This POST service will perform the same action found on the Build Request Form. It will initiate a request to build the project with the given Id. The service will return the workflowRequestId which workflow request. Workflow request id from return data can be used by the getWorkflowRequestStatus call with Workflow Request API to determine when the workflow execution is complete.

This page includes examples for Full and Partial deploy project builds.

Request

  • If trying to build a Partial Deploy project with all of the files in the repository (equivalent to Build - All Files button in the UI), then simply remove the "projectFiles" list, and the REST API will detect that the project is meant for partial deploys automatically and perform the build with all of the files.
