Server Platform Origin Service¶

The server platform origin service is a simple REST API that returns basic information about an Open Metadata and governance (OMAG) Server Platform.

It is often used by operational scripts controlling the start-up and shutdown of OMAG Server Platforms to determine if the server platform is running.

There is a single operation on this service called server-platform/origin.

The format of the operation is:

{serverPlatformURLroot}/open-metadata/platform-services/users/{userId}/server-platform/origin

where {serverPlatformURLroot} is typically the host name and port number for the server platform's network endpoint and {userId} is the userId of an authorized administrator.

The response is a single string describing the implementation and version of the server platform.

For example, this is the response from the OMAG Server Platform that has an endpoint of https://localhost:7443. Gary Geeke (garygeeke) is the administrator.

$ curl --insecure -X GET https://localhost:7443/open-metadata/platform-services/users/garygeeke/server-platform/origin
