Is it possible to provide a restapi call to import TMXs into a TM asynchronously? Right now we do it with the SDK but the call is sync.
We have cases that we need to import hundreds of them at a time and we really need to do this in an async approach.
Thanks.
One thing our organization did was set up a business rule that read from a location via an AIS mount. This allowed us to take advantage of the server side SDK where this type of call already exists. Another option that may be viable for you is that in the later versions of WS, you can publish your own REST endpoints in WS. I am sure Caterina Lazzarini or Ray Hopley could probably point you in the right direction on that. Ray would know if there are some REST endpoints that do what you want.
What I mean is that I wanted a call in the rest-api that returns a WS job, then with pooling I can get the result when the job is complete, like we do it when we import tasks (POST /tasks/import).
Hi, currently there is no means in the REST API to perform TM Imports as you state, and in order to find a place in the WorldServer roadmap, a business case is required to articulate the value of any enhancement. This needs to start with a problem statement and requirements, rather than "solutionising" something that suits the way a single customers works with WorldServer. My first response is: if you have a requirement constantly to import hundreds of TMXes, are you working with WS in an optimal way? Where is all this offline TM content coming from? I'd be happy to discuss your specific needs in a call if you would like to reach out to me, via a Support ticket is probably the easiest means to get in touch.
Thanks

Thank you for the answer Ray,
So basically we have an external engine that provides us some TMX content based on a specific, source and target language. So then we need the content of this TM in order to segment the file perform the translation of those segments.
So imagine the scenario that we have one client that needs 7 documents that needs to be translated from one language to 23 languages. We will have for this request 7*23 = 161 TMs that need to be imported.
Now we have a microservice that performs this in an async matter PER REQUEST (our business request) but the call inside we will have 161 importations of TMs. It takes a long time... And this causes a lot of issues like transaction timeout exceptions.
We can make a single call per importation in our microservices but the problem is that the microservice call is in a distributed transaction and I need to rollback if something goes wrong. Also I dont want to pollute our Command message handlers with thousands of these messages
