Re: Local Backup

Insetad of 7-zip, I used PowerShell System.IO.Compression.FileSystem to perform the zipping.
Alternatively you can use Powershell Compress-Archive cmdlet. All thee are available on Windows Server as long as PowerShell is not disabled.
No installation of 3rd party software.

Re: Authenticating to REST API on Postman

Based on what you have tested, there is nothing wrong with the Rest API with your cloud subscription. I believe you have two issues 1. wrong instance name 2. Authentication issue due to setup If you are not the assigend PA Administrator/Modeler, suggest you get the correct instanace name from them. ...

Re: Authenticating to REST API on Postman

My understanding is Rest API on PA Cloud is enabled by default. However, to make it work with authentication you have to request for a non-interactive ID to be created which uses the namespace of LDAP. Only then you can use Rest API with authentication. The screen you are seeing using "https://...

It will be a very straight forward unless the dates you are storing is serial number date format which you may need some date formatting function in combination of SUBST etc. If insist of using rule, I will ju...
