Manage DMS objects in yuuvis® Momentum or retrieve structural information for the tenant that are relevant for all its users.

In the default configuration, any logged-in user has access to the endpoints. However, the creation, retrieval, update and deletion of DMS objects require corresponding roles.

As of version 2022 Autumn, some processes that lead to an update of the index of the search engine can be called with the query parameter waitForSearchConsistency.

Parameter 'waitForSearchConsistency' for Endpoints with Effect on the Search Index

As of version 2022 Autumn, some processes that lead to an update of the index of the search engine can be called with the query parameter waitForSearchConsistency.

Value of 'waitForSearchConcistency'	Processing	Description	Advantage	Disadvantage
`true`	synchronous	The success response of the corresponding endpoint is returned after the successful update of the search index.	The changes are available even for search requests that are sent immediately after the synchronous processing.	The waiting time before the response is rather long.
`false`	asynchronous	The success response of the corresponding endpoint does not wait for the update of the search index.	The waiting time for the response is far shorter.	Search requests sent immediately after the change request may be processed before the search index is updated.

The update and import endpoints listed below accept an optional query parameter waitForSearchConsistency.

Endpoints	Default for `waitForSearchConsistency`
Import: POST /api/dms/objects	`false`
Metadata update: POST /api/dms/objects/{objectId} PATCH /api/dms/objects/{objectId} PATCH /api/dms/objects	`true`
Content update: POST /api/dms/objects/{objectId}/contents/file	`true`
Restore: POST /api/dms/objects/{objectId}/versions/{versionNr}/actions/restore	`true`
Deletion: DELETE /api/dms/objects/{objectId} (as of 2023 Summer) DELETE /api/dms/objects (as of 2023 Summer)	`true`
Tagging: POST /api/dms/objects/{objectId}/tags/{name}/state/{state} POST /api/dms/objects/tags/{name}/state/{state}?query=<SQL> DELETE /api/dms/objects/{objectId}/tags/{name}	`true`
Text rendition: POST /api/dms/objects/{objectId}/contents/renditions/text	`true`
