Atom Feeds

CA SDM supports Atom feeds through the collection GET URI path because Atom feeds represent a list of records. This implementation supports all query parameters that REST Web Services support, such as the WC, start, and size query parameters. This implementation supports two additional query parameters, EntryTitle and EntrySummary, which let you specify a mapping between the Atom entry Title and Summary elements to Majic attributes.

EntryTitle=<Majic attribute name>
EntrySummary=<Majic attribute name>

Note: If you do not specify these parameters, REST uses the COMMON_NAME as the default title and summary values.

The following sample displays these query parameters:

GET /caisd-rest/cnt?size=2&EntryTitle=userid&EntrySummary=notes HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/atom+xml

The following sample displays the Atom response:
