REST API

Incompatible Changes

Release and Pipeline Management

...

• Several groovy functions available from the FLEXDEPLOY object throw different exceptions, which could require a change to a try catch block in your groovy functions. For instance, the release methods that once threw FlexNotFoundException now throw FlexDeployRowNotFoundException, consistent with other APIs made more recently.

• The column “Stream” in the csv file created by FLEXDEPLOY.getSnapshotCommitDetailInputStreams and FLEXDEPLOY.downloadSnapshotCommitDetails is renamed to "Branch"

• Classes in flexagon.fd.model.appmodules were refactored and their imports require changes if they were used in webhook, pipeline, or other groovy scripts. See the Solution for FLEXDEPLOY-11430 page for assistance.

URL Changes

Application URLs are updated as shown below. If you are referencing these URLs then adjust appropriately. In some cases, internal redirect is setup and previous URLs will continue to work for now.
