QPR ProcessAnalyzer API

QPR ProcessAnalyzer has two API: REST-based Web API and WCF API. Prefer the Web API, because WCF API is a legacy API that will be removed from the product in future.

Web API

• Login
• Logout
• Run query
• Cancel query
• Get filters
• Get dashboards

• CancelQueryOperation: Cancels running operation using query identifier.
• DeleteModel: Deletes a model.
• DeleteProject: Deletes a project.
• GetAnalysis: Calculates and returns QPR ProcessAnalyzer analysis.
• GetAnalysisImageAsByteArray: Get Flowchart Analysis as image.
• GetModel: Can be used to query QPR ProcessAnalyzer model data.
• GetModels: Can be used to query QPR ProcessAnalyzer model related information.
• GetModelAsStream: Exports a model or a filtered data as a .pacm file.
• GetStream can be used to query contents of a stream bound to the given session identified by given stream id.
• GetUsers: can be used to get user related information.
• ImportModelFromStream: Import data to QPR ProcessAnalyzer.
• LogOff: Logs off the user session.
• QueryObjectProperties returns all the listed properties queried for all the listed objects identified by unique identifiers.
• ResetModelCache: Can be used to clear all cached model information of the given model.
• RunScript can be used to execute given PA script using given parameters.
• SetModel: Can be used to set model related information.
• SetUser: Can be used to set user information.
• ValidateModel can be used to perform all the pending tasks stored in the work queue of the given model.
