Example

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

Code Block

theme	Eclipse
title	SCM Instance PATCH JSON

{
   "instanceId": 11101,
   "instanceName": "ScmName2",
   "properties":    [
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_URL",
         "propertyValue": "urlPUT"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_USER",
         "propertyValue": "userPUT"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_PASSWORD",
         "propertyValue": "passwordPUT"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_TIMEOUT",
         "propertyValue": "10001"
      }
   ],
   "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

theme	Eclipse
title	SCM Instance Patch Receive JSON

{
   "instanceId": 11101,
   "instanceName": null,
   "properties":    [
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_URL",
         "propertyValue": "urlPatch"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_PASSWORD",
         "propertyValue": "passwordPatch"
      },
   ],
   "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

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

         "propertyValue": "urlPatch"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_USER",
         "propertyValue": "userPUT"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_PASSWORD",
         "propertyValue": "passwordPatch"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_TIMEOUT",
         "propertyValue": "10001"
      }
   ],
