POST (create snapshot)

This POST service will create a new snapshot with the same attributes as the given JSON object.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/releases/{releaseId}/snapshot

Request

POST will receive a snapshot input JSON object and return a snapshot JSON object. Snapshot input JSON objects can have the following attributes:

Attributes	Type	Required	Description
releaseId	URL	Yes	Path parameter for the release Id where the snapshot will be added
action	String	Yes	should be set to createSnapshot for this API.
description	String	No	The description of the snapshot
snapshotVersionInputs	List<SnapshotVersionInputPojo>	No	A list of project versions to be built or existing versions to be associated with new snapshot. If you do not provide projectVersionId, build will be initiated. If you do not supply specific project that is configured in release, it will be added for build. projectId and packageName is used to identify if project is configured in Release or not. If you supply projectId and packageName combination that is not part of release, exception will be thrown.

Elements of snapshotVersionInputs has following attributes:

Attributes	Type	Required	Description
projectId	Long	Yes	Project associated with release.
projectVersionId	Long	No	The version id of the project. If project version is not supplied new build will be performed.
packageName	String	Yes for partial deploy, otherwise No	The name of the package (used for partial deployment projects only) associated with release. If Partial deployment project and packageName is not supplied it will be considered all files type version.
buildEnvironmentId	Long	No	The build environment associated with the project. If not supplied and only one environment found for build instance then it will be defaulted.

Example

If the POST request sent to http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/releases/12345/snapshot receives the following JSON environment object,

POST JSON
