GET /api/system/processes/<:process-id>
This endpoint will return details on the requested process.

GET /api/system/processes/<:process-id>/output
This endpoint will return the console output of the script. To keep the scope of this work limited, it will print the full console output without datestamps. In a future version, a solution supporting a live-feed can also be included.
GET /api/system/processes/<:process-id>/files
This endpoint will return a list of files that are associated with the process, this can be files uploaded by the end user for imports or files generated by the script like for exports of data.

GET /api/system/processes/<:process-id>/filetypes
Individual processes can have files of different "types". The types can be anything. It refers to what the file represents: e.g. mappingFile, exportCSV, etc.
This endpoint will return all the different file types for the given process. The /api/system/processes/<:process-id>/files/<:type>
endpoint can be used to find the file of that type.

}
GET /api/system/processes/<:process-id>/files/<:type>
Returns a single file of the specified process with the provided type (the type matches on the dspace.process.filetype metadata field of the bitstream)
GET /api/system/processes/search/byProperty
This supports a basic search of the processes
The supported parameters are:
- page, size see pagination
- sort, options are startTime, endTime
- userId: optional, the uuid of the eperson who started the process. If not specified, all processes will be returned
- scriptName: optional, limit the returned processes to the specified script
- processStatus: optional, limit the returned processes to the specified status. The possible
status
values areRUNNING
,COMPLETED
andFAILED
Return codes:
- 200 OK - if the operation succeed
- 401 Unauthorized - if you are not authenticated
- 403 Forbidden - if you are not logged in with sufficient permissions. Only system administrators can access the processes
DELETE /api/system/processes/<:process-id>
The will delete the process and associated files and output. Only processes with states of SCHEDULED
, COMPLETED
and FAILED
can be deleted.
Support for stopping a process can be included in a future version.
Status codes:
- 201 Created - if the operation succeed
- 404 Not found - if the processes doesn't exist
- 422 Unprocessable Entity - If the process is running
