Saving connection file changes from python API and generating report from API

[sprice-HE]

I am using version 24.1.0.3009. I've gotten most of the python API functions to work. However, when I 'download' the connection file and close it via the API and open it in the GUI nothing has changed. None of the load effects added via the API are present. I thought maybe I could just run the calculation with the changes and generate a report, but report generation does not seem to work either. I tried both pdf and word. When the GUI opens I can see that the LoadEffects were added by the python api calls and the calculation seems to have happened, but then it exits the GUI without saving or generating a report and gives the following errors:

Exception when calling API: (406)
Reason: Not Acceptable
HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'Content-Length': '0', 'Date': 'Wed, 05 Feb 2025 19:04:08 GMT', 'Server': 'Kestrel'})

This is the output from the ConnectionRestApi.exe:

info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Diagnostics[1] Request starting HTTP/1.1 GET http://localhost:5000/api/1/projects/a57fed52-4bd8-4a56-a5fe-055eedbeab26/reports/2/word - - info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Routing.EndpointMiddleware[0] Executing endpoint 'IdeaStatiCa.ConnectionRestApi.Controllers.ReportController.GenerateReport (IdeaStatiCa.ConnectionRestApi)' info: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Infrastructure.ControllerActionInvoker[3] Route matched with {action = "GenerateReport", controller = "Report"}.

Has anyone encountered an issue saving the connection file via the API?

Hi @sprice-HE ,
I would suggest to first update to the latest version 24.1.3.2515 from Download
Please let me know if your script still has issues after updating.
Thank you.

Hi, I just tried to generate the PDF with the same output as sprice-HE.

Error message:

Operation failed : (406)
Reason: Not Acceptable
HTTP response headers: HTTPHeaderDict({'Content-Length': '0', 'Date': 'Wed, 02 Apr 2025 21:33:09 GMT', 'Server': 'Kestrel'}) 

My code:

            reportPdf = api_client.report.generate_pdf(project_data.project_id,1)

            with open(str(CON.name)+'.pdf', 'wb') as file:
               file.write(reportPdf)
            
            print(str(CON.name)+'...Report Finished') 

IDEA Statica opens the file with connections and even the results, however, it doesn't try to generate the report. Another attempt to generate a Word report wasn't much better.
