Enterprise Tester 6.7.1
Resource: External Sources Metadata ( /api/externalsourcesmetadata )
Allows the retrieval of an external sources metadata. Metadata provides identifying information and additional field metadata which can be used when creating a new link by POSTing to the /api/externalsystemlink resource.
The metadata for external sources have an associated end - the 'Source' end is for entities within Enterprise Tester (e.g. requirement, test script and incident).
The 'Destination' end is for entities in external systems (e.g. Issues in Jira, test cases in Enterprise Architect, User stories in rally etc.).
To create a suitable link between a 'Source' and 'Destination' end, the 'Destination' end must be compatible with the 'Source' end - the metadata returned from these resources allows you to identify compatible source and destination ends via the property 'CompatibleWithSourceKeys'.
Root Relation: ExternalSourcesMetadata
This resource supports the following methods: GET
Methods
GET
Retrieves all (or a subset) of external sources.
This method supports the OData parameters $filter, $top, $take, $orderby and $inlinecount. See OData Topic for more details.
Supported Expansions

- InitialFieldValues
For more details on expansions, please see the Expand help topic.
