Rest API: Additional output/storage formats for REST API call (e.g. temporary cube)

Christoph Schmitt · 2023-08-24T08:25:19+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

The only output format (right now) for an REST API call is to save it to an CSV file. This CSV file can be used to load an temporary cube.

A direct load (without saving the file to disk) into a cube / temporary cube would be a great enhancement.

I would also like to highlight the request for this feature.

This especially would help with parallel executions as a temporary cube automatically is only valid for each execution.

Currently I have the problem with parallelity as I face a scenario where the procedure with the API call step in it is also called with an API.
This leads to the fact that I can not user "@User" in the filename to distinct the files because this will always result in the username of the API user.

A substitution formula like "@[entityname]" would work for the output filename of the API call step but this is not supported by the required Data Reader in the file path to read the file.
