How to create a report? There are currently two options:

  1. Directly creating a task that will create the report.
  2. Using the Report API via Groovy script embedded in a bulk action.

Option 1: Creating the task that will create the report

We have chosen audit log report with two parameters filled in (from, to).

create-task-with-report.bat
curl.exe -v --user administrator:5ecr3t -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST "http://localhost:8080/midpoint/ws/rest/tasks" -d @task-with-report.xml
task-with-report.xml
<task xmlns="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3" xmlns:c="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3" xmlns:org="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/org-3">
    <name>Run audit log report</name>
    <extension xmlns:rext="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/report/extension-3" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="c:ExtensionType">
        <rext:reportParam xsi:type="c:ReportParameterType">
            <rext:from xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2018-10-25T00:00:00.000+02:00</rext:from>
            <rext:to xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xsd:dateTime">2018-10-27T00:00:00.000+02:00</rext:to>
        </rext:reportParam>
    </extension>
    <ownerRef oid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002" relation="org:default" type="c:UserType">
        <!-- administrator -->
    </ownerRef>
    <executionStatus>runnable</executionStatus>
    <category>Report</category>
    <handlerUri>http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/report/create/handler-3</handlerUri>
    <objectRef oid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000009" relation="org:default" type="c:ReportType">
        <!-- Audit logs report -->
    </objectRef>
    <recurrence>single</recurrence>
    <binding>tight</binding>
    <threadStopAction>close</threadStopAction>
</task>

The result from the execution of the above command is:

HTTP/1.1 202
Location: http://localhost:8080/midpoint/ws/rest/tasks/cfd4220d-ee94-4430-9943-bc658abc9774
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 00:03:59 GMT
Content-Length: 0

From the Location header we can determine the OID of the created task - i.e. cfd4220d-ee94-4430-9943-bc658abc9774 in this case.

Option 2: Using Report API from bulk action

For completeness, here we show how to invoke a report via REST service. We have again chosen audit log report with two parameters filled in (from, to).

run-report.bat
curl.exe --user administrator:5ecr3t -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X POST "http://localhost:8080/midpoint/ws/rest/rpc/executeScript" -d @run-report.xml

The above bulk action (needs to be run under administrator privileges) creates a task that creates the report. It returns the task, as can be seen from the invocation:

We can learn the OID of the created task (845278af-3225-45da-9834-b2153630b4b8) from the returned XML structure; namely from t:object/apti:output/s:dataOutput/s:item/s:value/@oid.

How to retrieve the report output

We can periodically check for the task completion, e.g. like this

curl.exe --user administrator:5ecr3t -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -X GET "http://localhost:8080/midpoint/ws/rest/tasks/cfd4220d-ee94-4430-9943-bc658abc9774"

Note that we have to supply correct task OID here.

The result is like this:

The <rext:reportOutputOid>5cf5b277-f867-45e3-a9e0-4f8eccdaa55c</rext:reportOutputOid> element tells us about the resulting report output.

We can retrieve it like this:

You can now fetch the file (i.e. C:/midpoint/home/scratch/export/Audit logs report 26-10-2018 02-04-03.html) via OS-specific means. In the future we might add REST method to fetch the file using this mechanism.
