How to extract all task ID's for a specific user IBM BPM - business-process-management

Question

I am trying to extract the task ID's for a specific user ( using username) in the IBM BPM REST API tester.
I have tried using the following command but it does not return the task ID
rest/bpm/wle/v1/search/query?columns=taskId%2C&condition=userName%7COSHVWYK&organization=byInstance&run=true&shared=false&filterByCurrentUser=false

Answer 1

Your condition is misformatted. On IBM BPM 8.6 go to REST API Tester / Business Process Manager REST APIs / Search API / Run Query [deprecated] and specify Condition as assignedToUser|Equals|user123 (replacing user123 with real user name);
note that list of columns allowed in Condition is available under /rest/bpm/wle/v1/search/meta/constraintColumn. Adding to Columns value of taskId will narrow returned data set, so this is optional.
Result URL looks then this way:
rest/bpm/wle/v1/search/query?condition=assignedToUser%7CEquals%7Cuser123&organization=byInstance&run=true&shared=false&filterByCurrentUser=false
And result set will have structure like following:
{
"status": "200",
"data": {
"data": [{
"assignedToRole": null,
"taskAssignedTo": {
"type": "User",
"who": "user123"
},
"instanceId": 308611,
"instanceStatus": "Terminated",
"taskAttachedExtActivityRef": null,
"taskAttachedInfoPathFormRef": null,
"taskId": 613750,
"taskStatus": "Closed"
}, {
"assignedToRole": null,
"taskAssignedTo": {
"type": "User",
"who": "user123"
},
"instanceId": 308622,
"instanceStatus": "Terminated",
"taskAttachedExtActivityRef": null,
"taskAttachedInfoPathFormRef": null,
"taskId": 613763,
"taskStatus": "Closed"
}, ... ]
}
}
