Fetch a Knowledge Object by ID

To fetch a specific knowledge object by its ID, run the following command:

fsoc knowledge get –-type <fully-qualified-typename>  
--layer-type <SOLUTION|ACCOUNT|GLOBALUSER|TENANT|LOCALUSER>
--layer-id <layer-id>
--object-id <object-id>

layer-id is required for requests made to the SOLUTION layer. This attribute is optional for requests made to the LOCALUSER, GLOBALUSER, and TENANT layers. If layer-id is not provided, it will be automatically generated based on the provided layer-type.

Limitation: The ACCOUNT and GLOBALUSER layers are not currently supported.

Prefetch Reference Properties

If the knowledge object that you want to fetch contains reference properties, the default output of the fsoc knowledge get command will display the values of the reference properties as the fully qualified IDs (FQID) of the referenced knowledge objects.

To prefetch the actual content of the referenced knowledge objects, use one or both of the following flags.

--prefetch-refs

If this flag is added:

In the output, the reference property value will be the FQID of the referenced knowledge object.
In the output, a new references section will be added. The key will be the FQID of the referenced knowledge object, and the value will be the content of the referenced knowledge object.

Accepted values:

To prefetch all reference properties in the knowledge object, set the value to *.
To prefetch only a specific reference property, set the value to the JSON pointer of the reference property. To prefetch multiple properties, add a new --prefetch-refs flag for each property.

Sample command:

fsoc knowledge get --type <fully-qualified-typename>
--layer-type <layer-type>
--layer-id <layer-id>
--object-id <object-id>
--prefetch-refs "<json-pointer-to-reference-property1>"
--prefetch-refs "<json-pointer-to-reference-property2>"

Sample output:

In this example, the reference properties are solutionInfo and tenantInfo.

--prefetch-refs-inline

After you add the --prefetch-refs flag, you can also add the --prefetch-refs-inline flag to fetch the referenced knowledge object in line. In the output, the value of the reference property will be the content of the referenced knowledge object.

Sample command:


fsoc knowledge get --type <fully-qualified-typename>
--layer-type <layer-type>
--layer-id <layer-id>
--object-id <object-id>
--prefetch-refs "<json-pointer-to-reference-property1>"
--prefetch-refs "<json-pointer-to-reference-property2>"
--prefetch-refs-inline

Sample output:

In this example, the reference properties are solutionInfo and tenantInfo.
