Need to update Configuration Element using API

[virtualhobbit]

Hi,

I have a need for a scheduled task/cron job on the vRO server to reach out to an external system using cURL, retrieve a value and write it to a configuration element.

I know you can update resource elements in this manner. Does anyone know if it can be done for configuration elements?

Many thanks,

Hi,

I guess you can use ConfigurationElement#setAttributeWithKey scripting method to modify configuration elements.

But that would be from within the code.

I actually mean on the vRO server "inside the OS".

Check here for the API doc for 7.6

You'll need to handle Auth but what you want should be possible

Why don't you just have the cron job kick off the workflow which reaches out with the REST plug-in and updates the config element internally?
