Option 2: Using REST APIs

Publish Blueworks Live data to OpenPages:

Use the processData API to retrieve all process details from a diagram and use the OpenPages API to publish this data to OpenPages.

Use the get processData API to retrieve all elements of a process map:

A step by step tutorial of how to use the Blueworks Live APIs is published here:

https://community.ibm.com/community/user/automation/blogs/stephanie-wilkerson1/2020/12/15/do-more-with-the-rest-api-testing-tool

The Blueworks Live data can then be published into OpenPages using its APIs.

There are presently no APIs to update Blueworks Live properties, however there are APIs to update the glossary.

The Glossary Update API can be used to publish and update Risk and Control data into Blueworks Live as Glossary values.

Glossary values are used to pre-populate the values a user can choose from when interacting with a custom property. The Custom property list can be locked down to a fixed enumeration to prevent users from inputting random content.

Step 1: Create a custom property: You have the option of locking down the enumeration to avoid custom data entry.

Step 3: Select a risk value from the list during process mapping.

Step 4: the risk is now visible in the analysis view. ID and Rating can be embedded in the name field.

Step 5: the referenced hyperlink loads when clicking on the name in the Reference section.

Using the REST APIs to update Blueworks Live glossary values:

Sample CURL commands to update the glossary:

Enter a new glossary value:

curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer dKbFvKy34rw8AkDSnOshMZhrtExmmHAYslReUgjF" -H "Version:1.0" -H "Content-Type:application/json"-H "X-IBM-BWL-Account-Id:IBM172" -X PUT --data "[{\"name\":\"Risk 99: IR:H RR:H PA 5.3 NEW Failure\",\"description\":\"Failure to adhere to Responsible Lending obligations\"}]" "https://ibm.blueworkslive.com/bwl/glossary-values/My%20Risk"

value ID: "becd022aa" is returned

Update the description using the glossary ID "becd022aa"

curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer dKbFvKy34rw8AkDSnOshMZhrtExmmHAYslReUgjF" -H "Version:1.0" -H "Content-Type:application/json"-H "X-IBM-BWL-Account-Id:IBM" -X PUT --data "[{\"id\":\"becd022aa\",\"description\":\"This is the updated description\"}]" "https://ibm.blueworkslive.com/bwl/glossary-values/My%20Risk"
