Limitations

When working with the Data API and scripted connectors, there are limitations:

• Scripted connectors:

  • Operate at a fixed frequency of one minute.

  • Lack support for arguments.

  • Are stored locally on the server.

  • Lack synchronization in a DMS cluster.

  • Are unable to manage data sources.

• Data API:

  • Rejects requests with payloads exceeding 1 MB.

  • Rejects requests from external systems.

  • Requires a field "Id" in JSON arrays, serving as the primary key in the element's table.

  • Supports a nested table structure with multiple child tables pointing to a single parent table, does not currently support a child table with foreign key relations to multiple parent tables.

• Parameters in auto-generated connectors:

  • Only prior to DataAPI 1.1.3, lack units, with no adjustable configuration.

  • Are automatically assigned to pages in the element layout, and this allocation cannot be modified.

  • Cannot use any of the names in the Reserved parameter names list.

Note

Certain limitations are expected to be addressed in future DataMiner versions.
