Querying data objects

To query data objects, use the Data Lake and Compass endpoints from the Infor Data Fabric suite.

Data Lake API provides a group of methods called Compass.

With Compass you can query and retrieve data that is stored in the data objects from the Data Lake.

To run a query and get the results you can use these methods:

  • Post a Compass job to receive a unique Query ID for the job.
  • Required - Get the status of a job, using the Compass Status method and the Query ID for the job.
  • Get the results of a finished job, using the Compass Results method and the Query ID for the job.

The version 2 APIs are not a replacement for the version 1 APIs. Version 1 returns a full result set in the /result call. In version 2, the result set is retrieved in row sets or pages. There are differences in the API parameters for the /jobs and /result.
