Resource Server / Resource Pool (.NET / REST)

The Resource Server / Resource Pool APIs provide endpoints to interact with Relativity servers. The type of interaction is based on the type of server. All server types support read and update operations. Some server types also support create and delete operations, console actions, and other operations.

Use cases for these APIs include:

  • Checking the status of Relativity servers
  • Manipulating agents
  • Restarting services on servers
  • Manipulating server credentials

You can download the Relativity.Infrastructure.SDK to use the service through .NET, or you can also use this service through REST.

The Relativity.Infrastructure.SDK contains this API. For compatibility and package installation instructions, see Download the SDKs and NuGet packages.

Resource Server / Resource Pool fundamentals

Overview

The service is accessible by instantiating a proxy using contracts defined in the Relativity.Infrastructure.{versionNumber} namespace.

For general actions on resource servers, use the nuget package and a proxy for a contract. This proxy allows one to retrieve available server types, eligible server status values as well as metadata for a particular server, without specifying the type.

Note: The methods on these APIs operate on the admin level context. Ensure that users have appropriate permissions.

REST guidelines

The URLs for REST endpoints contain path parameters that you need to set before making a call:

  • Set the {versionNumber} placeholder to the version of the REST API that you want to use, using the format lowercase v and the version number, for example v1.
  • Set other path parameters in the URLs to the Artifact ID of a given entity, for example setting {workspaceID} to the Artifact ID of a workspace.
    • Note: To indicate the admin-level context, set the {workspaceID} path parameter to -1.
