How to read linked entities in ALM 12.53 - alm

I am integrating ServiceNow and ALM with REST APIs.
I am able to read defect data through API from ALM. But I need to read test ids as well which is present in linked entities. I am not familiar with ALM before.
I checked this resource, https://admhelp.microfocus.com/alm/en/12.53/api_refs/REST/webframe.htm#Overview.htm but did not get anything regarding linked entities.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks,
Ali

I'm not 100% sure what you need, but here is a link for REST technical preview which contains some info on getting related entities with REST API.

How do we access board columns/sections through the API?

I've tried to find the answer but no luck. The Asana Developers blog has a post from Feb 2017 states the availability of the Boards API. See here:
https://asana.com/developers/feed/boards-api
But there are almost no details of how to use it. Can you please tell me how we can access board columns and whether or not a project is a Boards view project? Why is this so hidden?
Boards and list projects are very similar in the API. You access board columns using the sections endpoint: GET /projects/project-id/sections
You can determine if a project is a board or a list by querying the project: GET /projects/project-id. The JSON response will have a "layout" key with either a "board" or "list" value.
We are working on releasing more board specific documentation. We hope to have this clearly documented soon. In the meantime, you can use the sections docs for columns and projects docs for boards.

Custom workflow based on templates with multi-user e-sign

After initial browsing in Google, I couldn't work out the scope of DocuSign API.
I would like to know if it's feasible to implement these features
Multiple templates with custom form fields
Assign workflow to templates - multi-user e-signing by stages?
automate e-signing internally
User management/privileges - to create new document, recall/cancel, etc
Manage List of recipients - type association
Reporting such as; number of documents signed in the last month,
Please briefly explain what is DocuSign capable of and what needs to be developed differently
Thanks in advance
The general answer to your question is "yes." The DocuSign website, Developer Center, and Signature API reference documentation can help you understand the DocuSign Signature product and APIs.
If you have additional questions, you can talk with DocuSign staff, or try it for yourself. The Developer center enables you to create a free developer sandbox.
For API issues, you can also ask questions here on StackOverflow. Note that your questions should be much more specific than the questions you listed above. You also should show what you have already tried and what is not working for you.

Searching with Office 365 Unified API

I am having trouble using the new Office 365 Unified API for searching for email. I would really appreciate it if I could get some help.
I get the following error:
{"error":{"code":"ErrorInvalidArgument","message":"The value specified for search scope 'PrimaryMailbox' is invalid."}}
I was able to get the access token for graph.microsoft.com and retrieve all the messages from my inbox by doing a GET to "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/messages".
However, when I add the search parameter $search="Tomcat", I get the error copied above. Any ideas how I can resolve this? Is there any documentation to clarify this? I have searched the Office Dev Center documentation in detail but could not find anything to help with searching in the Unified API. Eventually, I want to use the Unified API to search for users' contacts, calendar entries, OneDrive files, and SharePoint online.
On a related note, I can successfully search for mail messages using the existing Office 365 API by making a GET call to "https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/messages". However, I am more interested in the streamlined Unified API approach and hope I can resolve the above issue.
Also, is there a way to search all mailboxes in a single search using either the existing API (https://outlook.office365.com) or the new Unified API (https://graph.microsoft.com/)?
Thanks.

The Unified API preview documentation lists all supported query parameters, and $search isn't included. It does support $filter, so you can do some basic searches using that.
The Mail API does support $search, but there is no way to search across multiple mailboxes in one query.
You can use the below conditions for searching in outlook
to search in particular folder(Ex: Drafts,Inbox)--/me/MailFolders/Inbox/messages?$search={1} : where 1 will be your search text
If you want to search in all folders then /me/MailFolders/Allitems/messages?$search={1}: where {1} is the text you want to search

Sharing unsharing files/folders etc via REST API for Sharepoint

Is there any way we could share/unshare a file or folder with users (external or internal) through REST API?
I am unable to find proper documentation for this. The only information out there is for update, delete, create, download, upload, and read operations!
I have come across some posts which indicate that it's possible to update the fields for a listitem. I was wondering if I could achieve sharing/unsharing through that?
If not sharing then at least unsharing(remove sharing details which ultimately unshares the item). Can unsharing be achieved through this?
I asked a colleague who is more familiar with the Files API than I am, and he said no file sharing properties are exposed via the Files API for Office 365 - so it looks like it's not possible at this point with that API. You could file a request to add that functionality via User Voice feedback page.

Integrating Sharepoint with Quality Center

I am an intern for a company that wants to try to integrate data from HP Quality Center (graphs, dashboards, data etc) into Sharepoint 2010. The whole idea is that once a test case or something is updated through Quality Center; it should automatically update on sharepoint. Any ideas on how this could be done?
Well quality center does have a database behind it, so you could query that via BCS.
OR, for bonus points since QC doesn't offer any web services, you could expose the data yourself using the COM API that they provide. We have done this in-house to tie into our own reporting system. non-SharePoint sadly.
If you want to show QC reports in share point, then you can define the reports in QC, and use OTA (The COM API) to periodically pull those reports and store them in share point.
To find more information regarding the API, just go to help menu, there you can find documentation for both the COM API and for DB structure.
If you want to update data in share point and not show aggregated results, then you can write a workflow script which will be triggered when data is changed in QC. In that script you can do pretty much any thing you want as long as it's COM. So you can go to share point as well and update data there. For workflow documentation and example go to help menu in QC.
