B2B Integration

Hi all, 

Is it possible to create a user from the command line instead of using the b2bi UI and clicking through the prompts / pages?  I was doing some searching and haven't really found any commands to do so.  I'm new to b2bi so if it's possible to do it's a very high possibility that I looked past it.

For clarification I'm talking about creating a new user from Sterling B2B Integrator UI --> Accounts --> User Accounts --> "Create a new Account / Go" screen.

Thanks in advance!

Nick

Hi Nick,

You can do it via REST: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/b2b-integrator/6.1.2?topic=cbra-b2b-rest-apis-available-in-sterling-b2b-integrator

So you could call curl from the command line to send the REST requests.

Regards,

Richard.

Richard,

Awesome!  I knew there was a way but still learning my way around the product.  Thanks for the response.

Hi Nick,

please find here an example on how to create a user with some groups and permissions. please change values underlined and remove unnecessarygroups/permissions.

I was able to create users with the above curl commands successfully, thank you so much!

To piggyback off my original question, is it possible to do everything in the GUI via rest api or are there things that still require manually doing via the UI?

For example, to do an import / export from Resource Manager, I didn't see anything in the REST interface for that...is that possible to do via any scripts in the ../bin dir?

Thanks again!

Not quite everything is available as a REST API yet. Each new release has tended to add more and any new UI elements tend to automatically come with equivalent REST APIs. You've also got the older XAPIs which some customers have used to automate config tasks.

You can automate import/export e.g. using the import and export services (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/b2b-integrator/6.1.2?topic=l-import-service) in a BP, and then using the workflowlauncher to run the BP from the command line.

Hopefully someone watching this forum might have some examples they can share.

Best regards,
Richard.

I was able to create users with the above curl commands successfully, thank you so much!

To piggyback off my original question, is it possible to do everything in the GUI via rest api or are there things that still require manually doing via the UI?

For example, to do an import / export from Resource Manager, I didn't see anything in the REST interface for that...is that possible to do via any scripts in the ../bin dir?

Thanks again!

Hi Nick,

please find here an example on how to create a user with some groups and permissions. please change values underlined and remove unnecessarygroups/permissions.

Richard,

Awesome!  I knew there was a way but still learning my way around the product.  Thanks for the response.

Nick

Hi Nick,

You can do it via REST: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/b2b-integrator/6.1.2?topic=cbra-b2b-rest-apis-available-in-sterling-b2b-integrator

So you could call curl from the command line to send the REST requests.

Regards,

Richard.

Hi all, 

Is it possible to create a user from the command line instead of using the b2bi UI and clicking through the prompts / pages?  I was doing some searching and haven't really found any commands to do so.  I'm new to b2bi so if it's possible to do it's a very high possibility that I looked past it.

For clarification I'm talking about creating a new user from Sterling B2B Integrator UI --> Accounts --> User Accounts --> "Create a new Account / Go" screen.

Thanks in advance!

Nick
