This POST service will perform the same action found on the Build Request Form. It will initiate a request to build the project selected in the qualifiedProjectName. The service will return the workflowRequestId which can be used by the getWorkflowRequestStatus call to determine when the workflow is complete.

This page includes examples for Full and Partial deploy project builds.

Build All for Partial Deploy Project

If trying to build a Partial Deploy project with all of the files in the repository (equivalent to Build All 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.
