Hi Community,

I'm trying to Enable the Insight Advisor in app using API. Is it possible? If so please share how.

This is for Enabling manually => Enable Apps for Insight Advisor

I need to Enable using API.

Thanks

Hello @Manoj_Prabu

Yes, this is possible using the Engine API.

Actually, enabling the Insight Advisor chat is just a matter of creating a variable called "crossAppsSearchEnabled" inside the app and setting the value to 1.

So a rough workflow to have it enabled would be:

1. Open app

{ "method": "OpenDoc", "handle": -1, "params": [ "5c7b09cb-4b8e-4c37-af79-48c0fa4a3da8" ], "id": 2 }

2. Create variable

{"delta":true,"handle":1,"method":"CreateVariableEx","params":[{"qInfo":{"qType":"variable"},"qName":"crossAppsSearchEnabled","qDefinition":"1","qComment":"","tags":[]}],"id":36,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

3. Get Variable by name, you will get back the id a handle to use to set the properties in step 4

{"handle": 1,"method": "GetVariableByName","params": ["crossAppsSearchEnabled"]}

Response example (pay attention to "qHandle" and genericObjectId:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 4, "delta": true, "result": { "qReturn": { "qType": "GenericVariable", "qHandle": 2, "qGenericType": "variable", "qGenericId": "08d8cef2-b1e1-418f-acb8-5e111b78feb5" } } }

4. Set variable properties

{ "handle": 2, "method": "SetProperties", "params": [ { "qInfo": { "qId": "08d8cef2-b1e1-418f-acb8-5e111b78feb5", "qType": "variable" }, "qMetaDef": {}, "qName": "crossAppsSearchEnabled", "qComment": "", "qNumberPresentation": { "qType": "U", "qnDec": 10, "qUseThou": 0, "qFmt": "", "qDec": "", "qThou": "" }, "qIncludeInBookmark": false, "qDefinition": "1", "tags": [] } ], "id": 6, "jsonrpc": "2.0" }

5. Reload the app

{ "handle": 1, "method": "DoReloadEx", "params": { "qParams": { "qMode": 0, "qPartial": false, "qDebug": false, "qReloadId": "" } } }

6. Save the app

{ "handle": 1, "method": "DoSave", "params": { "qFileName": "" } }

Done.

Here is some documentation on how to use the Engine API, this is a JSON-RPC websocket API
