Environment Instances can be accessed and modified through this API using three services: GET, PUT, and PATCH. These three services allow for the retrieval, complete update, and partial update of environment instances.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

GET

This GET service will find an environment instance with the given environment id and instance id. It returns the JSON representation of the environment instance. 

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/{environmentId}/{instanceId}

Request

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

environmentId

URLYesURL parameter for the environment Id which is used to find and return an environment instance
instanceIdURLYesURL parameter for the instance Id which is used to find and return an environment instance

Response

AttributesTypeDescription
endPointIdLongEndpoint id mapped to environment instance.
resourceTypeIdsList<Long>List of resource type id for endpoint mapping.

Property value, relative to Environment Instance is defined as shown below.

AttributesTypeDescription
propertyNameStringProperty code

Response Codes

HTTP CodeDescription
200Environment Instance was found and returned
401Authentication failure
403Authorization failure (no access to resource)
404Environment Instance not found
500Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had an environment instance in our database with an environment id of 12347 and an instance id of 12342 with the following attributes,

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": null
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": "15"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.company.local"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": "8001"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa"
		}
	]
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/12347/12342

The GET request would return the following JSON environment instance object:

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": null
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": "15"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.company.local"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": "8001"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa"
		}
	]
}

PUT

This PUT service will replace all attributes of an environment instance with the given environment instance corresponding to the environment id and instance id provided in the url.

Example

If we had an environment instance in our database with an environment id of 12347 and an instance id of 12342 with the following attributes,

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": null
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",

		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa"
		}
	]
}

When we run a PUT request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/12347/12342

And the PUT request receives the following JSON environment instance object,

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": []
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": "classpath"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": "15"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.newcompany.local"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": "8001"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa"
		}
	]
}

The PUT request would then update the environment instance with the environment 12347 and the instance 12342. It will return the following JSON object:

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": []
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": "classpath"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": "15"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.newcompany.local"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": "8001"
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa"
		}
	]
}

Example

If we had an environment instance in our database with an environment id of 12347 and an instance id of 12342 with the following attributes,

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224]
		},
		{

	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true
	"properties":

		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa"
		}
	]
}

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/12347/12342

And the PATCH request receives the following JSON environment instance object,

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [12123]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 12241,

		}
	],
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": "new value"
		}
	]
}

The PATCH request would then update the environment instance with the environment 12347 and the instance 12342. It will return the following JSON object:

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,

			"resourceIds": [11223]
		},

			"endPointId": 12241,
			"resourceIds": [18612]
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
