REST API to view download packages

[CaMatt1]

Trying to use the endpoint "POST /flexnet/operations/download-package-rest-service/dps-for-product/count" to find the available software packages, but it appears to require both a "productName" and a "productVersion" as mandatory fields. Unfortunately if I look at the download packages in flexnet operations GUI the word "productName" does not show anywhere, you have "Product Line" and "Download Package Name". I have no idea what to put in these two fields, and I have tried every combination I can think of of what is displayed in the GUI to try to find the same packages through the rest api, but it always comes back with a count of 0. Can you please confirm this endpoint actually works and give an example how to use it?

P.s The rest api is logged in with the same user as the GUI (an admin).

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi @CaMatt1 Are you trying to get the download package from the End user portal side or the Producer side?

The producer side in the GUI. from the api I assume it is the producer side because of the admin user but you may tell me I'm wrong.

Hi @CaMatt1 ,

Are you using FlexNet Operations LLM or FlexNet Operations ALM?

Thanks,

Jim

I believe I am using the ALM because this page says that url is for the ALM

Hi @CaMatt1,

Ok thanks.  You should see Product Name and Version in the UI when viewing a Product.  I have attached a screenshot of a working example below:

Thank you so much for your help, the Product page was the key 🙂
