Retrieving Documents from Archived Spaces and Subspaces in Jive Instances

Overview

The customer wants to view all documents within archived spaces and subspaces in Jive instances. The admin console cannot directly retrieve this data. The solution involves using the Jive REST API to gather space IDs and view document feeds per space. This approach allows for comprehensive document retrieval, including subspaces.

Solution

To view all documents within archived spaces and subspaces in Jive instances, follow these steps:

  1. Gather Space IDs:
    • Navigate to Admin Console → Space → Management → Summary.
    • Select a space and then select Edit to find the Space ID.
  2. Use Jive REST API:
    • Use the endpoint https://<community-base-url>/community/feeds/documents?communityid=<SPACE_ID> to view a document feed for each space.
    • Example: https://<community-base-url>/api/core/v3/places/<PLACE_ID>/contents?filter=type(document)&count=100&startIndex=0.
    • Increase startIndex by 100 until all documents are retrieved.
  3. Considerations:
    • This process must be run on a per-space basis as feeds do not automatically include subspaces.
    • Ensure API access and authentication are set up correctly.

Note: The admin console alone cannot retrieve this data. The Jive REST API provides a method to access archived content, including subspaces.
