GSoC 2017 - More Metadata Management in AdminUI

I have followed this talk about starting modules using REST which was discussed with @gutkowski

Designing REST endpoint for starting all modules

Hi, I am working on https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/RESTWS-627, as part of migrating Manage Modules section to OWA. Most of functionality (like starting/stopping single module) is pretty straightforward, but problematic question is, how to expose endpoint to start all modules? After quick consulatation with @raff, we see 2 options: Create new resource, modulemanagement to handle this operation. It is a bit out of convention, but Swagger would document it. Modify systemsettings resource…

There, They used modulesaction REST API to perform actions for the modules. I tried with API Docs to get some understanding. I have some breakdowns to move forward,

1. Can you clear me, this is the proper way to perform those start and stop actions for the modules?

2. For the module, UUID will be like uiframework. Is it correct? I can get some response using this as UUID.

3. In the moduleaction, what is the resource parameter? How to perform actions using Moduleaction REST. Can you please give me some tips?
