Accessing other applications from one application

Access other applications from one application

Starting from one IBM Connections applications, discover the URIs of all of the installed applications.

When you install and configure IBM Connections applications, the URI from which each application can be accessed is stored in the LotusConnections-config.xml file. Use this resource to retrieve the URIs defined in the configuration file. If you know the address of one service, you can use this feed to get the addresses of the others. Using this resource is equivalent to clicking an application link in the navigation bar at the top of the IBM Connections user interface to access another application.

Table 1. Atom API request details

Resource	Description
/serviceconfigs	A feed of URIs to all of the IBM Connections applications.

Example

To search for the URIs to all of the installed IBM Connections applications from the Activities server, send the following HTTP request:

> GET /activities/serviceconfigs HTTP/1.1
> Authorization: Basic xx
> Host: enterprise.example.com:9080
> Accept: */*

The HTTP response would look as follows:

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/atom+xml

The following content is returned by the server:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
