This endpoint is used to create a configuration for a Populate Federation Guids transformation.

Populate Federation Guids transformation creates a new FederationGuid property value on elements that currently have FederationGuid value set to null.

This transformation is useful in iModel Forking scenarios when iModel fork creation in iModels API fails with sourceIsMissingFederationGuids state. After Populate Federation Guids transformation is run on the source iModel subsequent "Fork iModel" operations will succeed.

Note: Creating a configuration does not run the transformation. To run the transformation, please see transformations reference.

Authentication

Requires Authorization header with valid Bearer token for scope itwin-platform.

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.

Authorization

You must have imodels_write assigned for the iModel within related configuration. You can check iModel permissions here.

Rate limits

All iTwin Platform API operations have a rate limit. For more documentation on that visit Rate limits and quotas page.
