Scénario

The IT department is adding the ability for users to work on an internal Portal. They submitted a requirement to display open positions within TGB to Portal users. You have been assigned to test the API calls to the HRApps application.

Use the Pega API landing page to query the Data Page D_PositionList to return a list of all open positions.

Note: This exercise does not describe how you build the external application. The goal is to demonstrate the HTTP query needed to access your Pega application and the resulting JSON response.

The following table provides the credentials you need to complete the challenge.

Role	User name	Password
Senior System Architect	SSA@TGB	pega123!

Note: Your practice environment may support the completion of multiple challenges. As a result, the configuration shown in the challenge walkthrough may not match your environment exactly.
