SCM Instances can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of SCM Instances.

Base URL for SCM Instance REST API

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/scminstance

Each function returns a JSON SCM instance object. The test SCM instance Object is an object that has these attributes,

Attributes	Type	Description
instanceId	Long	This is an id of the SCM Instance.
instanceCode	String	This is a code of the SCM instance.
instanceName	String	This is the unique name of the SCM instance.
scmtype	String	This is the SCM type of the SCM instance.
isActive	Boolean	This is a Boolean that tracks whether or not the SCM instance is active.
description	String	This is the description of the SCM instance.
properties	List<PropertyValuePojo>	This is a list of the Properties associated with the SCM instance.

Each JSON SCM instance object contains a list of property values. The property value object has these attributes:

Attributes	Type	Description
propertyName	String	This is the name of the property
propertyValue	String	This is the value of the property

Currently there are 8 different source control management types that are supported in Flex Deploy.

GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a SCM instance with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the SCM instance. The other will find a list of SCM instances matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET (Using Id)

This GET service will find a SCM instance with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/scminstance/{Id}

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Id	Yes	URL	This is a URL parameter for the Id which is used to find and return a SCM instance with.

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	SCM instance was found and returned
400	Bad request
401	Unauthorized
500	Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had a SCM instance in our database with an Id of 11101 and had the following attributes

SCM Instance - 11101

{
   "instanceId": 11101,
   "instanceName": "ScmName1",
   "properties":    [
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_URL",
         "propertyValue": "url"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_USER",
         "propertyValue": "user"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_PASSWORD",
         "propertyValue": "password"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_TIMEOUT",
         "propertyValue": "10000"
      }
   ],
   "scmType": "GIT",
   "description": "description",
   "instanceCode": "CODE1",
   "isActive": true
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/scminstance/11101

The GET request would return the following JSON SCM instance object

SCM Instance GET Return JSON

{
   "instanceId": 11101,
   "instanceName": "ScmName1",
   "properties":    [
            {

      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_USER",
         "propertyValue": "user"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_PASSWORD",
         "propertyValue": "password"
      },
            {
         "propertyName": "FDGIT_TIMEOUT",

      }
   ],
   "scmType": "GIT",
   "description": "description",

GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will find a SCM instance by querying based on a name, code, and/or type of the SCM and return the JSON representations of the objects. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of SCM instances.

API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/scminstance?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

instanceName={name}

instanceCode={code}

scmType={type}

Examples:

To search by code only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/scminstance?instanceCode={code}

To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/integrations/scminstance?instanceName={name}

To search by type and name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/scminstance?scmType={type}&instanceName={name}

The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by name=NAME is the same as searching by name=name.
