How to call Control-M API's using Postman?


I have been trying to use the Control-M API documentation provided by BMC, and I am unable successfully invoke an API call to it.

When tried to first provide the login credentials using /login resource to get the apiKey which I could use for further resource calls, I get a variety of Error Responses. i.e. 405 method not allowed while using POST, and 404 Page not found while using GET. At this point I am not sure if there is some problem with Control-M API version(9.20.105), or am I using the correct endpoint (CTRLM URL)?

is is not possible via postman? Note: I am not sure if I am allowed to paste my clients URL here.

I would be really helpful if someone could illustrate a live Control-M API call which is publicly available to test.


Solution

  • If you have an installation of Control-M with automation API you can use its swagger as reference. Given a Control-M installed on a host named myControlM you should be able to browse to: https://myControlM:8443/automation-api
