Project Packages API

Project Packages API

Owned by Emily Simon

This API is available starting with version @5.2.0.1

Project packages 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 packages.

Base URL for Environment REST API

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/{projectId}/package

If we had a package with the name ALM-150 in a project with id 14935, when we run a GET request at the URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/14935/package/ALM-150,

the GET request would return the following JSON package object:

Package GET Return JSON
{
   "name": "ALM-150",
   "description": null,
   "files": [
		{
			"filePath": "/sql/XXHR_BIPUB_REP_PKG.pls",

When we run a PUT request at the URL http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/14935/package/REST_Package, and the PUT request receives the following JSON package object,

Package PUT Receive JSON

The PUT request would then update the package and return the following JSON package object:

Package PUT Return JSON
