OSS Postman script

Postman is a REST client that can be used to easily integrate with the WMC OSS API.

Kerlink provides a sample Postman configuration dump that can be imported. It contains:

• One environment: defines a WMC instance, username and password.
• One authentication collection: contains the login webservice, retrieves and stores the authentication token in an environment variable.
• One large WMC collection: contains all the web services.

1. Download the configuration dump.
2. Install Postman, if not already installed.
3. Import the downloaded configuration dump.
4. Edit the environment to match your needs (credentials and WMC instance URL).
5. Execute the authentication request: this will save the authentication token in the environment (open the environment again to check).
6. Edit the collection variables, and set your customerId (for example).
7. Execute a request that uses the customerId variable, for example getCustomerFleets.

Here are the screenshots of the steps mentioned above.
