Developer mode with Chrome Browser

In the Editor window, an extra library is loaded containing some useful JS function to effectively work with multiple entities and multiple clusters (connections). Basically you use the editor to:

  1. GET the records you need to work on or for which you need the data from the UI. Then you use the JS console to work with the data and create
  2. update/delete records on same, other or multiple controllers.

But hey, you could also do all the work in pure JavaScript.

Available on editor UI window

Based on 7.2.0 (unchanged since 5.3.3) answer_rw_console.js

name type details returns
dataRecords Array Contains the records of the last GET request from the editor window.  
editor.getSession().getValue() returns str Returns the content if the editor window str
postEntity( conID, entity, data) conID: str or int, entity: str: sdp object name (ex: entitlements), data obj:JSON Post (usually create) an entity type for connection conID with data. async:promise promise
putEntity( conID, entity, data) conID: str or int, entity: str: sdp object name (ex: entitlements), data obj:JSON Put (usually update) an entity type for connection conID with data. async promise
deleteEntity( conID, entity, entityId) conID: str or int, entity: str: sdp object name (ex: entitlements), entityID str Delete an entity for connection conID with identifier conID (usually an UUIDv4 or a DN). async promise
putEntity( conID, entity, data) conID: str or int, entity: str: sdp object name (ex: entitlements), data obj:JSON Put (usually update) an entity type for connection conID with data. async promise
getEntity(conID, entity) conID: str or int, entity: str: sdp object name (ex: entitlements) Gets all entities of name entity. Stores the result in variable consoleDataRecords. async promise
getEntityById(conID, entity, entityID) conID: str or int, entity: str: sdp object name (ex: entitlements), entityID: str: uuid of the entity gets entity by id, sotres it in variable consoleDataRecords.async promise
getAndUpdateEntity(conID, entity, entityID, modFunction) conID: str or int, entity: sdp object (ex: entitlements), modFunction:function(jsonObject):jsonObject Gets and updates an entity. The modFunction should have one argument, for the json object (from the get entity part) and return the modified json object (for the updateEntity part). async promise
entitiesFromEditor(conID, entity, xEntityFunction) conID: str or int, entity: str: sdp object name (ex: entitlements), xEntityFunction: function: postEntity or putEntity Parses the text in the editor to JSON, then do the xEntityFunction on all records in the JSON. Text must represent the sdp entities entity.async promise
findEntities(conID, path, filterAttribute, filterValue, key, filterTransformFunc conID: str or int, path: str, filterAttribute:str, filterValue: str, key: str, filterTransformFunc: function Find entities on exact match: Search with query=filterValue, then for every record found, check if the record.filterAttribute exact matches the filterValue. If a transform function was given, apply the function on the retrieved record’s field before doing the match. Use the record.key value when added to the results as an identifier. Matched records are stored in results[]. promise, containting results[]
downloadAsFile(data, mimeType, filename) data, mimeType, filename: str Download arbitrary data in form of a file.  
` getCSV(data)` data json object Gets as CSV preresentation of data; first level deep, values all stringified. str
dataRecordsGetCSV()   Wrapper for getCSV(dataRsession().getValue()) str
editorGetCSV()   Wrapper for getCSV(editor.get) str

Best practices

var result = await getEntity(1,"entitlements");
for(record of result.data){
    // do somehting with the record
}

Hence it is advised to work in the editor window if you are unsure.
