Overview

Environments can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of environments.

You can find more information about the REST API functions on the Topology REST API page.  


Each function returns a JSON environment object. The environment object has these attributes:

AttributesTypeDescription
descriptionStringThis is a description of the environment
instancesList<Long>This is a list of the Instance Ids associated with the environment
isActiveBooleanThis is a boolean that tracks whether or not the environment is active
environmentCodeStringThis is the unique code of the environment
sortNumberIntegerThis is a number associated with the environment that sets the environments priority in a list of other environments
environmentIdLongThis is the unique Id of the environment
isBuildEnvironmentBooleanThis is a boolean that tracks whether or not the environment is a build environment
environmentNameStringThis is the unique name of the environment

GET (Using Query Parameters)

titlePATCH Example

Example

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

Code Block
themeEclipse
titleEnvironment PATCH JSON
{
   "description": "This is Environment 1",
   "instances": [15101],
   "isActive": true,
   "environmentCode": "ENV1",
   "sortNumber": 1,
   "environmentId": 11101,
   "isBuildEnvironment": false,
   "environmentName": "Env 1"
}

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/environment/11101

And the PATCH request receives the following JSON environment object,

Code Block
themeEclipse
titleEnvironment PATCH Receive JSON
{
   "description": "This is Patch with some null attributes",
   "instances": [15102,15103],
   "isActive": null,
   "environmentCode": null,
   "sortNumber": 7,
   "environmentId": null,
   "isBuildEnvironment": false,
   "environmentName": "Patch with some null"
}


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


Code Block
themeEclipse
titleEnvironment PATCH Return JSON
{
   "description": "This is Patch with some null attributes",
   "instances": [15102,15103],
   "isActive": true,
   "environmentCode": "ENV1",
   "sortNumber": 7,
   "environmentId": 11101,
   "isBuildEnvironment": false,
   "environmentName": "Patch with some null"
}
