Restricted Content Using REST API

Learn how to manage restricted content for migration jobs using the DryvIQ REST API.


Overview

When creating a job through the REST API, you can use the restricted_content setting to determine how DryvIQ handles restricted content. You have the following four options.  

Options Behaviors
convert Zip restricted content so that it can be transferred successfully. This is the default setting. This is the same as the Zip unsupported file types setting in the user interface.
fail Log an error if restricted content is encountered.
warn Log a warning if restricted content is encountered.
skip Ignore if restricted content is encountered.

Example

      "audit_level": "trace",
      "transfer_type": "copy",

Platform Restricted Content

To determine what is restricted content for your given platform or connection, use the following calls.

To list general supported features for a given platform, make the following call. No connection is required. It returns information for platforms based on your license.

GET {{url}}v1/connections/platforms?fields=all&active=1

This call returns a list of platform features for a specific ID. You will need the platform ID for this call.

GET {{url}}v1/connections/platforms/{{platform_id}}?fields=all

This call returns a list of connection features. Ensure you have an established connection before making the call.

GET {{url}}v1/connections/{{cloud_connection}}?include=features
