Imports an API from the FlexDeploy Artifact Repository into Oracle API Platform.

This operation will look for a single file called flexApi.json in the Artifact Repository to use. If no flexApi.json file is found then it will fallback to any file with a .json extension.  If an API with the same name and version already exist on the server then that API will be updated otherwise the API will be created.  The API Id and API Iteration will be returned as outputs at the end of execution.

@since 5.3.0.4 Will query target environment for reference ids and replace them before importing.

  • Always - Always attempt to replace references found in the .references file. If no .references file exists in the artifact repository then an exception will be thrown
  • WhenFound - References will only be imported when the .references file is found. This is the default behavior
  • Never - Never replace references even if the file is found.

See ExportAPI Special Considerations for more information on replacing references.

...

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.

Special Considerations

As mentioned in the description, this operation requires a file named 'flexApi.json' to be in the artifacts directory.  It does not require that the flexApi.json file was created as a result of the ExportAPI operation.  If you want source control your APIs and build directly from source control you can still use this operation.
