Releases can be retrieved through this API using a GET service.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a Release with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the Release. The other will find a list of Releases matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET (By Id)

PUT (update release)

This PUT service will update all attributes of a release with the given Id based on the attributes of a JSON object parameters. If an attribute is null it will delete or reset those attributes to their default value.

API URL

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

Minimum Requirements

ReleaseId and ReleaseName are required for PUT

Notes

Cannot start a release without at least one project (Full deployment or partial deployment).
Cannot add a project without all required property values for that property set.
Cannot end a release if there are running pipeline executions.
If PipelineName and PipelineID is provided, both must point to the same Pipeline.
PipelineName or PipelineId must be provided to set Pipeline Properties.
Adding a project requires a Project ID and Project Stream ID.
When adding a new project to the release, if no buildEnvironmentId is passed, then the service will attempt to initialize the BuildEnvironmentId if only one build environment instance is associated to it.
- BuildEnvironmentId must be a build environment and associated with the project's build instance under Topology
Full Deployment Projects:
- Cannot provide packageName or requestAllFiles
Partial Deployment Projects:
- Cannot provide packageName if requestAllFiles is true
- Must provide packageName if requestAllFile is false
Examples of valid Cron Expressions

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	Release updated
400	Bad request
401	Authentication failure
403	Authorization failure (no access to resource)
500	Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had a release in our database with an Id of 11101 and had the following attributes

Release PUT JSON

{
   "projects": [   {
      "buildEnvironmentId": null,
      "projectGroups": null,
      "packageName": "Package 1",
      "projectId": 33442,
      "projectStreamId": 3502,
      "requestAllFiles": false,
      "priority": 1
   }],
   "startDate": null,
   "endDate": null,
   "scheduleBuildExpression": null,
   "pipelineId": null
   "releaseStatus": "STARTED",
   "cmsDetails": null,
   "description": null,
   "releaseName": "Release Created From REST API",
   "releaseId": 13607,
   "pipelineName": null,
   "properties": []
}

When we run a PUT request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/releases/11101

And the PUT request receives the following JSON release object,

Release PUT Receive JSON

{
   "projects": [
		"projectId": 6789,
		"projectStreamId": 6790
	],
   "startDate": null,
   "endDate": null,
   "scheduleBuildExpression": null,
   "pipelineId": 12345,
   "releaseStatus": "NOTSTARTED",
   "cmsDetails":    {
      "cmsInstanceId": 01010
   },
   "description": "This is the updated Release",
   "releaseName": "Release Created From REST API",
   "pipelineName": "Pipeline 1",
   "properties":    [
       {
         "propertyValue": "3",
         "propertyName": "TESTPROPERTY"
       }     
   ]
}

The PUT request would then update the release with Id 11101 and return the following JSON release object. Notice that project with Id 33442 was removed and project with Id 6789 was added to the release. In this case, the buildEnvironmentId was automatically initialized.

Release PUT Return JSON

PATCH (append new or update existing)

This PATCH service will update an existing release with the information passed through a JSON object. PATCH will only add new data or update existing data, and does not support removing data.

API URL

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

Minimum Requirements

ReleaseId and ReleaseName are required for PATCH

Notes

Cannot start a release without at least one project (Full deployment or partial deployment).
Cannot add a project without all required property values for that property set.
Cannot end a release if there are running pipeline executions.
If PipelineName and PipelineID is provided, both must point to the same Pipeline.
PipelineName or PipelineId must be provided to set Pipeline Properties.
Adding a project requires a Project ID and Project Stream ID.
When adding a new project to the release, if no buildEnvironmentId is passed, then the service will attempt to initialize the BuildEnvironmentId if only one build environment instance is associated to it.
- BuildEnvironmentId must be a build environment and associated with the project's build instance under Topology
Full Deployment Projects:
- Cannot provide packageName or requestAllFiles
Partial Deployment Projects:
- Cannot provide packageName if requestAllFiles is true
- Must provide packageName if requestAllFile is false
Examples of valid Cron Expressions

Example

If we had a release in our database with an Id of 11101 and had the following attributes

Release PATCH JSON

{
   "projects": []
   "startDate": null,
   "endDate": null,
   "scheduleBuildExpression": null,
   "pipelineId": null
   "releaseStatus": "STARTED",
   "cmsDetails": null,
   "description": null,
   "releaseName": "Release Created From REST API",
   "releaseId": 13607,
   "pipelineName": null,
   "properties": []
}

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/releases/11101

And the PATCH request receives the following JSON release object.

Release PATCH Receive JSON

{
   "projects": [   {
      "projectId": 33442,
      "projectStreamId": 3502
   }],
   "pipelineId": 12345,
   "releaseStatus": "NOTSTARTED",
   "cmsDetails":    {
      "cmsInstanceId": 01010
   },
   "releaseName": "Release Created From REST API",
   "pipelineName": "Pipeline 1",
   "properties":    [
       {
         "propertyValue": "3",
         "propertyName": "TESTPROPERTY"
       }     
   ]
}

The PATCH request would then update the release with Id 11101 and return the following JSON release object.

Release PATCH Return JSON

{
   "projects": [   {
      "buildEnvironmentId": null,
      "projectGroups": null,
      "packageName": "Package 1",
      "projectId": 33442,
      "projectStreamId": 3502,
      "requestAllFiles": false,
      "priority": 1
   }],
   "startDate": null,
   "endDate": null,
   "scheduleBuildExpression": null,
   "pipelineId": 12345,
   "releaseStatus": "STARTED",
   "cmsDetails":    {
      "cmsInstanceId": 01010,
      "overriddenDefaultConfigurations": null,
      "overriddenEnvironmentConfigurations": null,
      "overrideSettings": false
   },
   "description": "This is the updated Release",
   "releaseName": "Release Created From REST API",
   "releaseId": 13607,
   "pipelineName": "Pipeline 1",
   "properties":    [
       {
         "propertyValue": "3",

       }     
   ]
}
