Updates connection properties in an OIC Instance. Connection metadata should be in json format. If properties have attachments, those attachments will be uploaded as well. This operation is intended to work in tandem with exportConnections but it is not required. This operation can be utilized as long as their is a connections.json file in the temp directory. If there are attachments that need to be uploaded as well they should be at the same level as the connections.json and follow the same directory format as seen in the attachments section here.
Creating New Connections
Oracle does not have an API for creating connections. Connections are created only when done manually or when an integration is imported. This operation is for updating connections only. As such, it is recommended that this operation be carried out after an import integration operation in your workflow.

Artifacts
This operation consumes artifacts from the artifacts repository.
Endpoint Selection
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instance.
Endpoint Execution
This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.
Special Considerations
Attachments
This operation will also import any relevant attachments for the connections that may have been pulled during the 'exportConnections' operation.
Property Replacement
Prior to running 'updateConnections', FlexDeploy will perform property replacement on the connections.json file or the alternate connection file specified in the 'OIC Connection File' input. If the alternate file is used, property replacement will be performed on a copy and the original will remain unchanged.
