Page Comparison

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 can be used by the getWorkflowRequestStatus (version 0) call workflow request. Workflow request id from return data can be used 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.

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
environmentId	Y/N	Long	This is the environment Id, not the environment name that you see on most screens. It is required if the build instance is associated to multiple environments. If only one environment is associated to the build instance, it is not required.
streamId	Y/N	Long	The Id of the Stream that you want to build. If only one stream is present, you don't need to specify the stream.
forceBuild	N	Boolean	Values are true or false. Indicates that the build should occur even if there are not SCM changes. Defaults to false.
relatedTickets	N	String	List of Issue Tracking System tickets.
workflowVersionOverride	N	String	Optionally the version of the workflow can be overridden. Defaults to the currently active version.
inputs	N	List<Input>	See Common Parameters below.
flexFields	N	List<FlexField>	See Common Parameters below.	projectFiles	N	List<ProjectFile>
Only for partial deployment project builds. An array of objects with 2 fields each: `path` and `scmRevision`.	packageName	Y/N	String	Only Required for partial deployment project builds.Unique The name of the package to identify a build for partial deployments project. Defaults to the project version if no value is provided. If packageName is provided without projectFiles, files configured in that package will be used. If packageName is provided with projectFiles, then input is used for build and package definition is updated with this projectFiles list. If packageName and projectFiles are not provided for partial deployment project, then All Files build will be performed. . The package must already exist.
releaseId	N	String	Id of the release to which this build is related to. If specified, a new snapshot is going to be created.
