Get(Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will find a project by querying based on a name and application id and return the JSON representations of the objects. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of projects.

API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project?
Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters. Use '&' between successive query parameters:

projectName={name}
applicationId={applicationid}
folderPath={folderPath}
isActive={isActive}

folderPath Format

Path parameters are separated by slashes(forward or backward).
Trailing slashes will be ignored.
Single leading slashes are ignored.
To access a folder or application, it's full path from the project archive root folder must be used.
A shorted path is valid, but will return more results.
The project archive root folder is an optional path parameter.
Folders and applications are considered path parameters.
Forward and backward slashes are accepted
Project names are not considered path parameters. For example,
- The folderPath used to access the 'AccountingApps' application :
- /Flexdeploy/CommerceProjects/AccountingApps/
  - or
- CommerceProjects\AccountingApps
- i.e. you can omit FlexDeploy at start of folderPath

Examples:

To search by name only: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project?projectName={name}
To search by group only: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project?applicationId={applicationid}
To search by folderPathonly: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project?folderPath={folderPath}
To search for all active projects: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project?isActive=true
To search by name and applicationId: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project?projectName={name}&applicationId={applicationid}

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

This POST service will perform the same action found on the Build Request Form. It will initiate a request to build the project with the given Id. The service will return workflow request. Workflow request id from return data can be used with Workflow Request API to determine when the execution is complete.

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

API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/(Id)/build

Request

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