Overview
This node integrates with the TANSS API to manage PC or server records. It supports operations such as fetching a PC by its ID, updating existing PC details, creating new PC entries, and deleting PCs. This node is useful in IT asset management workflows where automated synchronization or management of PC inventory data is required.
Practical examples:
- Automatically delete a PC record from TANSS when it is decommissioned.
- Update PC details like location or assigned employee after an audit.
- Fetch PC information for reporting or integration with other systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| API Token | The API token used to authenticate requests to the TANSS API. |
| PC ID | The unique identifier of the PC or server to fetch, update, or delete. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the TANSS API for the requested operation. For example:
- For "Delete PC", the output JSON typically contains confirmation of deletion or status message.
- For "Get PC by ID", the output JSON includes detailed PC information.
- For "Update PC" and "Create PC", the output JSON returns the updated or newly created PC object.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the TANSS API endpoint.
- Needs an API token credential for authentication.
- The base URL for the TANSS API is obtained from the node credentials configuration.
- Network connectivity to the TANSS API service.
Troubleshooting
- No credentials returned!: Ensure that the API token credential is properly configured and available.
- No data provided for updating/creating the PC.: When performing update or create operations, make sure to provide at least one field in the PC Data property.
- Failed to execute [operation]: [error message]: Indicates an error occurred during the HTTP request. Check the API token validity, network connection, and that the PC ID exists (for get/update/delete).
- The operation "[operation]" is not recognized.: This error occurs if an unsupported operation value is set; verify the operation selection.
