Start a Toggle Update Monitoring Job
To toggle update monitoring on multiple BusinessPartners, the permission can be changed in two ways:


    

  1. A complete Data Source identified by the parameter 'dataSourceId'
    2. 

  2. Or for a certain Country of a Data Source. This requires both parameters 'dataSourceId' and 'countryShortName' to be set
    3. 



After the job is finished, the following actions are taken for Business Partners which match the dataSourceId and countryShortName criteria:


    

  • businessPartner.updateMonitoring fields takes a value of ToggleUpdateMonitoringJobRequest#enable
    • 

  • if enable is true then:

    • 

  • if enable is false then:
      

    • all existing links of a Business Partner to Business Partners in non-commercial reference data sources are removed
      • 

    • updates are no more propagated for this Business Partner
      • 

    • linkage is not performed for any non-commercial reference data source
      •

Upsert Business Partners
Upsert Business Partners in a Business Partner storage in batches. Maximum of 1000 Business Partners are allowed per batch.


If no data source (via field: dataSource) is provided and the storage has only one, then this data source will be used/set. Other options are to provide an
existing data source in the request, which will then be taken for all the Business Partner or to provide a data source for each Business Partner
individually.


In the following cases an API error will be thrown:


    

  1. given data source in the Request or the BusinessPartner is unknown
    2. 

  2. no data source given and more than one data source is attached to the storage
    3. 



To start upserting Business Partners into a storage, use the following request.


PUT https://api.corporate-data-league.ch/data-exchange/rest/v4/storages/{YOUR STORAGE ID}/businesspartners
{
  "dataSource": "{YOUR DATA SOURCE}",
  "featuresOn": ["UPSERT_BY_EXTERNAL_ID"],
  "businessPartners": [
   {
     "externalId": "123",
     "record": "{\"MyId\":\"123\", \"City\":\"St. Gallen\"}",
     "names": [
       {
         "value": "CDQ AG",
         "type": "BUSINESS_PARTNER_NAME_TYPE_LOCAL"
       }
     ],
     "addresses": [{
       "thoroughfare": {
         "value": "Lukasstrasse 4"
       },
       "postCode": {
         "value": "9008"
       },
       "locality": {
         "value": "St. Gallen"
       },
       "country": {

       }
     }]
   }]
}'



The response is shown below.


{
   "numberOfInserts": "1",
   "numberOfUpdates": "0",
}



If there is no name typed LOCAL in businessPartner.names
and exists any name with empty type or not filled type.technicalKey, it becomes name of type LOCAL.


Warn: in order to support multiple data sources, include dataSource into the request, either
in $.dataSource or $.businessPartners[*].dataSource. Otherwise, multiple data sources with no selection
of data source will lead to "No DataSource was provided for the given Business Partners and the storage
has more than one attached to it." exception.
