GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a SCM instance with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the SCM instance. The other will find a list of SCM instances matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET (Using Id)

This GET service will find a SCM instance with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

instanceName={name}

instanceCode={code}

scmType={type}

Examples:

To search by code only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/scminstance?instanceCode={code}

To search by name only:

To search by type and name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/scminstance?scmType={type}&instanceName={name}

Tip
The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by instanceName=NAME is the same as searching by instanceName=name.

If we had an test instance in our database with an Id of 11101 and had the following attributes

Code Block

{
   "instanceId": 11101,
   "instanceName": "ScmName2",

      }
   ],
   "scmType": "GIT",
   "description": "descriptionPUT",
   "instanceCode": "CODE2",
   "isActive": true
}

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/scminstance/11101

And the PATCH request receives the following JSON SCM instance object,

Code Block

{
   "instanceName": null,
   "properties":    [
            {

      },
   ],
   "scmType": "GIT",
   "description": null,
   "instanceCode": "CODE3",
   "isActive": true
}

The PATCH request would then update the SCM instance with Id 11101 and return the following JSON SCM instance object
