Point Updates

HTTP POST URL Format

The following format is used for HTTP POST requests. HTTP POST is used to set a persistent update to a point.


HTTP POST:  /rest/Spatial/erm/databases/dbsource/persistentUpdates.json?point=x,y,srsName&query_parameters
			

Where dbsource is the name of the database to update the route data. Use the database name specified in the Enterprise Routing Module Routing Database Resource tool.

HTTP DELETE URL Format

The following format is used for HTTP DELETE requests. HTTP DELETE is used to remove a specific persistent update to a point.


HTTP DELETE:  /rest/Spatial/erm/databases/dbsource/persistentUpdates.json?point=x,y,srsName&resetType=query_parameters
			

Where dbsource is the name of the database that contains the persistent update to remove. Use the database name specified in the Enterprise Routing Module Routing Database Resource tool.

Query Parameters

The HTTP POST operation takes the following query parameters.

Parameter Type Required Description
exclude String no Exclude the specified point from all route calculations. The parameter’s existence in the URL specifies whether to exclude, not the parameter value.
velocity Float no This is a speed update where you define the new speed of the point by specifying the new velocity. The default unit is mph(miles per hour) unless you specify the velocityUnit parameter.
velocityUnit Float no

This is a unit of speed for the velocity or velocityAdjustment.The default value is mph(miles per hour). For speed updates, the velocity unit can have one of the following values: kph (kilometers per hour) or mph (miles per hour).

Note: Speed updates are always stored in mph in the routing data. Persistent updates in kph will be converted to mph by rounding to the nearest mph. For example, 4 kph will be rounded to 2 mph.
velocityAdjustment Float no This is a speed update where you define a change in the speed of the point by specifying the change in velocity (unit and value). Speed values can be increased(positive value) or decreases(negative value). The default unit is mph(miles per hour) unless you specify the velocityUnit parameter.
velocityPercentage Integer no This is a speed update where you define an increase in the speed of the point by specifying a percentage to increase(positive value) or decrease(negative value) the speed.

Reset Parameter

The HTTP DELETE operation takes the following query parameter.

Parameter Type Required Description
resetType String no

Reset (undo) a type of update for a point.

speed
Reset the speed update for a specific point.
exclude
Reset the exclude for a specific point.
