URL Tools in Clarity

Flushing the Cache 
http://{Server}/niku/app?action=security.caches
http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:security.caches



A : This undocumented page in the Clarity GUI allows the administrator to clear the application
caches, either selectively or all-at-once. Using this page is an alternative to the trusted
"start and stop" the app services method of picking up configuration changes or forcing the system
to refresh pages from the application server.

Whilst this is "unsupported" by CA, it is generally accepted that this functionality can be used. The
alternative to using the hidden functionality is to "stop and restart" the app service.

The functionality can be accessed by administration users in all current versions of Clarity (7.5.x to 12)

Q : Running XOG from the Clarity Application URL 

http://{Server}/niku/app?action=xog.client

http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:xog.client

NOTE From v13.3 this hidden page has been removed from the GUI (for performance/stability reasons) - see this thread for some detail.

A : This undocumented page provides a simple XOG client. Type (paste) the XOG XML into the

top window, press "Run" and the output will appear in the lower window.

You should NOT build any integration solutions that rely on this screen, the normal XOG functionality

is the only CA-supported way of integrating data to Clarity.

The functionality can be accessed by administration users in all current versions of Clarity (7.5.x to 13.2)

Q : Viewing / releasing locks 

http://{Server}/niku/app?action=security.locks

http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:security.locks

A : This undocumented page provides an overview of all system "locks".

For example "Import Export Lock" is a project that is currently locked (being editted in OWB/MSP),

the other available lock types refelect system functionality.

(This screen is displaying the contents of the PRLOCK table)

But you should NOT really be "clearing locks" using this screen unless explicty directed to by CA-Support

Q : Viewing the LOG Files from the application 

http://{Server}/niku/nu#action:security.logs

A : This page in the Clarity GUI allows an admin user access to the server log files without having to access the CSA

This functionality can be accessed by administration users in only the later versions of Clarity (i.e. starting v13) and only on TOMCAT installations.

Using this "hidden page" should not replace normal access to log files through the CSA or directly on the server itself.

Q : Web Services Interface (WSDL) 

http://{server}/niku/wsdl

A : This page is the starting point of the system documentation for the web-services provided

by your application. CA-provided actions/queries will be found here, along with any custom

NSQL queries you have built. All are available to be call via a web-service from YOUR web-service

enabled client. Of course it is up to YOU / your systems integrator to "code" the client end of this

relationship.

This page is documented is the CA-provided "Integration Guide"

What is NSA in Clarity

When you install, upgrade, configure and monitor Clarity, you will use Clarity Niku System Administration application to perform most of these tasks. If you implement cluster of clarity server, you will run NSA in the master.

You can use NSA to distribute themes, XDM, and other files to the remote servers.

Important

If you have implemented a cluster of clarity servers, the beacon service should always be running on each server in the cluster. If the beacon is not running the server will not be accessible to NSA

Creating New Themes using Clarity NSA

You can create your own theme in  Clarity by using Niku System Administration (NSA)
Please Login NSA in Clarity to create new themes, also you can make active/inactive of your existing themes.
