Need Clarification on Dataset APIs

[gokul]

Hi,

I need to store an attribute value in a dataset and utilize that in the create/update user form. Additionally i need to sync data between the source and the dataset daily using a custom JAR to call Saviynt dataset APIs.

1. For uploading dataset value via CSV import through the API, I used uploadDatasetCSV through Postman. However, instead of replacing the entire value, it appended the CSV data to the existing dataset values. - Is this an expected behavior?
2. If we want to perform dataset fresh import through the API, which one should we use?
3. Are there any available Saviynt dataset APIs to add a single new entry into the existing dataset?
4. If API - CSV upload for dataset fresh import isn't possible, is there any way to upload the CSV file directly in the Saviynt directory using the API? Additionally, if we are directly placing the file in the directory, is there a job available to trigger dataset fresh import?

Any leads/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

2. If we want to perform dataset fresh import through the API, which one should we use? updateDatasetValues https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/23973797/2s9XxwutWR#ca093d30-2d89-406e-9296-82d4f5a76110 
3. Are there any available Saviynt dataset APIs to add a single new entry into the existing dataset?  try using updateDatasetValues --> if not exists it should create new one 
4. If API - CSV upload for dataset fresh import isn't possible, is there any way to upload the CSV file directly in the Saviynt directory using the API? Additionally, if we are directly placing the file in the directory, is there a job available to trigger dataset fresh import? - This is not supported

@rushikeshvartak - Thanks for your response.

I have verified this. With the updateDatasetValues, we can only update existing dataset values. However, if we attempt to add a new record that does not exist, this API does not take any action.
