - Report Parameter Mapping; showing the API parameters, if the API parameters are required, any default values, and if any of the report fields are currently mapped to those parameters.
  3. Click the greater-than sign '>' to add the selected API function to the current list of functions that are assigned to this report.
  4. Click Apply to save the changes.
