title	API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/test?

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

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

instancecode={code}

instancename={name}

testingtool={tool}

Examples:

To search by code only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/test?instancecode={code}

To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/test?instancename={name}

To search by tool and name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/test?testingtool={tool}&instancename={name}

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

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	Test Instance was found and patched
400	Bad request
401	Unauthorized
404	Test Instance not found
500	Unexpected internal server error

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	Test Instance PATCH JSON

{
     "isActive": true,
     "properties": [
          {
          "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_HOME_DIR",
          "propertyValue": "Home Directory Put 1"
          },
          {
          "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_PROPERTIES_FILE",
          "propertyValue": "Properties File Put 1"
          }
     ],
     "description": "This is J Meter Put 1",
     "environments": [],
     "testingToolId": 10001,
     "instanceId": 21807,
     "instanceCode": "JMETERPUT1",
     "instanceName": "J Meter Put 1"
}

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/test/11101

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

Code Block

theme	Eclipse
title	Test Instance Patch Receive JSON

{
     "isActive": null,
     "properties": [
          {
          "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_HOME_DIR",
          "propertyValue": "Home Directory Patch 1"
          },
     ],
     "description": "This is J Meter Patch 1",
     "environments": null,
     "testingToolId": 10001,
     "instanceId": 21807,
     "instanceCode": "JMETERPATCH1",
     "instanceName": null
}

The PUT request would then update the test instance with Id 11101 and return the following JSON test instance object

Code Block

theme	Eclipse
title	Test Instance PATCH Return JSON

{
     "isActive": true,
     "properties": [
          {
          "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_HOME_DIR",
          "propertyValue": "Home Directory Patch 1"
          },
          {
          "propertyName": "FDJM_JMETER_PROPERTIES_FILE",
          "propertyValue": "Properties File Put 1"
          }
     ],
     "description": "This is J Meter Patch 1",
     "environments": [],
     "testingToolId": 10001,
     "instanceId": 21807,
     "instanceCode": "JMETERPATCH1",
     "instanceName": "J Meter Put 1"
}
