In the Windows GUI, a user can switch between menus by right-clicking in the left-hand sidebar and selecting a different menu.

In Indicium, according to the Thinkwise docs, there is a single endpoint to get the metadata (or OpenAPI spec) for an entire application.
In our case however, the metadata is massive (the response body was 700+ MB).

We have defined a separate menu in the SF, containing views, tables and functions we want to expose to a public-facing API.
Would there be a way to only get the metadata or specs for that specific menu? Currently, we are managing model updates and exposed endpoints by hand and are actively looking for a maintainable alternative.

Should anything be unclear, please do let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeroen,

The metadata document is limited by the roles available to the current user. I’m assuming you are using an all-rights role, but when you create and assign (IAM) or simulate (SF) a separate role for the public-facing API, the OpenAPI metadata document should be quite a lot smaller.
