Hi,

Can anyone suggest the best way to access from an external UI Mashup the task related information such as the current user, current performer, Task OID and Task Name.

I do not appear to find an easy REST API access to this information.

Thanks.

Hi Melissa,

You can access the required information using interactionUri. Interaction URI is generated for each activity and is appended as a request parameter to the URL for external application. So let's say that your external mashup URL is: http://localhost:8080/myApp/index.html and Stardust is hosted at: http://localhost:8090/stardust/
While requesting/loading the page in the UI Mashup IFrame, Stardust will create a request like this:
http://localhost:8080/myApp/index.html?ippInteractionUri=http://localhost:8090/stardust/services/rest/engine/interactions/NTE0MnwxNDE2ODE0NTU3Njkw&ippPortalBaseUri=http://localhost:8090/stardust&ippServicesBaseUri=http://localhost:8090/stardust/services/

You can get the required information using following URLs:
http://localhost:8090/stardust/services/rest/engine/interactions/NTE0MnwxNDE2ODE0NTU3Njkw/definition
http://localhost:8090/stardust/services/rest/engine/interactions/NTE0MnwxNDE2ODE0NTU3Njkw/inData
http://localhost:8090/stardust/services/rest/engine/interactions/NTE0MnwxNDE2ODE0NTU3Njkw/owner

For getting the Task / Activity OID you can use Javascript api:
For e.g if my activity OID is 5142
Retrieve the last path param in the URI . i.e. : 'NTE0MnwxNDE2ODE0NTU3Njkw' ( this is base 64 encoded information in this form: activityOid|lastModificationTime)
var encodedInfo = 'NTE0MnwxNDE2ODE0NTU3Njkw';
var activityOIdAndLastModificationTime = window.atob(encodedInfo);

Output is: "5142|1416814557690"
