API sharepoint restore restoretoOriginallocation

[b.vanhaastrecht]

Hello,

We are trying to restore items, folders, lists, libraries and documents to their original location. However when executing those requests we get the following message returned:

Code: Select all

{"result":"error","message":"Unknown action name: restoretoOriginallocation."}

While the documentation states all those types should have the restoretoOriginallocation action available. Is this a documentation error of API fault?

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=40

(No ticket, as we have a multitude of API bug tickets open, and it's taken so much time for support to troubleshoot ).

Kind regards,
Bastiaan van Haastrecht

You can restore to the original location with restoreTo.

restoretoOriginallocation is only applicable with MFA enabled organizations so it depends on how you authenticate against it (which is unclear from your initial post).

Also, on the helpcenter, we have a button "Send feedback" which will allow you to drop an e-mail and if something is wrong, we will correct it and you'll get an update via mail (sometimes beats support).

Sorry, for got to mention that. We are using modern authentication. So body looks like:

Code: Select all

{
"restoretoOriginallocation":
 {
    "userСode": "XXXXXXXX",
    "list": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
 }
}

So restoretoOriginallocation should be a valid action.

Hi Bastiaan,

This is a candidate for another support ticket, I'm afraid. With a separate case ID, it'll be much easier to track it and escalate to RnD. And, please share the ID here for the followup.

Thanks!

I'm really astonished if anyone is fully utilizing the API. We've stumbled on so many bugs, it's unbelievable. I know there are SP's using the API for self restore functionality, guess they are not fully utilizing all the features.

Will create a ticket...

Bastiaan,

First, my apologies for the all inconvenience you're experiencing with APIs. There're always things to improve, and our RnD team does the best they can to address all issues.

Second, our system doesn't provide any results on the case ID you provided. Could you please check if the number is correct?

Thanks!

Hi Polina,

It's just a bit frustrating when building a new app you stumble from bug to bug. Hope they get things sorted asap.

Dont know how I got that ticket id, but the proper one is: #04420617

Have a great weekend!

This one is correct, thanks )
(and now I know there the first # came from )

Cheers!
